Summary: please note that the maximum length for the summary is 100 words.

Length: articles should not normally exceed 12,000 words, including footnotes; notes and comments should not exceed 2,500 words. Authors should inform the Editors of the exact length of articles and comments.

Subsections: major articles should be divided into subsections designated with roman numerals (I, II, III, etc.), but without subtitles.

Tables, graphs, and maps: Sources for these should always be provided, using the same conventions for source references as in footnotes. The position which they are to occupy in the text should be indicated. For references to notes in tables use a, b, c, etc.

Years: use 1801–4 when from 1801 to 1804 is meant; use 1801/2 when a calendar year (or part thereof) occurring over two adjacent years is meant.

Countries: Use United States rather than America(n) wherever there is any possibility of ambiguity. Be accurate and specific in the use of England, Great Britain, United Kingdom, Holland, European Union (and EU-12, EU-15, etc.), European Community, and European Economic Community. Avoid using the British Isles. 

Consolidated reference list: A consolidated alphabetical list of all books, articles, essays, and theses referred to (including any referred to in the tables, graphs, and maps) should be provided. If primary texts are not specifically cited then they do not need to be added to the reference list. The reference list should only include the items which are directly cited in the text. Newspapers and manuscripts (including ‘working papers’, ‘research papers’, etc.) should not be listed. Any official publications should be listed at the end, in chronological order, under the separate heading Official publications. 
References to volume numbers of books and journals are given in roman or arabic as in the original source (thus, when referring to this journal up to 2006 or to the English Historical Review, use roman numerals; for most other journals use arabic numerals). In the case of articles or contributions to collections of essays, it is essential to give complete page references.
Books: place of publication to be given in all cases except London. 
Articles: give pan numbers only for journals which paginate each issue from 1 (e.g. History Today, Business History). Do not abbreviate the journal titles. Give complete page references.
Official papers: Parliamentary Papers are always abbreviated as P.P. Give full title, year of publication, volume number.
Please see full version of style notes for examples.

References in Articles: There are several software packages available to help authors manage and format the references and footnotes in their journal article. We recommend the use of a software tool such as EndNote or Reference Manager for reference management and formatting.
EndNote reference styles can be searched for here:

Reference Manager reference styles can be searched for here:

Footnotes: Footnotes should be confined, as far as possible, to necessary references. Create endnotes using the footnotes and endnotes options, not as a list with superscript figures typed into the document. In the footnotes, books, articles, essays, theses, and official publications should be referred to in abbreviated form, with the precise page reference (unless the reference is to the entire publication; in this case no pagination should be provided). ‘Op. cit.’ and ‘loc. cit.’ should not be used. Short titles should be capable of standing alone (i.e. they should not be computer-generated from the first words of the title) and similar titles by an individual author should be clearly distinguished.  Please see full version of style notes for examples.

Copyright: Authors will be required to assign copyright to the Economic History Society. Copyright assignment is a condition of publication and papers will not be passed to the publisher for production unless copyright has been assigned. To assist authors an appropriate copyright assignment form will be supplied by the editorial office and is also available on the journal’s website at
http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/pdf/EHR_CAF.pdf. Government employees in both the US and the UK need to complete the Author Warranty sections, although copyright in such cases does not need to be assigned.

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. The author will receive an e-mail with a unique link that enables them to register and have their article automatically added to the system. Please ensure that a complete e-mail address is provided when submitting the manuscript. Visit www.blackwellpublishing.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.              

The Later Stages: Once an author has revised a piece in line will these Notes, it is worked on by the journal's copy- editor and the Editors. Before it is typeset, final queries on the article will be sent from the copyeditor. This is the last stage at which any changes proposed by the author will be considered. After typesetting, proofs are circulated to the author, the Editors, and the copy-editor.  The corresponding author will receive an email alert containing a link to a web site. A working e-mail address must therefore be provided for the corresponding author. The proof can be downloaded as a PDF (portable document format) file from this site. Acrobat Reader will be required in order to read this file. This software can be downloaded (free of charge) from the following web site:
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html.
This will enable the file to be opened, read on screen and printed out in order for any corrections to be added. Further instructions will be sent with the proof. Hard copy proofs will be posted if no e-mail address is available. Excessive changes made by the author in the proofs, excluding typesetting errors, will be charged separately.

Supporting Information
EHR is happy to accept articles with supporting information supplied for online only publication. This may include appendices, supplementary figures, sound files, videoclips etc. These will be posted on Wiley Interscience with the article. The print version will have a note indicating that extra material is available online. Please indicate clearly on submission which material is for online only publication. Please note that extra online only material is published as supplied by the author in the same file format and is not copyedited or typeset. Further information about this service can be found at http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/bauthor/suppmat.asp

Early View: The Economic History Review is covered by the Early View service on Wiley Interscience. Early View articles are complete full-text articles published online in advance of their publication in a printed issue. Articles are therefore available as soon as they are ready, rather than having to wait for the next scheduled print issue. Early View articles are complete and final. They have been fully reviewed, revised and edited for publication, and the authors’ final corrections have been incorporated. Because they are in final form, no changes can be made after online publication. The nature of Early View articles means that they do not yet have volume, issue or page numbers, so they cannot be cited in the traditional way. They are therefore given a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), which allows the article to be cited and tracked before it is allocated to an issue. After print publication, the DOI remains valid and can continue to be used to cite and access the article.
