Blind-review:
Berkeley Planning Journal submissions are blind-reviewed. The authors should identify themselves only on the cover page. In-text references to the author’s previous writings should be made in the third person.

First Publication:
The Journal considers submissions only that have not been published elsewhere and are not being considered for publication elsewhere.

Cover Sheet:
Include a cover sheet with the article’s title, author's name, phone number, email address and a two-sentence biographical statement. Include an abstract of no more than 150 words.

Length:
Maximum text length for BPJ submissions is 6,000 words not including cover page, abstract, notes, references and graphics.

Style Guides:
The Chicago manual of style, 14th edition (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1993).

Source Citations and Notes:
Authors must use in-text references, e.g. (Smith 1993) with a full list of references that contains only references to works cited in the text. Endnotes should contain only substantive commentary on material text.

Figures and Tables:
Diagrams, tables, and illustrations should be on separate sheets with their desired position in the text clearly indicated.
