Submissions
Authors should submit their manuscripts in Microsoft Word by email attachment to the editors, Matthew C. Hulbert (gro.l1738750297aciro1738750297tsihn1738750297oslif1738750297@treb1738750297luhm1738750297) and Jason Krupar (ude.c1738750297u.lia1738750297mcu@n1738750297jrapu1738750297rk1738750297).
The preferred manuscript length is 20 to 25 pages (6,000 to 7,500 words), exclusive of notes. Research notes and review essays are approximately half the length of articles. Footnotes are preferred to endnotes for initial review. OVH uses omnibus citations (one note per paragraph).
To facilitate our policy of anonymous manuscript review, the author’s identifying information should not be included in the Word document of the article, just the article title. In a separate document, include the author’s name, institutional affiliation, a short (3-5 sentence) biography, and contact information (mailing address, phone number, and email address). Ohio Valley History follows the Chicago Manual of Style, 14th edition or above. We suggest that authors refer to previous issues of the journal for examples of format and style.
