LTR XII (Academic Year 1999-2000): 108-10 GUIDELINES FOR CONTRIBUTORS Lutheran Theological Review, the official journal of Lutheran Church– Canada’s two seminaries (Edmonton and St. Catharines), “exists for the discussion of theological issues within the frame of reference of Confessional Lutheranism”. We invite contributors to submit carefully researched theological essays or sermons which will promote such discussion and strengthen our confession of the truth of the Gospel. Items may be submitted in either of Canada’s two official languages: English or French. The editors will determine what materials are suitable for publication. If submitting by post, please send both printed copy and computer disk (see below). If the LTR editors must pay to have a submission entered onto computer, the added cost might prohibit its publication. Items may be mailed to: Lutheran Theological Review Concordia Lutheran Theological Seminary 470 Glenridge Ave St. Catharines, ON L2T 4C3 Canada Alternatively, enquiries and proposals may be sent via e-mail to the editors at one of the following: ekettner@connect.ab.ca twinger@spartan.ac.brocku.ca E-mailed files must be followed up by paper copy. Submissions, whether accepted or not, will not be returned. The editors will, however, inform the contributor of their decision. Furthermore, the editors will be greatly appreciative if contributors observe the following guidelines. LANGUAGE (the following comments apply to English language submissions) Spelling & Punctuation: LTR uses as its primary authority The Canadian Oxford Dictionary (1998). This excellent resource relies not only on the meticulously researched data of the British OED, but is also based on extensive research of Canadian usage. Recently adopted by the Canadian Press, it is widely becoming the standard. Writers should consult its “Style Guide”, Appendix 1, pp. 1698-1703. In general, punctuation should be used not merely for the sake of formal rules but to aid comprehension and avoid ambiguity. In the use of quotation marks, as recommended by the COD and Fowler’s Modern English Usage, LTR observes the so-called “logical” system: if the punctuation mark belongs
GUIDELINES FOR CONTRIBUTORS 109 to the source, it should be included within the quotations marks; if the punctuation belongs to the essay, it should be outside the marks. The editors of LTR will not change the wording of submitted essays without the author’s approval; they will, however, modify the spelling and punctuation to conform to this standard. Abbreviations: Standard abbreviations of the Bible may be used without explanation. We ask only that you be consistent and avoid ambiguity (e.g. “Ezek.” and “Ezra”, not “Ez.”). Roman numerals are preferred for sequential biblical books (e.g. “I Cor.”; “II Cor.”) and article numbers of the Lutheran Confessions (e.g. AC XX:2; Ap IV:3). Standard abbreviations for the Lutheran Confessions, Luther’s works, some Lutheran hymnals, and some exegetical resources are now printed at the front of LTR. Authors may use these abbreviations without explanation. FORMAT Subheadings: Writers should not overcomplicate their documents with elaborate structure. The organization should be apparent through good writing. However, one or two levels of sub-headings are ordinarily permitted to organize the essay into sections. Emphasis: Words or phrases to be emphasized should be placed in bold type. Italics are reserved for foreign words and book titles. Foreign languages: Foreign words which occur within a vernacular sentence should be italicized. Whole sentences or paragraphs should not be italicized. It is always helpful to offer a vernacular translation of foreign words and quotations. Greek/Hebrew: LTR includes these biblical languages in their proper fonts, with accents and vowels points. Transliteration is undesirable. LTR uses “Bwgrkl” for Greek and “Bwhebb” for Hebrew—TrueType fonts provided with “BibleWorks for Windows”. Please use these fonts, if possible. Due to copyright restrictions, however, LTR cannot provide them to contributors. If the paper copy includes clear Greek or Hebrew words (either hand-written or computer printed), the editors will convert them into the proper fonts. Computer format: LTR is edited and printed in Microsoft Word, version 9.0 (Word 2000). Therefore, we prefer submissions in this or any earlier Word format. Second best is WordPerfect format (6.1 or earlier), which converts well. If any other word processor is used, submit two versions: the original format, and one converted to “text only” (preferably: “Windows text”; 2 nd choice: “MS-DOS text”). Macintosh users should have their files saved onto an IBM formatted disk. Alternatively, the file can be e-mailed as an attachment. Word for Mac (and WordPerfect for Mac) files convert well. Other Mac formats should be converted to text
