Journal of Religious Ethics

Author Guidelines

Manuscripts should be submitted online at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jrethics. Full instructions and support are available on the site and a user ID and password can be obtained on the first visit. Support can be contacted by phone (+1 434 817 2040 ext. 167) on weekdays between 3:00 a.m.–8:30 p.m.

EST, or at  http://mcv3support.custhelp.com. If you cannot submit online, please contact the journal's editorial office by email (jre@admin.fsu.edu).

Manuscripts must represent original work that has not been previously published in any print or electronic medium. If the copyright to any previous version of the essay is held by any publisher, professional association, agency, or person other than the author, that fact should be brought to the attention of the editor when the essay is submitted. If any material copyrighted by another author or agency is extensively quoted or included in the manuscript (for example, a prose excerpt of more than 300 words from a published work, a poem, or a statistical table), it will be the author's responsibility to secure permission to republish the copyrighted material if the manuscript is selected for publication in the Journal of Religious Ethics. Manuscripts sent to the Journal of Religious Ethics should not be simultaneously under consideration by another publisher.

The Journal of Religious Ethics prefers essays under 10,000 words.  Because of space limitations, manuscripts exceeding 10,000 words (including text, references, tables and figures) will be considered only if authors provide adequate justification for the length.

Because the JRE review process is blind — referees are not supposed to know the identity of the author — authors must avoid writing their submissions (including notes) in a way that discloses their identity.

All submissions must also include an abstract of no longer than 140 words.

The JRE style guide may be requested from the journal's editorial office (jre@admin.fsu.edu).

Online production tracking is now available for articles through Wiley-Blackwell’s Author Services.

Author Services enables authors to track their article - once it has been accepted — through the production process to publication online and in print. Authors can check the status of their articles online and choose to receive automated e-mails at key stages of production so they don’t need to contact the production editor to check on progress.

Visit http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor for more details on online production tracking and for a wealth of resources including FAQs and tips on article preparation, submission, and more.
