Current CFP: Insignificance Macht Frei
Send submissions to rhizomatic[at]myway[dot]com. For the purposes of peer review, do not include your name anywhere on your article. For more information regarding submission, please read the Style Guidebelow. Manuscripts submitted to Autopsia are judged not only on scholarly contributions, but also on their clarity and whether they can be read and understood. Attempts at mystification, obsfucation, ambiguity and indeterminacy are welcome, but should be the result of careful rhetorical considerations. Do not hesitate to use heavily technical terms, but define them when they first appear in your text and redefine when necessary. Otherwise, Autopsia is intended to be read, not deciphered. To that end, submitters should be aware that in the processes of evaluating and later formatting articles, Autopsia assumes the right to enact editorial changes that do not change meaning.
Style Guide
Autopsia adheres to basic MLA conventions.
Manuscript titles and abstracts should be short and informative for non-specialists.
Avoid using the following words and phrases:
might, should, often, quite, very, would seem, perhaps, nuance, foreground, privilege, articulate, inflect, overdetermine, difference, intensely personal, impact (as a verb), problematic (as a noun), there are a number of, and so on ... and so on.
If your paper is accepted, you will be asked to provide 6-10 keywords that describe your paper for the purposes of indexing and for web searches. The words listed above obviously do not make acceptable keywords.
Margins should be one inch (2.5cm) at the top, bottom, and sides of the page. Font type should be 11-point Times Roman throughout the document.
Double-space all body text, including abstract, references, endnotes and appendices.
Number all pages in your manuscript, starting with the Abstract Page.
Use one space, not two spaces, between sentences.
Manuscript text should be left-aligned.
Use endnotes instead of footnotes. Please use these sparingly, and keep them short. Citations to the literature should be included in the text, not in the endnotes.
Avoid passive constructions
Check and correct spelling and punctuation before submitting your manuscript.
Be consistent in your capitalization, spelling, hyphenation and formatting throughout the manuscript.
Avoid common usage errors such as "it's" and "its", "affect" and "effect", and "that" and "which".
Singular (plural) nouns require singular (plural) pronouns and verbs.
Use semicolons to help define long lists that include both groups and subgroups.
If a clause is inserted in a sentence use paired commas to set off the clause.
