Author Guidelines

  • Articles should be approximately 6,000 words and should follow the current edition of the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers or The MLA Style Manual. See any recent issue of ARIEL
  • All articles are subject to anonymous refereeing (authorship unattributed and readers unidentified); consequently, names of contributors should appear only on the title page of the manuscripts and not as a running head on each page. Articles are read by at least two readers.
  • Articles may be submitted by attachment (Word or rich text  format [rtf]). Alternatively, two copies of each may be submitted in print form. If you submit an article in e-file, ARIEL assumes that you consent to its circulation to readers as an e-file.
  • The editors require assurance that authors are not offering their articles concurrently elsewhere.
  • Manuscripts are returned only when accompanied with self-addressed envelopes and Canadian stamps or International Reply Coupons.
  • Translations should be provided for citations in languages other than French.
  • The editors reserve the right to amend phrasing and punctuation in articles and reviews accepted for publication.
  • While every care is taken in the handling of manuscripts, the editors will assume no responsibility in the rare event of their loss.
  • Please provide us with your telephone and fax numbers and your e-mail address.
