1. Subject Matter

SEEJ publishes research studies in all areas of Slavic languages, literatures, and cultures. Papers
on non-Slavic East European subjects of interest to Slavicists may also be considered. Submitted
articles should be well-documented, and should reflect command of relevant primary sources in
original languages and knowledge of the current state of research in appropriate areas.
Pedagogical articles report the results of serious research, experimentation, and evaluation.
SEEJ does not publish original
fiction or translations of literary works.
2. Originality

Only original work is considered for publication. Submission to SEEJ represents certification by
the author(s) that neither the manuscript nor any substantially similar version of it is under
consideration or has appeared elsewhere. To simplify the submission process, please include a
copy of the Contributor Questionnaire, which can also be found in the back of recent issues of
SEEJ
3. Membership

Because publication of the journal is supported by the members of AATSEEL, all contributors
must be members of the association at the time they submit their manuscripts. See information
about joining AATSEEL.

2

4. Evaluation

All articles and notes submitted for publication are reviewed anonymously and should be
prepared so that the author's identity is not revealed either in the body of the manuscript or in
bibliographic references. Manuscripts are read by at least two evaluators, who recommend
acceptance or rejection, giving specific reasons for their decision.
5. Recommended length

Submitted articles should be no longer than seven thousand words. The Editor may be asked for
prior approval for manuscripts in excess of this limit. Those interested in submitting review
articles are asked to contact the Review Editor regarding subject matter and length prior to
submission.
6. Language

Because English is the language of the journal, all authors are strongly encouraged to place
translation of original quotations within the text of their manuscripts. The original text, or
references to its source may accompany the text in the form of a note. English glosses must
accompany all examples in linguistic and pedagogical articles. Cyrillic excerpts found on the
notes section may be transliterated, except when the cited text is of four or more lines, in which
case it should be cited in Cyrillic characters. In general, the inclusion of Cyrillic quotes for
original text in the form of a note is encouraged. Transliteration may follow either the US
Library of Congress or International Scholarly System.

7. Manuscript preparation

All manuscripts submitted to SEEJ, including reviews, should be neatly typed with margins of 1
1/2" on all sides; they should be double-spaced throughout, including notes, block quotes, and
list of Works Cited. All notes follow the body of the paper. In matters of style the journal
follows The Chicago Manual of Style and the latest MLA standards (see above). To simplify
the submission process, please include a copy of the Contributor Questionnaire, which can also
be found in the back of recent issues
of SEEJ.
8. Style Sheet for Authors
TRANSLITERATION
When using transliteration please follow the LC system, except for papers in linguistics and
pedagogy, where the international system may be used (see transliteration charts published
regularly in the Journal). Whenever possible, please use transliteration instead of Cyrillic, since
this broadens the potential readership of the journal and is less expensive to set. However, for
poetry, long quotations, and especially when a point can be better made by reference to the
Cyrillic, Cyrillic may certainly be used. For transliterating miagkii znak and tverdyi znak please
use straight quotes and not curly quotes.
3


TRANSLATION
Whenever possible, quotations should be given in English translation. All non-English
quotations must be provided with an English translation. A translation (and conversely the
original wording within an English translation) that is provided within a sentence or paragraph
should be set off in square brackets, e.g. "Kakoi durak! [What a fool!]" (Ivanov 15). "What a
fool [durak]!" (Ivanov 15). "Formidable! [great!]. Note the punctuation and the fact that the
inserted Russian word is italicized (if Cyrillic is inserted, then it need not be italicized). If the
original is given as a block quote, then the translation should also be set as a block quote below
it, but the brackets may be omitted. The reference information for the original should be attached
to the original quote, and a source for the translation should be attached to the translation if the
author of the article is not the translator.

NAMES
When referring to authors and other proper nouns, please use standardized western spellings, i.e.
Gogol, Dostoevsky, Solovyov, Tolstoy. Avoid use of ' for miagkii znak and spellings with ii or
yi, i.e. preferred: Grigoriev, Pietsukh, Gorky, Bezdomny, Vasily, Yury, Maria, Sofia, Fyodor.
However, when listing works of authors in the references, please use the transliterated version of
the name, i.e. Gogol', Dostoevskii, Solov'ev, Vasilii, Iurii, Mariia.

