The following guidelines apply to papers that shall be submitted for the proceedings of IIGRS 13 in Cambridge. Only papers presented at this event are accepted. Please send your submissions to mc2298@cam.ac.uk before the deadline set on January 30th, 2024.
- Please submit the paper in a MS Word or Libre/Open Office file.
- Please only use a unicode font. We recommend the font Libertinus (https://github.com/alerque/libertinus/releases/download/v7.040/Libertinus-7.040.zip), a free and open alternative to proprietary typefaces. The volume will be typeset in this font. For Chinese and Japanese scripts we recommend SimSun or MS Mincho. Where possible, please keep to English (UK) spellings.
- Texts in non-Roman scripts should generally be transcribed. Transcriptions of Vedic and Sanskrit texts should follow the standard of the International Alphabet of Sanskrit Transliteration (IAST).
- At the beginning of your paper, please include an abstract summarizing its goals, sources, approach or methods, and results. In case relevant work on the topic has already been done or published, this should also be mentioned. The abstract should have at least 100 but no more than 200 words.
- The main text of the paper (excluding abstract, titles, footnotes, bibliography etc.) should have at least 5.000 but no more than 10.000 words.
- Please use footnotes instead of endnotes and reserve these for text references and text-critical notes or other technical questions. Keep your arguments, quotes and remarks in the main body of your text if possible.
- You may follow the bibliography style of your choice. However, please be consistent and always include: name of author, title, publication medium (journal, edited volume, series, etc.), editor(s) (if any), place and year of publication. E.g.:
- • Kādambarī, ed. Peter Petersen, Bombay 1883 (Bombay Sanskrit Series 24).
- • Emmanuel Francis, “Towards a New Edition of the Corpus of Pallava Inscriptions”, in: Nina Mirnig et al. (eds.), Puṣpikā: Tracing Ancient India, through Texts and Traditions. Contributions to Current Research in Indology, Volume 1: Proceedings of the International Indology Graduate Research Symposium (September 2009, Oxford), Oxford 2013, p. 123–149.
- Be clear and unambiguous in references to sources other than prints (paintings, inscriptions, unpublished manuscripts etc.).
- We encourage you to include DOIs (digital object identifiers) and URLs (uniform resource locators, i.e. web addresses) in your references if such exist.
