Formatting Requirements

Upon initial submission, the Grand Valley Journal of History stipulates that the name(s) of the author(s) must appear nowhere in the submitted article. This is to ensure that each paper is reviewed fairly. Published articles, of course, will be appropriately credited. There are, however, rules governing the formatting of the final submission. See Final Manuscript Preparation Guidelines for details. Although bepress can provide limited technical support, it is ultimately the responsibility of the author to produce an electronic version of the article as a high-quality PDF (Adobe's Portable Document Format) file, or a Word document that can be converted to a PDF. It is understood that the current state of technology of Adobe's PDF is such that there can be no guarantees that documents in PDF will work perfectly with all possible hardware and software configurations that readers may have.
