SUBMISSION OF TYPESCRIPTS:

Manuscripts must be submitted online. JDH conducts double-blinded peer reviews. Manuscripts (designate as Main Document) should include no identifying author information; the author’s name should not appear anywhere in the Main Document, including the references/notes. A separate title page (designate as Title Page) should be uploaded with author details, any acknowledgements, and an address for correspondence with readers. Once you have prepared your manuscript according to the instructions below please visit the online submission web site. Instructions on submitting your manuscript online can be viewed here.

General guidelines for submitting reviews can be viewed here.

ABSTRACTS:

Authors are asked to provide brief synopses of between 100 and 200 words. These should be attached to the front of the typescript.

TYPESCRIPT LAYOUT:

Manuscripts to be uploaded for submission should be typed, double-spaced, on A4 format pages (8.5 x 11 inches). Ample margins should be left. Each page of the typescript should be numbered. In articles and review articles endnotes should be numbered consecutively and placed together on a separate page or pages at the end of the article. Full captions for all illustrations should be included with the submission. Endnotes should not be used in short reviews. Short quotations within the text should be marked by single quotation marks. Longer quotations should be inset from the main text and typed single spaced. All articles should be written in English; quotations from foreign language texts should be translated into English (where necessary the original text may be quoted in the endnotes).

Guidelines for the layout of reviews can be viewed here.

It is the author's responsibility to obtain permission to quote from copyright sources.

Articles may be illustrated with black and white half-tone or line illustrations, or colour images, as appropriate to the subject matter; however, the publisher encourages colour images where appropriate and/or possible.

LICENCE TO PUBLISH:

It is a condition of publication in the Journal that authors grant an exclusive licence to The Design History Society. This ensures that requests from third parties to reproduce articles are handled efficiently and consistently and will also allow the article to be as widely disseminated as possible. In granting an exclusive licence, authors may use their own material in other publications provided that the Journal is acknowledged as the original place of publication, and Oxford University Press is notified in writing and in advance.

Upon receipt of accepted manuscripts at Oxford Journals authors will be invited to complete an online copyright licence to publish form.

Please note that by submitting an article for publication you confirm that you are the corresponding/submitting author and that Oxford University Press ("OUP") may retain your email address for the purpose of communicating with you about the article. You agree to notify OUP immediately if your details change. If your article is accepted for publication OUP will contact you using the email address you have used in the registration process. Please note that OUP does not retain copies of rejected articles.

OPEN ACCESS

OPEN ACCESS OPTION FOR AUTHORS
Journal of Design History authors have the option to publish their paper under the Oxford Open initiative [http://www.oxfordjournals.org/oxfordopen/]; whereby, for a charge, their paper will be made freely available online immediately upon publication. After your manuscript is accepted the corresponding author will be required to accept a mandatory licence to publish agreement. As part of the licensing process you will be asked to indicate whether or not you wish to pay for Open Access. If you do not select the Open Access option, your paper will be published with standard subscription-based access and you will not be charged.

You can pay Open Access charges using our Author Services site. This will enable you to pay online with a credit/debit card, or request an invoice by email or post. Open Access charges can be viewed here in detail; discounted rates are available for authors based in some developing countries (click here for a list of qualifying countries).

Orders from the UK will be subject to the current UK VAT charge. For orders from the rest of the European Union, OUP will assume that the service is provided for business purposes. Please provide a VAT number for yourself or your institution and ensure you account for your own local VAT correctly.

ALTERATIONS:

Authors will be informed by email of editorial decisions and may consult their Author Centre for the current status of the review of their manuscript, including alterations requested and proofs. In cases where the Editorial Board has accepted a paper subject to revisions, the author will normally be asked to complete these by a specific deadline. To avoid delays in the production of the Journal, proofs should be corrected and returned within three days of receipt. Corrections should be limited to mistakes; no rewriting will be accepted. If the author's corrected proofs are not returned in time, the editor will be responsible for press.
