The Israeli Journal of Humor Research: An International Journal Original articles are sought, not yet published in any language and not currently under consideration by other forums. The editors will strive to obtain referee reports and to transmit these to the contact author within a reasonable period since submission. In case authors are conversant with both Hebrew and English, it would be appreciated if they could provide an abstract in both languages, in a separate file.
As usual with scholarly journals, in case of acceptance and publications the authors agree beforehand to the copyright being transferred to the journal. They retain, as usual, the right to publish again their paper, provided this is in a volume authored or co-authored by them in its entirety (but not in a collection containing chapters from diverse authors), and provided that prior publication in the The Israeli Journal of Humor Research is acknowledged.
Please submit articles in a Word file, with an accompanying .pdf file. In order to enable doubly blind review (referees’ identity being unknown to authors, and vice versa), please submit anonymized versions of the article (beginning with the title of the paper, omitting the name of the author or authors, and including an abstract of about ten lines preceding the first section), and provide a separate cover page, including the title of the article, the name or names of the author(s), institutional affiliation, and address or any other contact coordinates, especially an email address.
The font should be Times New Roman, in point 12. Both footnotes and endnotes are allowed, but footnotes are preferred. Extensive footnotes are all right. Two styles of bibliographic reference are allowed: articles in the humanities may, if authors wish so, indicate the publication data in footnotes. It is however preferred that bibliographic entries appear in a bibliography at the end of the paper. Such being the case, the format for citations is by author and year:
Ritterband and Wechsler (1994)
(Singer et al. 1901–1906; Armstrong 1985)
Uther (2004, Vol. 2, p. 433)
Swieringa (1994, p. 102)
Swieringa (1994, p. 104, his brackets and ellipse)
Appendices, if any, should appear before the bibliography, if the bibliographic entries are not given in footnotes. When the first name of authors or editors is known, please give it. In listing conference proceedings, please spell out the ordinal number if under twelve (e.g., Proceedings of the Fourth International Conference), but for higher ordinals please use a number (e.g., Proceedings of the 16th International Conference). The format for the bibliography at the end is as shown in the following sample:
Aarne, Antti and Stith Thompson. 1928 and sqq. The Types of the Folktale: A Classification and Bibliography, by A. Aarne, translated and enlarged by S. Thompson. (Folklore Fellows Communications, 74.) Helsinki: Suomalainen Tiedeakatemia = Academia Scientiarum Fennica, 1928. 2nd revision: (FF Communications, 75, no. 184), 1961. Reprints: 1973, 1964, 1981. Another reprint, New York: B. Franklin, 1971. Aarne’s German original was Verzeichnis der Märchentypen.
