Submissions

Manuscripts must be submitted online. 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.

Submissions are considered for publication on the understanding that the author offers the Journal of Hindu Studies an exclusive option for publication. Submission of a paper will be taken to imply that it is unpublished, and articles (including notes and studies) submitted for publication should embody original research or critical study and should not be under simultaneous consideration for publication elsewhere, either in the same or in another form.
The editors reserve the right to make editorial changes but will not make major changes without the author’s approval.
The author’s full contact details must appear on the text. Articles should ideally be between 2500 and 10,000 words. An abstract of 100-150 words should additionally be provided at the beginning of the article, and authors should also provide a brief autobiography of approximately 100 words.

Scripts must be carefully checked for typographical and factual accuracy before submission, with special care taken for in checking references and quotations, transcription, accents and spelling. Texts must use English as their primary language. If diacritical fonts are used, Times New Roman or a ‘Sanskrit’ font is preferred, and the author should include information specifying which fonts/packages have been used. If the text is accepted for publication, the author may be required to submit a version in a specified font.
Endnotes are preferred over footnotes, and should be kept to a minimum with parentheses in the text preferred. Relevant illustrations are welcomed, and it is the author’s responsibility to obtain full permission to reproduce the material, and to provide suitable numbered captions with details and acknowledgements. Images on disk can be accepted in Adobe PhotoShop compatible formats. We can accept CD-ROMs. Figures must be saved as high resolution TIFF files (at least 300 pixels per inch for photographs, and 1200 pixels per inch for black and white line drawings).
