SUBMISSIONS
The Journal of Appalachian Studies considers serious multi-disciplinary scholarship from scholars, teachers, activists, and others whose work focuses on the Appalachian region. Submissions must be written in a style that can be understood by intelligent non-specialists.
Submit an electronic Word file along with two copies of your manuscript on standard 8-1/2” x 11” (letter size) paper, one-sided and double-spaced, in Times New Roman, 12 point font. Please follow the word count limits below:
- Articles: should be between 5,000 - 8,000 words (approximately 32 pages) including notes, citations, and references.

Submitted manuscripts need not follow the Journal’s format for references, notes, etc.; however, once accepted for publication, manuscripts must be typed according to the Journal’s specifications.
