Information for Authors
Online submission
Authors are requested not to submit typescripts that are under consideration for publication elsewhere and to send final drafts rather than earlier versions designed to elicit editors’ judgement on the potential suitability of the MS for publication in Social History of Medicine (SHM).
Authors whose work is accepted will be asked to confirm the article’s originality and, if appropriate, adherence to ethical considerations such as assurance of interviewees’ confidentiality. The journal is a member of COPE (the Committee on Publication Ethics) and adheres to its policies and procedures.
Once you have prepared your manuscript according to the instructions below please visit the online submission web site. Instructions on submitting your manuscript online can be viewed here or via the online submission web site. Please check for an existing account before creating a new one. Please note that proofs for book reviews are not provided. Any changes to the text will be at the book review editor's discretion and according to journal style.
If you have any queries relating to the submission site or a manuscript, please contact the editorial office E Mail: shm.editorialoffice@oup.com. For all content or reviewing related questions please contact one of the editors.
The journal seeks clear and accessible contributions. Simple phrasing is preferred. Please do not include numbered lists in your article. Please use UK English spelling (including -ise/-ising rather than -ize/-izing) and double-check all non-English words. All articles should be in Arial font, 12 point and double-spaced, in Word format. The article should be paginated throughout. Graphs and figures can be inserted in the main text. Please include a short abstract of no more than 150 words and up to 5 keywords. A statement of the author’s present position, a short bio note (50–70 words), postal address, email address, telephone and fax numbers should be provided in a separate document – Title page (in Word format).
SHM conducts double-blinded peer reviews. When uploading your manuscript it should include no identifying author information (designate as Main Document). A separate title page (designate as Title Page) should be uploaded with author details, any acknowledgements, and an address for correspondence with readers. 'Supplementary' files are for online publication only. Articles will not proceed to publication unless they adhere to the journal’s house-style.
After peer review, when submitting a final, revised version of your paper, please submit both a clean copy of the revision and a copy with track changes, clearly labelling both versions.
Word limit. Original articles should not exceed 12,000 words (including footnotes and text in tables). Second Opinions should not exceed 6,000 words.
References. SHM uses footnotes (not endnotes) for referencing material. Manuscripts should not contain a separate bibliography or list of references. The first citation in footnotes must include the full details of the primary or secondary sources. Footnotes should be double-spaced. Use consecutive superior numbers placed after the end-mark of punctuation for footnote references. A second citation of the same source, if immediately following, is Ibid.; if other footnotes intervene, use the author's last name, short title, and (for quotations) page number. Use inclusive page numbers for journal articles and book chapters: 3–17, 23–26, 100–103, 104–7, 124–28, 1115–20. Provide complete bibliographic information as outlined below at first citation; for all subsequent citations, give author and short title. Authors are solely responsible for the accuracy of citations. Follow the examples below for footnote format.

Quotations. Quotations of up to two sentences in length should be included in the main text, enclosed within ‘single quotation marks’. Quotations within quotations should be in “double quotation marks”. Quotations over this length should be given a separate paragraph. This paragraph should not be italicised, and should be indented with wider margins than the main body of the text. The paragraph should be separated from the main text by a one-line space above and below the quotation. The indented paragraph should not be in quotation marks. Quotations within an indented quotation should be in ‘single quotes’. Full stops and commas at the end of quotes should fall inside the quotation marks if they form part of the original quotation. Otherwise, punctuation should fall outside quotation marks.
Ellipses. When words are omitted, there is a space, three dots, followed by a space. If the words omitted go over the end of a sentence, the following word must be capitalised to point out that a new sentence has started. If that word is not the one that started the new sentence in the original, a capital must be provided in square brackets. In instances of this kind, an extra dot must be added.
Dates and figures. Dates should be written as follows: 6 September 1972; 1972–73; 1972–2002; twentieth century, or twentieth-century when used as an adjective. Numbers from one to nine (and first to ninth) should be spelt out. Figures 10 to 999,999 should be written in numerical form. Thereafter 1 million, 2.7 million etc. are preferred. For percentages use figures and (two words) per cent, e.g. 8 per cent. For a large number of percentages, it is permissible to use the % sign.
