[prabhat kumar]

Dear all,
FYI.
Attached is the flyer which contains the Call for papers for the maiden
issue of our journal - Presidency Historical Review. Please forward it to
everyone, especially MA, M.phil students. If possible, please print a copy
and paste it on your institution's notice board.


"The Department of History, Presidency University launches the 'Presidency
Historical Review,' a students’ peer-reviewed academic journal. The journal
intends to address research interests in historical studies with an
inter-disciplinary and inter-regional approach, while catering especially
to the research interests of undergraduate students, graduate students and
research scholars. Although the journal primarily focuses on South Asian
studies, it will also welcome academic writings from other areas of
research. It aims to be a forum of scholarly discussion, and encourages the
work of new scholars. All abstracts and articles will be independently and
confidentially refereed by a students’ board, and thereafter reviewed by a
distinguished, multidisciplinary Board of Editors.
Call for Papers.
In publishing its first issue, the Presidency Historical Review is sending
out a call for papers. All interested should send an abstract to
presidencyhistoricalreview at gmail.com by 30th November, which should include
the title, the theme, and original arguments, if any. The following article
should be in English, and must not exceed 3000 words (which is the maximum
word limit). The journal shall also include a section on book reviews (for
which the maximum word limit is 1000). Contributions to both are welcome.
In terms of originality, the articles might be based either on fresh
primary research, or new perspectives on work already done.
Manuscripts should be submitted electronically in MS Word format and should
conform to the Chicago Manual of Style (16th Edition). All copies,
including captions, tables and references, must be typed double-spaced, in
12-point Times New Roman font, while footnotes should be in 10-point. All
visuals (with captions) must appear at the end of the article. Manuscripts
will be sent out anonymously for editorial evaluation. Obtaining permission
for any quoted or reprinted material will be the responsibility of the
author. Submission of an article would imply commitment to publish in the
journal, if selected. Authors submitting manuscripts to the journal should
not simultaneously submit them to another journal, nor should manuscripts
have been published elsewhere in substantially similar form or with
substantially similar content.
Undergraduate and post-graduate students are especially encouraged to
contribute. For further queries please write to us at the aforementioned
email address."

Thanks,
