Follow the steps to successfully complete your submission.

1. Click the ‘Get Form’ button to acquire the Submission Guidelines form and open it within your selected editor.
2. Begin by reviewing the types of contributions accepted by FURJ. Make sure your submission aligns with the categories outlined, including research articles, communications, book reviews, review essays, and photo essays.
3. In the section designated for your submission type, carefully fill out the necessary details according to the specific guidelines. Pay attention to word limits, manuscript format, and content requirements for each type.
4. Ensure that your manuscript adheres to the manuscript formatting rules: double-spacing, 1-inch margins, and using 12 point Times New Roman font. Include page numbers starting from the first page of text.
5. Prepare the title page with the title, your full name, college, class year, and contact information. This information is crucial as it must remain separate from the manuscript to maintain the review process's integrity.
6. Write and include an abstract of no more than 150 words that succinctly describes your research question, rationale, and key findings. This should be clear and accessible to a general audience.
7. Compile all necessary files, ensuring that each is labeled correctly. Follow the naming convention for each file as instructed in the guidelines.
8. Submit your manuscript and any required documents electronically via email to tfurj@fordham.edu. Additionally, ensure that you have submitted the Author Agreement and relevant IRB documentation in hardcopy.
