Scholars thinking of writing about Adam Smith often want to know what a specialist journal expects. Here is a summary of the guidelines in the archive.

What is accepted

Work from any theoretical, disciplinary or interdisciplinary approach is welcome. Articles are limited to 10,000 words and must be in English. Authors should make arguments accessible to a broad, multidisciplinary readership without lowering scholarly standards.

Conditions

Sending a paper implies that it is original, unpublished and not under consideration elsewhere.

Refereeing

Interdisciplinary articles go to referees from different fields. Submitted articles are double-blind refereed, while commissioned pieces are single-blind refereed by editorial board members.

Other contributions

The Review also welcomes proposals to translate significant non-English works on Smith into English, and offers to edit symposia.

Formatting

Papers may be sent in any format, but accepted ones must follow the journal’s author guidelines. Because the archive is dated, current requirements and contact details should be confirmed with the publisher.
