Advice for authors on style in LSA publications, both the Journal and the Quarterly
To facilitate electronic reading, LSA publications now follow The Chicago Manual of Style, 17th ed. (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2017)—the CMOS—or its electronic counterpart chicagomanualofstyle.org for questions of style and formatting.
LSA publications use the “Author-date” system of citation (starting with JLSA 52 (2019) and LSAQ 55, No 1 (2019)). Use chapter 15 of the CMOS “Author-date references” for guidance. Do not use chapter 14 “Notes and references”
We have updated our footnote style – please see the LSA Style Guide below for details.
A list of “Works cited” or “References” should be included at the end of the main text of your article, formatted according to the Chicago Manual of Style.
Check references, wording of quotations, etc., before submitting your article and again on receipt of the copy-edited manuscript
Eliminate or minimize the number of cross-references that require alteration at proof stage.