REFERENCES (formerly works cited)
All works mentioned in your article, whether they are quoted from or not, should be listed under
"REFERENCES" alphabetically in a section at the end with full bibliographical information
following the basic MLA style (multiple works by the same author should be listed
chronologically). Please provide a state code for all but the most major US cities (when in doubt
put it in), e.g., Bloomington, IN: Slavica. Indigenous spelling of city names is preferred:
Moskva, Wien. Publisher citations should be abbreviated to, e.g., U of California P, Yale UP,
but other abbreviations that might not be clear to someone not in your field should be avoided.

In the text, references should follow the basic MLA style and be as brief as possible, supplying
only as much information as necessary to locate the work and page using the REFERENCES
section, e.g., (Smith 45, 67), (Pushkin 9: 25), or, for a general reference, then (Smith) or perhaps
nothing, if Smith is already named in the text and there is only one entry for Smith in the
References. For multiple works by the same author, use author, date, page (Smith 1990, 23). If
there are several works by an author in the same year, use: 1990a, 1990b, etc. Multiple
references within a single set of parentheses can be separated by commas, unless commas are
already used within a single reference, e.g. (Smith, Jones, Pushkin), but (Smith 1990, 23; Jones;
Pushkin) or (Smith, Jones and Davis [i.e. three co-authors]; Pushkin).

For the sake of clarity the date of publication may be given, even if, strictly speaking, it is not
necessary. References to major canonical texts, e.g. Eugene Onegin, Crime and Punishment,
Dante's The Divine Comedy, may be given by chapter, stanza, etc., to facilitate the use of
various editions, but at least one edition of the work should always be given in the References.

If there are references to several (more than two) authors' contributions to a multi-author
collection, then each author's contribution may be listed separately in the References, with a
short reference to the collection, which is given elsewhere in the References with full data. E.g.:
Holmes, S. "Major Clues," in Jones and Davis, 23-45.

Archival references should be made in the form used by the given archive, e.g. RGALI f. 235 (I.
I. Ivanov), op. 2, ed. 33, s. 15.
4


Dates intended as information but not as references (e.g. the date of composition or original
publication, when a later edition is being used instead), whether in the text or in references,
should be given in brackets, not in parentheses.

Sample References:
o Jackson, Robert L. "Chekhov's 'The Student'." Reading Chekhov's Text. Ed. Robert L.
Jackson. Evanston, IL: Northwestern UP, 1993. 127-33.
o Pushkin, A. S. Polnoe sobranie sochinenii v desiati tomakh. Moskva: ANSSSR, 1956-
63.
o Smith, John. "Pocahontas in Russian Literature," Slavic Review 34.1 (1977): 35-49.
o Smith, John, Martha Jones and Ivan Ivanov. "The Last of the Slavic Mohicans." Slavic
& East European Journal 55.3 (1999): 102-31.

PAGE NUMBERS
When giving page spreads for references in the text, notes and References, please give the last
two digits of the second number, e.g.: (234-35). Exceptions: 2-9, 203-5 [i.e. when the first digit
would be a zero], 298-304.

BRACKETS AND PARENTHESES
Use square brackets for insertions into a quotation (e.g. of a translation into the original or of the
original into a translation and of any changes made by you, including ellipses). E.g.: "[Ivan] said
[skazal] that he felt [] sick" (Tolstoy 7: 22). Brackets should also be used for insertions of
translations into the body of a text.
Parentheses within parentheses should remain parentheses and not be converted to square
brackets. E.g.: This point was made before (as she previously noted (Davis 1978b, 32)).

PERIOD STYLES
For all literary movement and artistic period names please capitalize the word to distinguish it
from the more general concept, e.g. "Russian Symbolism of the 1890s," but "the author's use of
symbolism." Also: Futurism, Realism, Communism, Marxism, Postmodernism, Romantic,
Sentimental, etc.

DECADES
Time periods such as the "70s," or "1920s" are given without an apostrophe or an extra space
after the year.

CENTURIES
Centuries should be spelled out: nineteenth century, twenty-first century.
Hyphenate when using adjectivally: nineteenth-century authors.

POSSESSIVES
For singular proper nouns ending in s an apostrophe+s should be provided, e.g., "Jones's novel."

