Remember to read our Mission Statement before submitting to the Oral History Review and please take look at one of our latest issues to get a feel for the kinds of work we publish. Send us your best work, and make sure that it is formatted correctly and follows the OHR Style Guide.
See the OHR Style Guide for Authors.
To submit:
The Oral History Review uses Scholar One for article submissions. Click here to submit a manuscript to the Oral History Review and visit Routledge, Taylor & Francis for further detailed author instructions.
Additionally, the OHR’s editorial team would like authors to note some general guidelines:
- Formatting: Manuscripts should be double-spaced throughout (including abstract, footnotes and quotations) and prepared according to the Chicago Manual of Style.
- Article submissions are normally no longer than 10,000 words.
- Peer Review: The Oral History Review conducts blinded peer-review. When uploading your manuscript, you will need to upload a manuscript file with no identifying author information and a separate title page with author details.
- No Simultaneous Submissions: Manuscripts submitted for publication to other journals should not be sent simultaneously to The Oral History Review nor should the same or very similar article be published in another journal or periodical if it is to be published in the Oral History Review.
Correspondence regarding the development of individual submissions should be directed to Editor Holly Werner-Thomas, at holly@hollythomasoralhistory.com.
Correspondence regarding editorial matters related to the management and production of the journal should be sent to Molly Todd, Managing Editor, at molly.todd@montana.edu.
- Contact OHR’s book and media review editors directly for information on reviewing for the journal.
Correspondence regarding, and submissions of, solicited and unsolicited book reviews, as well as inquiries on where to send books for review, should be directed to Book Review Editor Sharon Raynor, at ohrbookrevieweditor@gmail.com.
Correspondence regarding significant applications of oral history in settings other than in books (for example, music or theater pieces, museums or art exhibits, online archives, podcasts or other interactive presentations) should be directed to Media Review Editor Bud Kliment, at OHRMedia@outlook.com.
