Call for Papers

PIPA invites submission of articles in all fields that fall within the scope of philology, including studies in language, literature, linguistics, and theory, and pedagogy in all of these fields. PIPA accepts and encourages submissions from college and university faculty, independent scholars, and graduate and undergraduate students. Because the IPA is a regional organization, in considering submissions, PIPA will give preference to authors from Illinois and the immediately surrounding states (Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Kentucky), though authors from other regions and parts of the world are invited to submit their work as well. However, while authors from Illinois and the surrounding states may freely submit their work, the Executive Board of the IPA has decided that authors from outside the region must become dues-paying members of the IPA before their work will appear in PIPA. In this way, the IPA hopes to use PIPA to promote philological scholarship particularly within the Illinois region. Please see the IPA homepage for further information about membership.

Currently, PIPA is conceived by the Association as a semiannual, with one issue, published in the fall, devoted to papers from the annual conference, which is held in April; the second issue will be published when the editor has received a sufficient body of articles; submissions for the second issue of each year will be accepted on an ongoing basis.


Submission Guidelines

Articles for the first issue of each year will be taken from papers presented at the April IPA Conference; deadline for submission for this issue will be May 15, with publication to take place no later than August 31. Articles for the second issue of each year may be submitted at any time and, once accepted, will be held for publication until the issue is complete. The projected publication date for the second issue of each year is between November 1 and January 1.

Articles will be published on the PIPA Web site at:

http://www.eiu.edu/~ipaweb/pipa/index.htm

Authors may submit articles to the editor by e-mail, or else may send both a hardcopy and a copy on disk; electronic text may be in WordPerfect, MS Word, or ASCII formats. All submissions should include an author's biography of no more than 50 words. All submissions should follow the current MLA Handbook, in addition to the following conventions used by PIPA for ASCII text:

*bold* (emphasis)

%italics% (foreign language)

_underline_ (titles)

[1] (note numbers in the text)


Copyright Policy

Copyright to works published in PIPA belongs to the author(s): the author(s) of any article published in PIPA may republish their own work in print or in another online venue, so long as they put a note somewhere near the top or linked to the top of the document saying that the article first appeared in PIPA.
