Manuscript Editing for Journal for the Study of Religious Experience Articles
The Journal for the Study of Religious Experience brings together different approaches to the study of religious and spiritual experience. It publishes original papers that advance theoretical, methodological, and ethnographic research. The journal encourages submissions from anthropology, sociology, psychology, and religious studies. The Alister Hardy Religious Experience Research Centre publishes it at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David, where its editor-in-chief, Bettina Schmidt, is based. One issue appears each year, with occasional special issues, in open access and without publication charges.
Research articles run 7,500 to 10,000 words, field reports 2,000 to 4,000, and book reviews 400 to 700. References follow Harvard style as set out in Cite Them Right, 13th edition. Citations sit in the text in author-date form, and footnotes carry only content that suits the text poorly. The alphabetical reference list includes cited works only, with DOIs where available. A single-spaced abstract of 150 words states the aim, key issue, approach, and main conclusions, followed by five keywords separated by semicolons. Spelling and punctuation are British, with -ise endings and single quotation marks. Quotations of 40 words or more are indented. Text is set in Arial 12 point with 1.5 spacing. Submissions go through the journal's OJS site.
