Author Guidelines
If you wish to submit an essay to AMERICANA, please follow the steps below.
Before submitting a review, please read the guidelines. Please note that our journal does not accept texts generated by artificial intelligence software and reserves the right to halt publication or take down already published material if such a case is proven.
Register to the journal's site and submit your abstract, keywords and essay with the necessary information.
The essay should be in .doc or .docx format.
The format of the essay should confirm to a couple of rules: it should use 12 pt fonts for the body of the text; quotations longer than three lines should be organized into block quotes (indenting 2 cms from left and right) and should be set to 10pt; should be single-spaced, with alignment set justified, without indenting the first lines of the paragraphs, and with an empty line between paragraphs; referencing: parenthetical references (Author page). Footnotes should be used only when they are absolutely necessary - if there is a way, avoid them. If you want to include images, please indicate their exact place in the text, and send them separately. At the end of the essay include a "Works Cited" section listing the material you referred to in the paper. The format of a book reference should be: Family Name, First Name. Date of publication. The Title of the Book. Place of publication: Publisher.
Once the double blind review phase is finished, the editor will e-mail you the reviewer's/reviewers' comments and suggestions. You will then be asked to revise your essay if necessary. Then you can send the revised essay to the editor, but this time with your name appearing as the author of the text.