QUOTATION MARKS
Periods and commas go to the left of a close quotation mark, unless they are followed by a
reference in parentheses, i.e. "Tolstoy was obsessed with blue hares." But: "Tolstoy was
obsessed with blue hares" (Chekhov 21). Other punctuation will go before the close quotes only
if it is part of the quote.
5


ENGLISH SPELLING
Use standard American spelling of words that might have a British variant, unless they are in a
quotation.

OTHER QUESTIONS
For questions not answered on this Style sheet please consult the Chicago Manual of Style
and/or the MLA Handbook or refer to a recent issue of SEEJ.

http://www.slavicreview.illinois.edu/info/manuscripts.html
SUBMITTING MANUSCRIPTS
Slavic Review is a peer-reviewed journal featuring new scholarship, in any discipline, concerning eastern
and east central Europe, Russia, the Caucasus, and Central Asia, past and present. We seek original and
significant new research that also explores conceptual and analytical themes with potential resonance
across fields and disciplines.

Manuscripts for consideration should be prepared according to the following guidelines:
Submitted by post or courier in two double-spaced copies (when acknowledging your
submission, we will ask you for an electronic copy - sent as a Word document, not a PDF - as
well).
Length: We cannot consider manuscripts longer than 9,000 words of text (excluding footnotes,
which should not exceed 30 percent of the length of the text). Please indicate the word count
(with and without notes) on the cover page of the manuscript.
Anonymity: the text should be prepared without information indicating the identity of the author,
as manuscripts are sent to outside readers in anonymous form-this includes acknowledgment of
your institution, references to your own work (as in see my article..), etc.
A removable cover page should include the authors name and contact information, manuscript
length, and a brief abstract of the paper.
Notes: submitted manuscripts may use either humanities style notes or the author-date-
bibliography system, though accepted articles will need to be revised to conform to Slavic
Review's house style.
Library of Congress transliteration and the Chicago Manual of Style are to be followed.
We cannot consider materials that are being considered for publication elsewhere or have been
published previously, in any language or in any form, including electronic.
Slavic Review is the journal of the Association for Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies.
Membership in ASEEES is required for publication for authors residing in the United States.
Ordinarily, we are able to report back to authors about their submissions within four months.
Submissions will not be returned.
If you have questions, you may contact the editor at slavrev@illinois.edu
Please submit (with a cover letter that includes both your postal and your e-mail contact information) to:
Harriet L. Murav, Editor
Slavic Review
1207 W. Oregon Street
Urbana, IL 61801-3716
USA

CLUSTERS
We welcome thematic clusters of articles on a common topic, as they often have an analytical synergy
that can be very appealing to our wide array of readers. Organizers wishing to propose clusters are
encouraged to read recent thematic clusters published in Slavic Review. In their proposals to the Editor,
7

they should describe the problem, issue, or phenomenon that the cluster articles will examine, explaining
the conceptual and analytical themes to be discussed, and showing their potential resonance across fields
and disciplines.

Because Slavic Review can accommodate no more than seven articles per issue, and we need to leave
space for individual articles that are outside any special topic, thematic clusters generally have no more
than four papers. (We only feature one thematic cluster per issue.) In addition, a possible introduction or
comment highlights the larger interpretive, conceptual, and theoretical issues at stake, including their
potential value outside Slavic studies, and facilitates reading for scholars outside of the particular areas,
topics, and disciplines of the papers-this is, of course, essential for a cross-area and interdisciplinary
journal like Slavic Review.

Each article will be evaluated to see whether it is acceptable for publication on its own merits. Thus all
manuscripts should be prepared according to the standard guidelines above, with a line included in each
submissions cover letter indicating that it is part of a proposed cluster. Because of this dual consideration
of each article both individually and as part of the thematic whole of the cluster, and because we can only
publish four clusters per year, the time to publication can be substantially longer than for standalone
articles.
Before articles are submitted, cluster organizers should send their proposals to the Editor.

PREPARING YOUR FINAL MANUSCRIPT FOR PUBLICATION
We will need a final electronic version (a Word document, not a PDF) and an identical paper copy
(unless the editor advised you that this is not required). Please be sure that the paper copy and the
electronic file match exactly. This final copy should be doubled-spaced, include the article title and your
name as you wish to see it in print at the top, and present all references as footnotes.

