Interested in Contributing
a Paper to the Napoleon Series? We have developed a writing
and style guide! The following guidelines are to be used for all
contributions to the Napoleon Series website. This includes articles,
book reviews, commentaries and other material. They were developed
so that all contributions published by the Napoleon Series will have
a uniform look and to minimize the amount of time required to format
the papers for the internet. Unless given prior approval by
the editor, all papers must follow these guidelines. Those
papers that do not follow these guidelines will
be sent back to the author for revision.
This guide is not intended to limit the content of any contribution; rather
it is designed to aid authors in properly formatting their articles
and to reduce the amount of time spent editing the articles.
A copy of the guide can be found at: Napoleon
