Author Guidelines

Authors should follow the Chicago Manual of Style in preparing manuscripts for the Journal. All manuscripts should be in 12-point type, double-spaced, and 20 to 25 pages in length exclusive of notes (although longer or shorter manuscripts are occasionally accepted).

All manuscripts accepted for publication will be edited to conform to Journal style. Editors may make changes for clarity, consistency, and word economy. Authors are expected to review typescripts and galleys.

Photographs, maps, and other illustrations must be provided in high-quality, camera-ready form, or digitally in grayscale TIFF files at a resolution of at least 300 dpi. It is the responsibility of the author to obtain authorization from copyright holders for images reproduced in the Journal of the Abraham Lincoln Association. All illustrations are reproduced in black-and-white.
