Notes for Contributors

The editors invite submissions of manuscripts in English appropriate to the aims and scope of Tamkang Review. Tamkang Review does not accept multiple submissions or submissions that are under consideration—either in whole or in part—simultaneously elsewhere. Authors are advised that Tamkang Review adopts double-blind peer review and that revision may be required before the contribution is accepted for publication.

To facilitate this process, authors should ensure that their name or address does not appear anywhere in their paper. Authors will receive two complimentary copies of the issue in which their articles appear.

Preparation of manuscripts
  1. Manuscripts should be written in English. Submissions should be 6,000-10,000 words in length, inclusive of discursive notes and bibliographical information. Please send the manuscript along with a 300-word abstract and 5-6 keywords. If the manuscript is part of the revised doctoral dissertation, please notify us upon submission. Please submit manuscripts via e-mail to tkr@mail2.tku.edu.tw. Tamkang Review will acknowledge receipt of the submission.
  2. Manuscripts should be prepared according to the latest edition of MLA Handbook. Except for footnotes, which should be single-spaced, manuscripts must be double- spaced throughout and typeset in 12-point Times New Roman.
  3. All quotations, titles, names, and dates should be double-checked for accuracy.
  4. All pages should be numbered.
  5. If the paper has been published or submitted elsewhere in a language other than English, please also submit a copy of the non-English version. Tamkang Review may only consider submissions already available in other languages with extensive revision.
  6. An accompanying e-mail text should include the following information: the article title, the author’s name, affiliation, university and/or home postal address, and e-mail address.
  7. It is the journal’s policy to require all authors to sign an assignment of copyright form.
