Contributions to the PSR are invited from all disciplines, as long as they match the Review's core orientation (see • here •). Particularly welcome are the fields of history, geography, economics, economic history, political science, international relations, sociology, policy studies, anthropology, ethnography and folklore, archaeology, cultural studies, and cultural and natural heritage conservation. The PSR will also accommodate related discussions of methodology and critical theory. The Review is committed to methodological pluralism: no combination of disciplines and approaches will be turned away on principle, as long as it proves to be effective and rigorous.

Manuscripts cannot be submitted to another journal or publication while under review by the PSR.

A Quick Submission Checklist for a last check of essential manuscript requirements is available HERE.

Authors should submit 2 copies of their manuscript, typed or laser- or ink-jet printed (dot-matrix printouts cannot be accepted), on one side only of opaque white paper, size 8.5" x 11" or A4 (21 x 29.7 cm) (or closest equivalent). Manuscripts should ideally not exceed 8,000 words, exclusive of notes, tables, and graphics. The text should be presented in minimum 11-point size (using the same font throughout the text), single-spaced, with 1.5" margins (3 cm), with automatic hyphenation switched off, and no special macros unless approved by the Editors. In all matters of spelling, punctuation, abbreviations, etc., manuscripts should conform to the latest edition of the Chicago Manual of Style, or to appropriate Portuguese, French, and Spanish manuals of style, and should respect our note style, shown in the full Guidelines for Authors. No bibliography is required.

All manuscripts should include a 150-word abstract (articles in Portuguese, French, and Spanish should include an abstract both in the language of the paper and in English). To facilitate the double-blind peer review, authors are asked to include a separate cover page with their name, address, telephone number(s), fax number, and e-mail address. Any acknowledgments should be included on this cover page, or on a separate sheet. Within the body of the manuscript itself, no name or other identifying elements should appear.

Submissions must be accompanied by 3.5" diskette with the text of the manuscript in WordPerfect or MS Word, or as an RTF file. The files should be preferably in IBM-compatible format. Authors will be asked to resubmit files formatted for Macintosh, if they happen to convert poorly to IBM. Files may also be sent as e-mail attachments, or FTP'd to our server, but the Editors urge you to contact them first. The PSR cannot accept submisisons that arrive as e-mail only, without fulfilling all the other submission requirements.

For all other style sheet matters and technical requirements, and for complete illustration specifications, see the full text of the Guidelines for Authors. These are available both in HTML [English] [Portuguese] and in a printer-friendly PDF (Adobe Acrobat) format (• here • [English] and • here • [Portuguese]).
