Format for Submissions
All submissions must be in English and submitted electronically (in Microsoft Word format).

Requirements for each category of submission
Scholarly articles
- Scholarly manuscripts should be approximately 7,000 to 8,000 words. Longer manuscripts will be considered only in exceptional circumstances.
- Articles will be reviewed by the Editors and will be forwarded for peer review upon their assessment.
- Endnotes (not footnotes) in Chicago note style should be used. Notes should be kept to a minimum, and lengthy notes are strongly discouraged.
- An abstract should be included, not to exceed 250 words, as well as a list of keywords.
Shorter articles, essays or briefing papers
The journal encourages the submission of shorter articles of a timely nature. These should be approximately 2,500 to 3,500 words in length and require few citations. They will be reviewed only by the Editors, and will generally appear more quickly than those subject to the peer-review process. Unsolicited articles are welcomed.
Student notes
A special feature of the AHIF Policy Journal will be a “Student notes” section.
Book reviews
Book reviews are welcomed and will be considered by the Editors who assume no responsibility for them.

By necessity the timing of the review process varies, but we hope to reply to authors within three to four weeks of receiving the submission.
