the accuracy and completeness of their bibliographic citations,
and all necessary permissions for quotations and photographs.
The Editorial Board of BRIDGES welcomes manuscripts that are
apropos to the Statement of Purpose. Submissions shall be
no longer than 15 double-space typed or word-processed pages
(~4,500 words) in length (excluding endnotes). Except for

numbered consecutively and appear at the end of the manuscript
in
single-spaced format.

BRIDGES is not responsible for any damage or loss incurred in
mailing. Allow approximately 3 months for reply. Especially
helpful are electronic submissions that are compatible with
International Business Machine (IBM) personal computers, specifically
those manuscripts created using Corel WordPerfect 10 software
on DOS-formatted 3.5" diskettes or CD-ROM. Articles shall
contain a 150-word abstract, to be submitted as a separate page.
A listing of six to eight keywords should be included on the
page with the abstract. Article titles should be very informative
to assist in retrieval from data base searches. Authors shall
also submit a 100-word vita that includes the reasons why they
wrote their particular piece. Because manuscripts will be evaluated
on an anonymous basis, authors should have no reference to their
name on any other than the Title Page.
No manuscript will be considered for publication if it is concurrently
under consideration by another journal or press or if it has
been published or is soon to be published elsewhere. Both restrictions
apply to the substance as well as to the exact wording of the
manuscript. The Editor reserves the right to copy-edit all accepted
manuscripts in accord with current University of Chicago Manual
of Style guidelines. Sexist language will also be altered at
the Editor's discretion. The Editor may suggest other changes
in the interest of clarity and economy of expression; such changes
are not made without consultation with authors. The Editor is
the final arbiter of length, grammar, and usage.
