Submitting to Amalgam
For a description of the types of work Amalgam will publish, please consult the call for papers.
Manuscripts should be submitted via email to amalgam@virginia.edu and should conform to the journal's style guidelines. The author's name, department, year in program and complete contact information should appear only on the article's title page. A list of potential reviewers must accompany submissions. Articles will appear in the online edition as they are accepted, and as such, there is no deadline for manuscripts that are to be published online.
All submissions undergo a preliminary review by Amalgam's editorial board to evaluate the appropriateness of the piece for the journal. Manuscripts that pass the preliminary review are reviewed anonymously by at least one colleague at the University. To facilitate this process, authors must submit a list of potential reviewers, including at least two graduate students and two faculty members capable of providing the most accurate and unbiased review of the work obtainable within the University. Papers are accepted based upon the recommendation of the anonymous reviewer and the completion of necessary revisions.
