Submissions for Publication on the African-Americansand South Carolina Web Page

We invite scholars to submit entries for publication on this page.You can see from our subject index a wide rangeof entries we want to create. You can also suggest new entries. For example,we hope to eventually have entries of people who have local significance,listed by their geographical area, e.g. Greenwood.

All submissions will undergo review by an editorial board, whosemembers are professionals in the social sciences and humanities. The editorsreserve the right to reject any article that falls short of scholarly standards,to edit the article for length and clarity, and to create internal linksto other related entries. Submissions may be either descriptive and/orinterpretive in nature. They should meet the following standards:

• either on diskette in Microsoft Word or Wordperfect or ASCII text,or as an e-mail attachment in similar format
• written in a style that is accessible to a general audience
• length may vary depending on the item or subject, but generally,shorter is better--judge by the length of existing entries
• List all sources used at the end under "Sources," e.g.Newby, I.A. Black Carolinians: A History of Blacks in South Carolinafrom 1895 to 1968. Columbia: University of South Carolina Press, 1973.Also see existing entries as models. However, in the original submission,the precise reference must be parenthetically included in the text so thatreviewers may check sources, as they feel necessary. For example: (Newby55) for a reference on page 55 from Newby. After an entry is accepted,the editors will remove the parenthetical references for readability (exceptthose involving direct quotations) as part of the preparation for attachmentto the Web page.
• The submitting author must obtain copyright permission for any outsidematerial quoted or graphics used that may be under copyright protectionor does not fall under "fair use" and include a written statementof permission with the submission clearly indicating whether the copyrightholder grants permission that these materials may be reproduced for non-profiteducational purposes or whether permission is limited to only viewing thematerial.
• complete name, address, affiliation, and e-mail address of the author,so that we may contact you and credit you at the end of the entry