Please send the following when you submit your final manuscript (electronic-only is fine):
(1) a 150-word abstract of your essay, including within this text (not as a separate list) the keywords and
thesis of your article. Abstracts will appear in the front of the issue and on our Web page
(http://www.slavicreview.illinois.edu/);
(2) a 50- to 75-word biographical sketch about yourself for our Contributors page. This should
include your rank and affiliation and may also include publications and current research.

Send electronic files as e-mail attachments, or on a CD if very large. If you use a program other than MS
Word, please convert your files to Word documents, or save them in Rich Text Format (RTF). If tables
8

are included, please groups these in a file separate from the text. If images are included (see below) please
submit on a CD.

Very important style and formatting issues to keep in mind:
If you used an in-text citation system (allowable while the manuscript is in review) please
convert these to footnotes following The Chicago Manual of Style.
Please double-check your manuscript to ensure that first names are provided for all individuals
when they are first mentioned.
Dates should have the format October 26, 1879.
For all transliterations, we use the Library of Congress system.
For Russian, please ensure that soft and hard signs are included in both words and names
(excluding final hard signs); for titles or quotations in the old orthography, please make sure that
your usage is consistent throughout (either modernize or transliterate in the old form).
For place-names, we follow Websters (e.g. Moscow, Warsaw, Belgrade). For borderlands,
notably Ukraine, we recognize that conventions are changing: spellings may vary by the language
used in your sources. Consistency within your article is essential, however (if you have questions,
contact the managing editor).
Publishers should not be included in bibliographic information in notes, only place and year of
publication. To avoid confusion, for books published in Cambridge, indicate either Cambridge,
Eng. or Cambridge, Mass.
Archival references need a brief description of the contents (in parentheses) after the first
reference to a specific folder or delo. When appropriate, you may also wish to identify individual
documents. Simply listing numbers is inadequate, as these can change.
Images
If images are an essential component of your article, we are happy to include them. These should be
submitted as TIFF or JPEG files at a minimum resolution of 300 dpi. Do not place image files in your
text document. Submit scans of each image (on a CD, not by e-mail) and printouts of the images with
their captions and source credits. In the text, close to where each image is discussed, be sure to indicate
where each image should appear (e.g., <Figure 1 near here>). It is your responsibility to secure any
needed permissions (for print and electronic publication) and document these to us in writing. Obtaining
proper permissions can take up to a year, so please contact permission holders as early as possible -
ideally, before you first submit your article.

Timing and contact information: We begin editing issues about six months before they are
published. After your article has been copyedited, you will receive it back for review. You will normally
have seven to ten days in which to review and return your article. Approximately one month later,
you will receive page proofs of your article to review as a PDF, again with about seven days to turn these
around. Please plan ahead, so you do not delay publication of an entire issue. When reviewing proofs, you
will be offered the opportunity to order reprints of your article. In any case, we will send you one
complimentary copy of the bound issue in which your article is published, and, if you would like, we can
also provide an electronic copy of the final PDF of your article. Please keep us advised of your schedule
between now and the date of publication, and let us know where you would like us to send the final bound
copy of the issue containing your article.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Faith Wilson Stein, the Managing Editor, at
fstein2@illinois.edu or by phone at (217) 333-3621. We look forward to working with you and to seeing
your article in the pages of Slavic Review. Thank you!

