Welsh History Review On Line Catchword/Ingenta

Since its inception in 1960 as one of the journals of the University of Wales Board of Celtic Studies, the Welsh History Review has become firmly established as the most authoritative journal in its field. It is an invaluable medium for publishing the fruits of the steady upsurge of interest in the history of Wales in schools, colleges, universities and the media over the past thirty years. Both its readership and its contributors are truly international, including geographers, economists, philologists, sociologists, archaeologists and demographers as well as historians. Every issue includes articles on varying aspects of Welsh history, a large array of book reviews, obituaries and other special features where relevant. Each year a full checklist of publications relating to the history of Wales is given.

Notes for contributors of articles and reviews

Preparation of typescripts
Articles submitted should be typed using double spacing on one side of A4 paper with wide margins, unjustified on the right. Pages should be numbered throughout consecutively.

Preparation of typescripts on disk
Once a paper has been accepted for publication it may be sent to the relevant editor in disk form, provided that a hard copy/printout of the full up-to-date text has also been submitted. Authors should retain a backup copy of both disk and printout of their papers. Please consult UWP about preparation of disks.

Footnotes
These should not exceed an average maximum of 25 per cent of the printed page. They too should be supplied in double-spacing and separately from the text, at the end of the article, and they should be numbered consecutively.

Tables, maps and diagrams
These will appear within the printed page but should be provided on a separate page in the typescript and their position indicated by a marginal note in the text. Complicated diagrams should as far as possible be submitted in camera-ready form, but the editors should be consulted in case of difficulty. References in the text to illustrative material should take the form ‘Table 1’ etc. for tables and ‘Figure 1’ etc. for other forms of illustration, not ‘in the following diagram’ since there is no guarantee that pagination will allow this precise positioning.

Style of text
(See also UWP: ‘Guidelines for presentation of texts for publication’.)
Quotations within running text should be in single quote marks (double for quotes within quotes). Quotations of more than fifty words should be indented without quotation marks and with a line space before and after.

Underline words which are to appear in italic. Single words or short phrases in languages other than English should be in italic, but quotations in another language should not.

Dates should be expressed as 1 January 1996; the 1990s; the fourteenth century (but ‘a fourteenth-century manuscript’); 1888–9; 1914–18 (not 1914–8). Numbers up to ninety-nine should be spelt out in full except in a list of statistics or in percentages (e.g. 25 per cent).

Use-ize endings when given as an alternative to -ise.

Capitalization should be kept to a minimum in the text; for titles, initial capitals should only be used when attached to a personal name (thus King Henry V, Bishop William Morgan, but ‘the king of England’, ‘the bishop of St Asaph’ etc.).

References
References in the footnotes should he given in the following format (not in the Harvard system):

Books: D. W. Howell, Patriarchs and Parasites: The Gentry of South-West Wales in the Eighteenth Century (Cardiff, 1986), p. 320.
Articles in an edited volume: G. Williams, ‘Local and national history in Wales’, in D. H. Owen (ed.), Settlement and Society in Wales (Cardiff, 1989), pp 7–26. (Note the use of lower case for all initial letters except the first in the article title.)
Articles in a journal: F. O’Gorman, ‘The politics of deference’, Journal of Modern History, VI (1984), 407; U. Henriques, ‘The Jewish community of Cardiff, 1813–1914’, ante, 14 (2) (1988), 269–300 (for references to previous issues of Welsh History Review).
Unpublished theses: G. A. Plume, ‘The enclosure movement in Caernarvonshire with special reference to the Porth yr Aur papers’ (unpublished MA thesis, University of Wales, 1935), 63.
Manuscripts: National Library of Wales, Ellis papers, 1698, 1699 University College of North Wales, Lloyd Papers, MS 314, no. 592.
For authorities and locations to which continual reference is made, an abbreviated form can be established on the first occurrence by the use of square brackets, e.g. L[etters] and P[apers of Henry VIII].
On the second or subsequent occurrences of a reference, a short form of the title may be used e.g. Howell, Patriarchs and Parasites; Henriques, ‘The Jewish community’.
