EVENTAL AESTHETICS STYLE GUIDE

The following is required of all submitted articles and Collisions. Submissions that do not meet
these requirements will not be considered for publication or sent for peer-review.

MECHANICS_________________________________________________________________

Authors should use American spelling and grammar. Our arbiters are The Chicago Manual of
Style and Merriam-Websters Collegiate Dictionary. If more than one spelling is given or more
than one form of the plural, Chicago normally opts for the first form listed, thus aiding
consistency.
All text should be double-spaced.
The standard indent is one-half inch or five spaces. Apply an indent to each new paragraph,
hanging indents in references, and block quotes.
Leave a margin of one inch on all four edges of the page.
Use a legible typeface no smaller than 12pts.
The authors name should not appear anywhere in the submission document.
Submit in MS Word (.doc or .docx), not PDF.

PUNCTUATION_______________________________________________________________

Quotation marks
Use double quotation marks except for quotations within quotations, which should use single
marks.
For ironic or emphatic remarks, single quotation marks should be used.
All punctuation should go inside quotation marks except colons and semicolons.
Dashes
When using an en dash to set off nested clauses or parenthetical statements, make sure to
employ a single space on each side. Due to the idiosyncrasies of this journals font, EA favors
the use of the spaced en dash over the em dash with no additional spacing.
Only when the en dash is used to indicate a closed range of values between dates, times, or
numbers should it not be surrounded by spaces.

Ellipses
Do not bracket ellipses inside quotations. When using ellipses in the middle of a sentence, a
space should appear between the first and last ellipsis marks and the surrounding letters. If
words are omitted at the end of a sentence, it is not necessary to indicate the omission with
ellipses. Similarly, when words at the beginning of a quoted sentence are omitted, do not use
ellipses when that fragment can fit into the flow of your text.
Brackets
Use square brackets to indicate words added to quotations. In addition, when a quotation
contains a capital letter that you must rewrite as a lowercase letter (or vice versa), surround the
rewritten letter with square brackets.
Italics
Please use Italics, not underlines, for emphasis. If a quoted passage contains Italics, the
endnote in which the passage is cited should specify Emphasis added, if you have added the
Italics, or Emphasis original, if the Italics appear in the original, quoted document.
Period Spacing
Because The Chicago Manual of Style has endorsed both single spacing and double spacing
after the concluding punctuation of a sentence, it comes down to an issue of aesthetics. Due to
the modern complexity of references, quotations, and footnotes, EA prescribes the use of two
spaces after periods and colons and one space after semicolons.
SOURCES________________________________________________________________

Endnotes
Citations should appear at the end of the article under the heading Notes.
References are not to be cited in the body of the text but rather in an endnote. Please do not
use parenthetical citations.
Successive citations from the same source must use Ibid eg., x. Ibid., PagePage.
Intervening entries (citations of sources that you have previously cited but with citations of other
sources intervening) require a reference to the original citation in this form: Authors Last Name,
Short Title, Page-Page. For example: Hegel, Phenomenology, 213.

Reference List
Titles and publication information appear at the end of the submission under the heading
References and should be listed alphabetically by author and chronologically for each author.
