PREPARATION OF MANUSCRIPT
1.For guidance in the preparation of footnotes, citations, bibliography, tables, titles and headings, see recent issues of Mobilization. On matters not specified below, follow the Chicago Manual of Style, 14th ed. (1993).
2. Citation:
All sources should be identified within the text by the last name of the author, date of publication, and page number. Page numbers must be specified when direct quotations are used. Pagination follows year of publication after a colon and a space. When possible, citations should be placed just before a period or other mark of punctuation. Give both last names for dual authors and use the word "and," not an ampersand (&).
Example: "Multivariate models were tested through the use of logit analysis (Feinberg 1980: 92; Netter and Wasserman 1974:332)."
When the author's name is mentioned in the text the following forms should be used:
Example: "In a somewhat similar fashion, Kriesi (1991) and Kitschelt (1986) discuss contextual factors deriving from the movement's political environment."
Distinguish multiple references by the same author by adding letters a, b, c, etc., to the year: (Tilly 1995a; 1995b). For more than two authors, give all last names in the first in-text citation (Snow, Rochford, Worden, and Benford 1986: 470) and thereafter use et al.(Snow et al. 1986: 465). Enclose a series of references by different authors within a single pair of parentheses and separate them with a semicolon. When the series includes several references by the same author, separate these references by commas: (Johnston 1991, 1992, 1993; Morris 1986; Aguirre 1995).
3. Notes:
Footnotes (not endnotes) should be used, sequentially numbered in the text with superscript arabic numerals.Source citations are made in the text, not in the footnotes. Footnotes will be allowed only for content.
4. Hyphens and dashes:
Do not hyphenate words at the end of lines. Use hyphens only in compound words. Please use the correct character for dashes as punctuation &emdash; as in asides, parenthetical comments, or afterthoughts. These are to be distinguished from double hyphens like these--which should not be used.
5. Tables and Figures:
One per page, and located at the end of the manuscript, numbered consecutively. Indicate the location in the text with "Table 1 about here." Each table must include a descriptive title and column headings. Footnotes to tables should be headed, "Note" or "Notes," and specific notes referred to with a, b, c, etc. Use asteriks to indicate levels of significance; for example, * <.05, ** <.01, ***< .001. Illustrations, diagrams and charts should be referred to as "Figures" in the text. Upon acceptance, they must be camera-ready, and not need further artwork or typesetting.
6. References:
All source citations in the text must be entered alphabetically in a separate, double-spaced section, entitled REFERENCES, placed at the end of the manuscript. The reference section must be complete and include only references actually cited in the text. The use of "et al." is notacceptable. Please list the names of all authors using the full first names. For titles of articles, the first letter of each word should be capitalized (except prepositions, conjunctions, and articles in the body of the title see below). Because titles of books and journals are printed in italic, editors request that authors use italics (not underlining) in the reference section. If appropriate, include the original year of publication.