The Russian Review
http://www.russianreview.org/
Contribute To The Russian Review!
All manuscripts, book reviews, letters to the editor, and correspondence concerning submissions should
be directed to the Editor in care of The Russian Review. Manuscripts should be in standard 12-point type,
with one-inch margins, and with all text (including block quotes and endnotes) double-spaced. Please note
that the article should be formatted to produce endnotes, not footnotes. The maximum length for article
submissions is thirty-five double-spaced pages (including endnotes), or nine thousand words; for book
reviews, four hundred fifty words. Review articles should be compact and of no greater length than
required by the works being discussed. Authors should follow The Chicago Manual of Style and the
Library of Congress transliteration system. The Russian Review will consider article submissions in the
Russian language, but if the article is accepted the author should be prepared to have the article
professionally translated into English.
In order to expedite the review process, we request that authors submit their manuscripts electronically
(preferably as an e-mail attachment), along with an abstract of the article. Authors may submit
manuscripts by post, but such hard copies must be accompanied by an electronic version as well (disk,
CD, or flash drive). In most cases submissions will be sent to two referees who are recognized authorities
in the author's field, if possible. The editor bases her judgment on the referee reports, although she is not
bound by them. If revisions are indicated, the editor will try to formulate for the author what is required
and will supply either extensive excerpts or the full text of the referees' comments. Anonymity of both
authors and referees will be maintained. If the editor regards a submission as inappropriate for the journal,
she will inform the author immediately without referees, stating her reasons. Requests for stylistic
changes, more precise evidence, and more carefully formulated judgments are a normal part of the
evaluation and review process that takes place between the editor and author. Once a manuscript has been
accepted, the managing editor will copy-edit for both style and content: the journal will insist upon
adherence to basic style and formatting guidelines based upon The Chicago Manual of Style, particularly
in footnotes, but no changes will be made to the article's prose without the author's consent. Authors will
receive both galley proofs and page proofs of their articles, well before publication, to ensure their
satisfaction with their work as it will appear in print.
We assume that submissions to The Russian Review have not been published previously, are not under
consideration elsewhere, and, if accepted, will not appear in any other format--in whole or in part and in
10

any language--prior to publication in the journal. All material published in The Russian Review is
copyrighted by the journal and its publisher, Wiley Periodicals, Inc. The Russian Review does not publish
unsolicited book reviews. Readers are welcome to volunteer to review a work, but the volunteer will be
considered along with other suitable reviewers, and it is assumed that there is no special association with
the author of the work under review. Any reader who would like to review books or referee article
submissions is invited to inform the editorial office of her or his interests and special areas of expertise.

The Slavic and East European Journal
Guidelines for Reviewers
Return all reviews to:
Prof. John Bartle
Slavic and East European Journal
Hamilton College
Clinton, NY 13323
tel. (315) 859-4779
fax (315) 859-4687
email: jbartle@hamilton.edu
Early submission is welcome! Here are the guidelines as approved by the editors at SEEJ:
1. Word limit for standard book reviews is 1000 WORDS (approx. 4 pages double-spaced).
Reviews of collections of articles may take up to 1200 words. Please save time and trouble by
shortening your review before you submit it.
2. Please submit your review via E-MAIL (as an attachment or pasted into the message text) to
jbartle@hamilton.edu. If you do not have access to e-mail, please contact me directly at 315-859-
4779.
3. Quote the work under review in the text of your review as follows: "a great read" (35).
4. References to other works should give title, year, and publishing house; do not use footnotes.
5. To start your review, give a full bibliographic description of the book under review, e.g.: Ivan
Blowmnosoff, ed. Collective Farms, Collective Allergies. Studies of the Rushing Institute, Vol.
97. Cincinnati: Remainder Publishing, 2003. Appendices. Bibliography. Index. xviii + 534 pp.
$59.95 (cloth); $19.95 (paper). Make sure that ALL necessary bibliographical information is
11

supplied and that all elements are correct. Check Books in Print on books published in the U. S.
or call your local Reference Desk.
6. Transliteration systems: To minimize errors at the printer's , please use Library of Congress
transliteration wherever possible for languages that use the Cyrillic alphabet, and adhere to
common spelling of names that are well known in the west (e.g., Pushkin, Gorky, Tolstaya). You
can find a complete list of transliteration systems in any issue of SEEJ.
7. Give your name and affiliation in italics at the end of the review.
8. To publish in SEEJ, you must be a current member of AATSEEL. See the inside back cover of
the Journal for membership and subscription information,
9. Like most journals, SEEJ must expect authors to prepare final manuscripts (that go to the
printer) with great care and give us a version that is literally "final." The cost of making any
"avoidable" changes after a manuscript has gone to the printer must be passed on to an author.
On first proofs, we are charged $1.25 per correction point (i.e. if you change ten words at the
same point, they are charged as one change); on second proofs, we are charged $2.25 each.
Errors over which an author has no control (e.g., printer's error, an editor's slip, or discovery of
an error in a source you used after the manuscript was completed) will, of course, be corrected
without charge to the author. We ask that you respect the effort that went into the book under
review by striving to be objective in your evaluation. The goal of a review is primarily
informative, focusing mainly on the contributions of the given work. State as clearly as possible
its argument, methodology, strengths and weaknesses, and identify the readership which might
find it of value. The Book Review Editor reserves the right to copy-edit all reviews. If any but
minor editorial changes are made in a review, the reviewer will be given the opportunity to
reexamine the edited version before it is typeset. You will be asked to proofread the typeset
version of your review before it goes to press. The ultimate decision as to whether to publish a
given review belongs to the Editor-in-Chief.