Punctuation. When an abbreviated word comes at the end of a sentence, there is only one full stop.
E.g. ... in the European countries, France, Italy, etc.
Not ... France, Italy, etc..
Capitalisation. Capital letters should generally be avoided with nouns unless they are derived from proper names (Maoism, Galenism) or refer to titles (International Association for the Study of Traditional Asian Medicine, the Medical Research Council).
Acronyms. Acronyms should be capitalised but should not be separated by dots (unless they appear in this form in a citation), for example: WHO, USA, PRC.
Tables, Graphs, Maps, and Illustrations. Sources for tables should be given in full detail. Copyright permission for the online and print use of tables, figures and illustrations must be obtained.
Authors proposing to use illustrative material or reprographics are asked to consult the editors at an early stage and to liaise closely with the editorial assistant throughout the publication process.
Tables
- Please state clearly in the text where you want the tables to appear
(e.g. Insert table 1 about here).
- Ensure in the text that the reader is directed to a specific table. For example:
‘Table 1 shows that infant mortality rates were very high …’; or
‘ … infant mortality rates were very high in this period (Table 1).’
- As far as possible, the topic and content of tables should stand alone and be comprehensible without reference to the text in the article.
- Tables should be numbered consecutively in arabic numerals.
- Titles should be concise. Include a place and date range, if applicable.
- Use % not ‘per cent’.
- The number of decimal places should be consistent throughout (that is, not a mix of one- and two-decimal places).
- Authors are requested to check and recheck carefully the sum of column and row totals where applicable. If % columns do not add up to 100%, explanation should be given in the notes.
- Table note references are symbols (not arabic numerals) and should be listed at the bottom of the table, before Sources.
- Sources should be provided in all cases. Where applicable, the house style for notes is acceptable. Please ensure that primary and secondary sources for tables are provided in full.
- It is the responsibility of the author to provide copyright permissions for online and print usage where necessary.
Figures
- State clearly in the text where you want the figures to appear
(e.g. Insert table 1 about here).
- Ensure in the text that the reader is directed to a specific figure. For example:
‘Figure 1 shows that infant mortality rates were very high …’; or
‘ … infant mortality rates were very high in this period (Figure 1).’
- As far as possible, the topic and content of figures should stand alone and be comprehensible without reference to the text in the article.
- Figures should be numbered consecutively in arabic numerals.
- Titles should be concise. Include a place and date range, if applicable.
- Both axes should be labelled.
- Use % not ‘per cent’.
- Sources should be provided in all cases, and should follow house referencing style as outlined above.

Authors should also include a statement indicating that permission has been obtained in the relevant legend/footnote and provide the Editorial Office with copies of any relevant paperwork.
here is no strict rule about the limiting the number of figures in a paper, but we would expect there to be no more than four images, except for exceptional circumstances.
Funding. Details of all funding sources for the work in question should be given in a separate section entitled 'Funding'. This should appear before the 'Acknowledgements' section.
The following rules should be followed.
The sentence should begin: ‘This work was supported by …
The full official funding agency name should be given, i.e. ‘the National Cancer Institute at the National Institutes of Health’ or simply ‘National Institutes of Health' not ‘NCI’ (one of the 27 subinstitutions) or ‘NCI at NIH’ (full RIN-approved list of UK funding agencies) Grant numbers should be given in brackets as follows: ‘[grant number xxxx]’
Multiple grant numbers should be separated by a comma as follows: ‘[grant numbers xxxx, yyyy]
Agencies should be separated by a semi-colon (plus ‘and’ before the last funding agency)
Where individuals need to be specified for certain sources of funding the following text should be added after the relevant agency or grant number 'to [author initials]'.
An example is given here: ‘This work was supported by the National Institutes of Health [AA123456 to C.S., BB765432 to M.H.]; and the Alcohol & Education Research Council [hfygr667789].’
Oxford Journals will deposit all NIH-funded articles in PubMed Central. See Depositing articles in repositories – information for authors for details. Authors must ensure that manuscripts are clearly indicated as NIH-funded using the guidelines above.
