Before you submit, check that your paper has the following:
- Title
- Abstract (150-300 words)
- Minimum of 1,000 words (maximum 5,000 words)
- Chicago Style Citations with footnotes
- Common use images located at the end of the paper (if used)
- Word .doc format (.docx)
- Have you proofread it? Have you had a friend proof read it?
Things to Keep in Mind:
- All ancient sources should not just be “AncientAuthorName, Reference” they should include the translator & the edition etc (all the information for that version of the translation)
- Ensure that the source is not outdated, or includes information that has since been disproven.
- Pictures need to be properly copyrighted. Check out http://copyright.ubc.ca/ for more information.
- Make sure all the entries are consistent.
- Please note the differences between the footnote style and the bibliography style.
- Make sure all papers have FOOTNOTES and a BIBLIOGRAPHY (not one or the other).
- LOGOS uses the CHICAGO style – for more examples please go to: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/717/1/
