Information for Authors
Articles submitted for publication should be from 5,000-10,000 words, written in English, and typed double-spaced. They may not have been previously published or be pending publication elsewhere. Footnotes should be used sparingly: to give sources of direct quotations, references to main authorities on disputable questions, and evidence relied on for a new or unusual conclusion. They should be numbered in one sequence and typed, double-spaced, at the end of the article. Contributors should submit manuscripts in duplicate with an electronic copy (Word preferable) and retain one copy for correcting proofs. Manuscripts that are not accepted will be returned only if accompanied by return postage.
A style sheet with instructions for the transliteration of Yiddish is available from the Editorial Office.
Each contributor will receive a URL for free online access to his or her article, as well as one free copy of the issue in which it appears. Offprints or additional copies of the issue may be ordered by using the offprint order form that will accompany proofs.
Contributions, books for review, and other editorial correspondence should be sent to the Editor:
Professor Steven T. Katz
Center for Judaic Studies
Boston University
147 Bay State Road
Boston, MA 02215

License
It is a condition of publication in the journal that authors grant an exclusive license to Oxford University Press. Requests for permission to reprint material found in the journal should come to Oxford University Press. 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. As part of the license agreement, 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 as the publisher.
Permission for Illustrations and Figures
Permission to reproduce copyright material, for print and online publication in perpetuity, must be cleared and if necessary paid for by the author; this includes applications and payments to DACS, ARS, and similar licensing agencies where appropriate. Evidence in writing that such permissions have been secured from the rights-holder must be made available to the editors. It is also the author's responsibility to include acknowledgements as stipulated by the particular institutions. Oxford Journals can offer information and documentation to assist authors in securing print and online permissions: please see the Guidelines for Authors section. Information on permissions contacts for a number of main galleries and museums can also be provided. Should you require copies of this, please contact the editorial office of the journal in question or the Oxford Journals Rights department.
