The NSJ accepts unsolicited submissions throughout the year.

1. 01

   Originality

   The journal publishes original (i.e., previously unpublished) submissions. Exceptions are made at the sole discretion of the Newman Studies Journal.

The title page should include a one-page abstract (approximately 6 lines) and a brief autobiographical description (approximately 2–3 lines), which will appear in the published article if the work is selected. If the manuscript has been delivered at a conference, has been previously published, or is part of a broader research project, please indicate this on the title page as well.
