Guide for Contributors

Articles and review articles should be submitted to the editors for consideration in two typescript copies (double spacing on one side of A4 paper or nearest equivalent) and one electronic copy (PC-compatible disk, text formatted in Microsoft Word). They should not exceed the maximum prescribed length in each case: 8500 words (but preferably under this) for articles and 4,000 words for review articles. Book reviews should not be longer than requested. The languages of publication are English and Russian. All contributions should be submitted in a form ready for publication and must conform to the following guidelines:
  • Orthography: British rather than US usage (theatre, not theater, -ize rather than  -ise) should be observed
  • Transliteration should follow the Library of Congress system (e.g. Dostoevskii), except for articles on linguistic topics, which should adhere to the ISO system (e.g. Dostojevskij); except in specific references to or quotations from sources in Russian, 'standard' anglicised forms of Russian names are acceptable (e.g. Dostoevsky)
  • Punctuation: single quotation marks should be used for single words and phrases and short quotations incorporated into the main text, double quotation marks for quotations within quotations (longer quotations should be indented and blocked with no quotation marks). Titles of novels, plays, monographs etc are italicised; titles of short stories, book chapters and articles are enclosed in single quotation marks. Commas and full stops should be placed outside closing quotation marks; superscript footnote numbers after closing quotation marks
  • Documentation and referencing: all quotations should be documented either in footnotes or by means of in-text citation (ie the author-date system, with a list of works cited listed at the end of the article). Manuscripts containing inconsistencies in this regard will be returned to the author. References should conform to the following conventions:
Book
R.F. Christian, Tolstoy's 'War and Peace': A Study (Oxford: The Clarendon Press, 1962), 111.
 
Book chapter
Samuel Kassow, 'Professionalism Among University Professors', in Russia's Missing Middle Class: The Professsions in Russian History, ed. Harley D. Balzer (Armonk, NJ: M.E.Sharpe, 1966), 218.
 
Article in journal
Olga Sobolev, 'Boris Akunin and the Rise of the Russian Detective Genre', Australian Slavonic and East European Studies 18 (2004), 63-86

 
Contributors are referred to the current edition of the MHRA Style Book (London: Modern Humanities Research Association, 2002).
 
Subsequent references to the same source should be given in an abbreviated form, usually consisting of the author's surname and a page number. Where more than one work by the same author is cited, a shortened title should be used. Latinate abbreviations (op.cit., loc.cit., ibid.) should be avoided.
 
ASEES replaces Melbourne Slavonic Studies, founded in 1967 by the late Nina Christesen, which ceased publication with Volume 19, 1985. Back issues of most volumes are available for $A10.00 per issue ($A20.00 for double issues) plus GST.
