How to Submit a Paper

  1. Make sure your paper is in an acceptable format. We can accept papers in Microsoft Word, Rich Text Format (RTF), or Adobe Acrobat (PDF).
    OPTION 1: If you use a word-processing program other than Microsoft Word, look for an "export" or "save as" option in your program to save it as an RTF file. If you have questions, please contact LEGUIN@HUMNET.UCLA.EDU.
    OPTION 2: We can convert files from some programs into an acceptable format. Please contact LEGUIN@HUMNET.UCLA.EDU.
  2. Write an abstract for your paper. It should not be longer than 250 words. Please also select keywords. These are words that will help a user locate your paper through a search.
  3. Submit the paper by emailing it to LEGUIN@HUMNET.UCLA.EDU. Include in an email message the following things: abstract; keywords; and name, affiliation (department and university), and email address for each author.
  4. If you have any questions, contact LEGUIN@HUMNET.UCLA.EDU.

Overview of the Process

After you submit your paper, we will create an Adobe Acrobat (PDF) version of the paper. We will then send you a message asking you to approve the PDF version. Please look it over within 5 days and reply to LEGUIN@HUMNET.UCLA.EDU as soon as possible. At this stage, we're unable to make any changes beyond the truly necessary. You will be notified by e-mail when the paper is posted.
