Authors will be notified of submission deadlines during the invitation and confirmation process for each special issue.

Authors should adhere to the following guidelines:

1. Articles should be fewer than 15,000 words.
2. Papers should be formatted with Times New Roman 12 point type, with one inch margins.
3. References should be cited in footnotes.
4. Citation of references should conform to The Bluebook: a Uniform System of Citation.
5. Authors who reuse text and visuals from other publications must acquire the appropriate copyright permission. For other inquiries regarding graphics or illustrations, contact the Journal at sglpjeditor@olemiss.edu.

Articles will be circulated to at least two, outside peer reviewers identified by the symposium planning committee. Authors will be given the opportunity to respond to reviewer comments and revise their papers as appropriate.
