Special Issue IOSOT 2013 - Books and Journals

Instructions for Authors
1. Contributions submitted should be written in English, French, or German, and should not have been
published or accepted for publication in any language elsewhere.
2. Contributions should be completely ready for printing and should conform to the conventions of the
journal.
3. In order to reduce delays in publication, contributors are asked to write as concisely as possible. Priority
will be given to Short Notes and to articles of less than 5000 words, and only a small number of longer
articles will be published each year. Contributors are also asked to keep footnotes as brief as possible and
to exclude any that are unnecessary.
4. Contributions should be typewritten/printed with double spacing, and a margin of not less than
3 cm should be left between the beginning of each line and the left side of the page.
5. Footnotes should be typed/printed (also with double spacing) at the foot of the page to which they refer.
Footnotes should be numbered consecutively for the whole article.
6. Contributions should include an Abstract and Keywords in English. An Abstract should not amount to
more than 150 words in the case of an article, or 30 words in the case of a Short Note. Keywords should
consist of 2-6 words or short phrases.
7. The use of Hebrew script is acceptable where it is desirable for the argument. Otherwise, the letters of the
Hebrew alphabet are transliterated as follows: ʾ bgdhwzḥṭyklmnsʿ p ṣ qrśšt ; if it is uncertain whether ś
or š is intended (e.g. in an inscription), š is used. The Editorial Board are willing to accept more than one
system of transliterating the vowels, but they reserve the right to modify what is submitted. Dagesh forte
is represented (only in vocalized Hebrew) by doubling the relevant consonant. No distinction is made in
transliteration between the two pronunciations of any of the letters bgdkpt. When waw and yodh are used
as vowel letters, they are not represented as consonants in transliterations of vocalized Hebrew (e.g. byt
unvocalized, but bēt, bêt, etc. vocalized).
8. The same font and point size (no smaller than 12 point) should be used throughout the manuscript, with no
special fonts (bold, italics, etc.) except approved foreign language scripts. Italics should only be indicated
by single underlining if no italics function is available.
9. Titles of books and journals (indicated, where appropriate, by the usual initials) should be in italics,
and titles of articles between double quotation marks. Authors’ names should be in ordinary type, not
in capitals. The form of references may be illustrated as follows: J. S. Penkower, “Verse Divisions in the
Hebrew Bible”, VT 50 (2000), pp. 379-393; J. Barthel, Prophetenwort und Geschichte (Tübingen, 1997);
J. A. Emerton (ed.), Studies in the Pentateuch (VTSup 41; Leiden, 1990); J. Milgrom, “The Case of the Suspected
Adulteress, Numbers 5:11-31: Redaction and Meaning”, in R. E. Friedman (ed.), The Creation of Sacred Literature
(Berkeley, 1981), pp. 69-79. If there is a ‘Works Cited’ at the end of the article, the references in the article
itself should be brief: e.g., Emerton, p. 25, or, if more than one publication of the same author is used, the year
of publication should be added: Emerton, 1995, p. 25.
10. Scripture references should be given thus: 2 Sam 14:5, 8; Jer 3:6; 16:2.
