Author Guidelines
Submissions
We encourage past contributors to continue submitting pieces in the genres that have characterized The Trumpeter since its inception, and we encourage both past and new contributors to submit work that will allow us to represent a wide range of approaches, perspectives, insights, and methodologies. We also continue to encourage submissions of narrative articles, poetry, and art, and we remain on the lookout for genuinely creative and innovative pieces.
All journal articles received for publication will be submitted to a blind peer-review process. Narratives, opinion pieces, artwork, book reviews, and other non-peer reviewed materials will be adjudicated by the editor. Poetry submissions will be reviewed by our poetry editor and accepted or rejected on that basis. Generally, we do not publish material that has been previously published, however, if the editor believes an article, which has received limited previous exposure, is important to the Deep Ecology movement, we will make exceptions.
Submission Policy and Criteria
Please submit articles to the editor as e-mail attachments, using Word or RTF formats. If this is not possible, contact the editor or managing editor to make alternative arrangements. Authors using Macintosh systems are required to translate files into Word or RTF formats before submitting.
Documentation
Please use standard academic referencing in the humanities. A reference list containing all the works cited in the article (and only the works cited) should be included at the end of the article. Use the Chicago Manual of Style author-date format for the reference list.
Use the endnote function for all notes. For in-text citations, use the author-date system with endnotes. Please refer to a recent issue of The Trumpeter for samples of correct citation and referencing. Ensure that all references and bibliographical materials are correct.
Style
The Trumpeter makes extensive use of commas to avoid ambiguity (e.g., use commas to mark subordinate clauses and parenthetical phrases, along with other standard uses).
Unnecessary formatting, hyperbole, polemics, and the like are discouraged. The use of dashes and emphasis markers (underlining, italics, bold face) should be kept to a minimum. Avoid extensive use of quotation marks to suggest irony or special usage. The text and context of the writing should make clear what is important.
Although we invite pieces that may require technical language, technical terminology and jargon should be used only where needed and, in those cases, explained as clearly as possible for an intelligent lay audience.
Use the following formatting techniques:
double-space using 12 pt type;
number pages starting with the first text page;
use double quotes to mark concepts, terms, titles of articles, and direct quotations;
use single quotes to mark quotations within quotations and scare quotes;
direct quotation of more than 40 words should be set off in separate, indented paragraphs;
italicize book and journal titles and foreign words;
align left: avoid the use of justification commands.
Pictures (photographs, line art, or scans) may be included provided they are clear, in focus, relevant to the material, and free of copyright restrictions.
The Trumpeter uses the Canadian Oxford Dictionary to determine spelling, capitalization, correct use, and hyphenation.
Include, in a brief biographical note, information about you that is pertinent to the article and the Deep Ecology community and, if you wish, a conventional or electronic address. See a recent issue for examples.
