• Please send two copies of the books for the purpose of review. Send self-addressed envelopes for the return of the submissions, if so desired.
• Give page number at the top right corner. Use italics throughout your essay for the titles of longer works and, only when absolutely necessary, providing emphasis.
• If you have any endnotes, include them on a separate page before Works Cited. Double space between the title and the first line of the text.

• Conifers Call allows both British and American variations in spellings. However, the authors are directed to consistently follow either of the two throughout.
• Names of the texts in the main body of the manuscript should be italicized and neither underlined nor put within quotation marks. The articles in the manuscript should be put in double quotation marks.
• Hyphenation of words should be consistently maintained throughout the text. Authors are to use a hyphen to maintain the distinction between a noun and an attributive adjective. For instance, ‘the Fifteenth Century’ while used as a noun, but ‘fifteenth-century Shimla’ while used as an adjective.
• For any quotation used in the text in a language other than English, the author is to provide a translation in English which is to follow the quotes immediately within parenthetical brackets before the in-text parenthetical citation of the source material. If the translation is not the author’s own, a citation to the translation should appear as well after the citation of the source material. The citation to the translation is to be separated from the citation of the source material with a ‘;’ and then prefixed by ‘trans.’
