SUBMISSION OF ARTICLES

The Journal of Indo-European Studies welcomes submissions on any aspect of Indo-European history and culture. Articles should be submitted electronically to the General Editor, ebwest@stkate.edu. Acknowledgments are sent upon receipt. All submissions are reviewed by appropriate members of the Review Board and then passed on to selected referees. This process may take up to three months. Please refrain from inquiring about the status of your submission until that time has elapsed. All decisions are final.

Submission by authors of a manuscript for publication in JIES shall be accepted as confirmation of the assignment of copyright to the Institute for the Study of Man, publisher of The Journal of Indo-European Studies, in the event the manuscript is accepted for publication. Submission also indicates authorization for the Institute for the Study of Man to distribute the article both in print and electronically, either directly or through agents, and to be entitled to any remuneration received therefrom. Authors retain the right to publish the article or any part of it elsewhere, providing that they acknowledge its prior appearance in JIES and withhold such secondary publication for a period of not less than twenty-four months after its publication in JIES. Inclusion of the article in an institutional repository prior to that period may be permitted by the Journal under certain conditions.
       
Authors are required to obtain permission for the reproduction or adaptation of any figures published in an article.
       
All sources, print and electronic, must be referenced. This includes sources for figures and tables. 

SUBMISSION FORMAT                                                         

Each article must be prefaced with an abstract. Abstracts should clearly indicate the topic of the paper and briefly summarize its original contribution.
    
Articles should be submitted in electronic form. The preferred format is Microsoft Word. Any manuscripts involving diacritics, complex tables embedded in the text, or figures generated by the word processor should be accompanied by a PDF showing exact formatting. Figures should be submitted in a format supported by Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, or InDesign.

STYLE

Once accepted, articles should follow JIES style as laid out in the JIES style sheet. These  guidelines focus on standards particular to JIES as well as common errors. Initial submissions are not required to adhere to these standards.
