Other Considerations
|
Authors should specify in their cover letter whether the essay is
nonfiction, fiction, or a fictionalized account of true events.
If the essay is nonfiction, we ask that the authors mask the identity of
people. In addition, the authors should show the manuscript to all persons
described in the essay and to obtain their permission to publish the
material.
Although Annals does not require signed permission from the subjects
of essays, we do require the authors to state in writing whether they
obtained the subjects’ permission. If the author has not obtained
permission, he or she should explain the reasons for its absence in a cover
letter that accompanies the manuscript. We will consider nonfiction
material that does not have the subject’s permission at the
editors’ discretion.