The Slavic Review
Guidelines for Book Reviews
Slavic Review receives annually about twice as many books for review as can be accommodated
in the journal. Selection of books for review is the result of a careful editorial process of
evaluation and examination of the scholarly qualities of books received for review, with attention
paid to geographical and disciplinary balance. Since not all of the books we receive can be
reviewed, we generally favor research monographs that reflect high scholarly standards and
coherent collections of essays, although we will review occasional works of synthesis and
12

primary accounts of special scholarly value. The selection decision is a matter of editorial
judgment, and must be considered final.

The authoritative review of scholarly work is an important element of the journal's mission. For
this reason, it is normally our policy to seek reviewers who have already published one
monograph or the equivalent in refereed articles. Slavic Review does not ordinarily accept
unsolicited book reviews. Please consult us if you would like to propose a book for review or a
review essay.
Books for review may be sent to:

Editor
Slavic Review
1207 W. Oregon Street
Urbana, IL 61801-3716
USA

Given the volume of books received, it is not possible to return materials submitted by
publishers: books not selected for review are listed at the end of the book review section as
"Books Received." For reviews we have commissioned, authors guidelines are below (see
"Reminders for Book Reviewers").
Note on Featured Reviews
Along with review essays on multiple related books, featured reviews will highlight books that
the editor, in consultation with the editorial board, has identified as likely to be of interest to a
wide range of our readers across geographic and disciplinary boundaries. These might be books
seen to have particular theoretical, methodological, or comparative importance or scholarly
books that are stimulating interest and argument outside academia by engaging controversial
questions of public concern. At 1,000 to 1,500 words, featured reviews will be longer than our
regular reviews of monographs, which are normally 500-750 words. We welcome readers
responses, including from the authors whose work is the subject of the essay. Authors responses
will be printed in the journal. Readers discussions will appear in the discussion section of this
website.
Reminders for Book Reviewers
Please return your review as soon as you can, within the limits imposed by a careful and
discriminating reading; the need for a fair and serious reading is fundamental.
Unless otherwise stipulated, please confine your review to 500-750 words, including only a brief
summary of the book's contents.
13

State as clearly as possible the book's interpretation, methodology, and style, its strengths and
weaknesses. If possible, please recommend a specific readership.
o Style of composition should be governed by the Chicago Manual of Style.
o Transliteration should follow the Library of Congress system.
o Please include the first and last name of any person the first time mentioned.
o Do not include footnotes. If you must cite another work, do so by including a reference
(author, title, and year of publication) in parentheses.
o Quotations from the book under review should include a page number.
o Please use italics rather than underlining.
o Your name and affiliation should appear at the end of the review.
Please adapt the following model to the book you are reviewing:
A History of Private Life. Ed. (or By) Philippe Aris and Georges Duby. Vol. 5, Riddles of
Identity in Modern Times, eds. Antoine Prost and Grard Vincent, trans. Arthur Goldhammer.
Cambridge: Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 1991. vi, 630 pp. Appendix. Notes.
Bibliography. Chronology. Glossary. Index. Illustrations. Plates. Photographs. Figures. Tables.
Maps. $39.95, hard bound. (If there is no price, capitalize the binding: Paper.)

Your review will be edited electronically. Please your review as an attachment (as a Word
document, not a PDF). Please note that we cannot accept fax transmissions.

Before your edited review is sent to the compositor, you will be sent a pre-proof copy to review
for typographical mistakes and errors introduced during editing. We will need to have these pre-
proofs returned very quickly, so please keep us informed of your coordinates during the next six
months.

All of us at Slavic Review appreciate your contribution and your service to the profession. Thank
you for agreeing to write this review. For further information, you may write to us at
slavrev@illinois.edu.
