Electronic publication allows for the addition of images and other visual or auditory aids, and the editors encourage authors to include such with articles when appropriate. Authors should make certain that all submitted materials are clear of copyright claims or that they obtain permission as required by law. JSR reserves copyright privileges for all materials published.
Acceptance: If a submission is accepted, the author will sign a contract with JSR assigning copyright to The Journal of Southern Religion. After making corrections and revisions, the author should submit the accepted manuscript via email to the editors as a Microsoft Word file (.doc or .docx).
