PLEASE NOTE: Cultural Studies Review has now been archived and is not accepting new submissions.
1. References: endnotes and bibliography
Cultural Studies Review uses the documentary-note form of referencing, with a bibliography of works cited, as outlined below.
Please do not use the author–date form (the Harvard system). Notes must be presented as endnotes, not footnotes. Use the insert footnote window in Word to select endnotes or to convert footnotes to endnotes. Endnote reference numbers should appear at the end of a quotation, and wherever possible at the end of a sentence to avoid interrupting the flow of text. Numbers (arabic not roman numerals)should fall after all punctuation marks. Avoid including endnotes in headings and subheadings.

If two or more works by the same author are referred to in the text, include short titles in subsequent citations. Do not use ‘ibid.’ or ‘op. cit.’ In reviews, references to the book/s under review should be made in the body of the text using parentheses and the page number (no use of p. or pp.):
‘After this occurred they planned to leave it for one day.’ (26–7)
Bibliography
Include a bibliography of all works cited at the end of the article. Please provide all available DOIs (Digital Object Identifiers) to each source used as a reference. For assistance on locating the DOIs, please go to the free service http://www.crossref.org/SimpleTextQuery to retrieve all available DOIs to add to the references. Entries should follow the same format as the endnotes, except for the author name, which should be listed by surname and initials and should not include page numbers, except for journal articles which should include the article's full page range. For example:
Chakrabarty, D., ‘Universalism and Belonging in the Logic of Capital’, Public Culture, vol. 12, no. 3, 2000, pp. 653–78.

2. Spelling
Australian spelling as given in The Macquarie Dictionary 4th edition should be used. If not
found in The Macquarie Dictionary use the Australian Oxford Dictionary. For verbs ending
in -ise or -ize, the -ise form is preferred. Since abbreviations increase the possibility of
confusion and misunderstanding, they should only be used with caution. In general, their
use should be confined to endnotes.
3. Quotations
Quotations of more than forty words should be indented. Indented quotes do not require opening and closing quotation marks, nor do they require extra line spaces above or below the set quotation. A quotation within an indented quote should be enclosed in single quotation arks; if further quotation occurs within that, use double quotation marks. Short quotations (not more than about forty words of prose or two complete lines of verse) should be enclosed in single quotation marks and may appear within the text. If no more than two complete lines of verse are quoted but the quotation includes a line division, this should be marked with a spaced upright stroke (|). For a quotation within a quotation, double quotation marks should be used: ‘It is only when she deploys the term “race” that this occurs.’
Quotation marks should go inside the final full point if there is any authorial comment within the sentence; that is, the full point belongs to the author as part of his/her sentence. If the quote begins within a sentence containing authorial comment but runs to more than one sentence, it is acceptable to place the closing quotation after the final full point. This is also the case when a sentence consists entirely of quoted material, as the full point belongs to the quotation.
4. Dates and numbers
Avoid any unnecessary punctuation:
18 August 2002, not 18 August, 2001 or August 18th, 2001; 1990s, not 1990’s
Use numerals for dates: He enrolled at St Johns in 1912.
In references to centuries the ordinal should be spelled out: the sixteenth century, not the 16th century; and sixteenth-century drama.
Numbers up to ninety-nine, including ordinals, should be written in words when the context
is not statistical. Numbers at the beginning of sentences and approximate numbers should
be expressed in words, as should ‘hundred’, ‘thousand’, ‘million’, ‘billion’, etc., if they appear
as whole numbers: Two-and-a-half days went by; The fire destroyed about five thousand
books; Two hundred and forty-seven pages were written.
For spans of numbers use an en rule, not a hyphen (Mac keyboard command: option +
hyphen): 1990–92; 1902–3; (345–54); pp. 45–7.
5. Formatting
Use italics for all titles and emphases, not bold or underline:
This was the very first time it had occurred.
Use an un-spaced em rule for the dash—not hyphens. Close up the space on either side of
the em rule.
She went further than this—specifying that it was ...
Ellipsis points consist of three full stops only (...), even if they appear at the end of the
sentence. Leave one space before and after the ellipsis:
‘It wasn’t always the case ... and it was far more frequent than he had anticipated’.
6. Book reviews
For book reviews please provide the following information: your own short title for the piece; the title and author of the book being reviewed; publisher, place of publication, date of
publication; ISBN or ISSN and recommended retail price, indicating if the price is in a foreign currency, and whether the price refers to a hardback or paperback edition.
7. Illustrations
Please check with the managing editor if you intend to include images with your submission. Every illustration must have a caption, which explains or gives more information about the illustration, and identifies the source. All images should be clearly labelled and numbered consecutively as they appear in the text. Proof of copyright clearance is necessary for reproduction of copyrighted material. Any costs involved in obtaining images or permission to reproduce them is the responsibility of the author.
