Dance Research Journal (DRJ), published twice yearly by the Congress on Research in Dance (CORD), carries scholarly articles, book reviews, a list of books and journals received, and reports of scholarly conferences, archives, and other projects of interest to the field. Contributions for publication consideration are open to both members and nonmembers of CORD, and will be accepted at any time. Views expressed in DRJ are the authors' and not necessarily those of the editors, CORD, or CORD officers.
_____________________________________________ ARTICLES: Manuscripts should be submitted to the DRJ Editor. DRJ is a refereed journal, using a blind review process. Article manuscripts must be accompanied by written assurance that they have not been published, submitted, or accepted for publication elsewhere. They will not be returned unless accompanied by return postage. Manuscripts should contribute original material. They may be discussions of historical or contemporary dance, theory and methods, critical syntheses, or evaluation of the state of knowledge or methods in the different disciplines of dance research. The Editor and at least two outside readers evaluate articles. The review process is completed as quickly as possible, and every attempt is made to notify authors regarding acceptance within three months. The Editor reserves the right to reject or return for revision any material on the grounds of inappropriate subject matter, quality, or length. Authors must prepare manuscripts for blind review by putting their name on a separate title page only, and by submitting three clear copies of the manuscript. The entire manuscript, including notes and works cited should be double-spaced. Notes and bibliographies, should follow the Chicago Manual of Style 14th ed. (author-date citation system). Please consult the Editorial Office for a printed list of guidelines. Illustrative materials, such as tables, maps, and graphic notation should be done in black ink and should be camera-ready copy. Photographs should have a glossy finish, and authors must obtain permission to publish them if taken by individuals other than themselves. All manuscripts must be accompanied by an abstract of 50 to 100 words and biographical information of eight to ten lines that includes current evidence of expertise in the topic of the article. REVIEWS: Book and media reviews are assigned by the Reviews Editor, but individuals wishing to review a particular book may submit an inquiry to the Reviews Editor. Reviews in the current issue are the best guide to correct format. The heading should include name of author(s) or editor(s), book title (italicized), place of publication, name of publisher, year of publication, number of pages, cloth or paperbound, and price. Reviews should be scholarly in orientation, and approximately 1200 to 1500 words in length. A parallel format should be used for film and other material. REPORTS: Reports are assigned by the Editor, but individuals wishing to submit a report on a particular conference, activity, or country are encouraged to submit an inquiry to the Editor. Reports should include what, where, when, who, and how, and should specify the relevance of the activity to dance research. Related literature should be cited, if relevant. FINAL MANUSCRIPT APPROVAL: Authors of articles will be consulted before finalization of editorial decisions. Page proofs will be sent during the printing process and should be examined by authors and returned within the specified time. COPYRIGHT: DRJ publishes previously unpublished original research. CORD copyrights each issue of the journal as a collective work; individual authors retain rights to their individual works. Authors of individual works published in CORD have the right to republish their own work in whole or in part, and in identical or modified form. As the original publisher, CORD requests a letter to the Chair of the CORD Editorial Board notifying of any republication. All republications, in whatever form, must be credited with one of the following statements: This article was
originally published in Dance Research Journal, vol. (number), no.
(number), (date). Complimentary Copies: Contributors of major articles will receive three complimentary copies of the issue in which their article was published; authors of reviews and reports will receive two complimentary copies.
