Style Guide

In order to ensure the professionalism of the journal and to reduce the labour of uploading documents, it is vital that final submissions adhere to the following format:

Title

Author

Text: with minimal formatting as it will all be lost in the transfer to the web, and have to be redone manually. Please use in-text referencing; no endnotes or footnotes for referencing. If notes are vital they should be kept to an absolute minimum (no more than 3) as these dramatically intensify labour commitments.

Images: should be attached in a separate file, preferably 72dpi for optimum web access (but we can convert these if you cannot).

References: alphabetical by surname, with a space between each entry, left hand margin only with no indentations. MLA style is preferred but any reasonable style will be accepted providing it is consistent and shows adequate detail (including page numbers).

Bio: please send a brief biography of 3-4 lines.

Refereeing

Outskirts: feminisms along the edge is a fully refereed online journal. It is listed in Urlich's Periodical Directory. ISSN 1445-0445
