Submission of a manuscript implies a commitment by the author to publish in the journal, if the manuscript is accepted, and the editors assume that any manuscript submitted to JUH is not currently under consideration by any other journal. Manuscripts should be no more than 30 pages typewritten double-spaced pages with footnotes, references, tables and figures on separate pages. Manuscripts are subjected to blind peer review and require the author's name(s) and affiliation listed on a separate page. Any other identification, including any references in the manuscript, the notes, the title, and reference sections should be removed from the paper and listed on separate pages. Accepted submissions must conform to the Chicago Manual of Style, 15th edition. Each submission should also include an abstract between 100-150 words, several keywords, and a brief biographical paragraph describing each author's current affiliation, research interests, and recent publications should also accompany the manuscript. Since manuscripts are reviewed anonymously, the author's name and affiliation should appear only on a separate covering page.

SAGE's policy on fair use of manuscripts is listed here: <http://www.sagepub.com/authors/journal/permissions.sp>, and a sample contributor form is available on JUH's SAGE Track submission site. Uploading previous drafts of submitted papers to online repositories does not disqualify a paper from being submitted to JUH. However, articles previously published in books, reference works, or other journals, or under review at any other journal may not be submitted to JUH.

Authors who want to refine the use of English in their manuscripts might consider utilizing the services of SPi, a non-affiliated company that offers Professional Editing Services to authors of journal articles in the areas of science, technology, medicine or the social sciences. SPi specializes in editing and correcting English-language manuscripts written by authors with a primary language other than English. Visit http://www.prof-editing.com for more information about SPi’s Professional Editing Services, pricing, and turn-around times, or to obtain a free quote or submit a manuscript for language polishing.

Please be aware that SAGE has no affiliation with SPi and makes no endorsement of the company. An author’s use of SPi’s services in no way guarantees that his or her submission will ultimately be accepted. Any arrangement an author enters into will be exclusively between the author and SPi, and any costs incurred are the sole responsibility of the author.
