About the Journal
The Jefferson Heritage Society is proud to introduce its new peer-reviewed journal: The Journal of Jefferson's Life and Times. A theme-based journal—each issue is being devoted to one particular theme—it will be published biannually (April and November). It publishes articles by scholars from a wide range of disciplines—e.g., history, philosophy, education, religious studies, social sciences, and political science— in an effort to gain a greater understanding of Jefferson and the time in which he lived. Each issue will include a feature essay (by invitation only) on a particular theme (3,750–6,250 words or 15–25 pages), followed by critical responses to that feature essay (by invitation only, and each, 500–750 words or 2–3 pages, and a number of other essays (anyone encouraged to submit) related to the theme (2,500–5,000 words or 10–20 pages). We also encourage submission of book reviews (250–1,000 words or 1–4 pages) on any book (recent books especially) related to Jefferson and his time. Other features will include letters to the editor and a calendar of events. Guidelines for submissions will be published in each issue and can also be found on the journal's submission webpage: http://www.thethomasjeffersonjournal.com/submissions The Journal of Thomas Jefferson's Life and Times is not interested in articles by authors with a political slant—e.g., revisionists intent on putting Jefferson in his place, apologists intent on sanctifying Jefferson, or presentists intent on using contemporary political or moral standards to evaluate Jefferson—but instead focuses on evidence-based scholarship, where all available relevant evidence is used to defend a thesis. We require not merely original scholarship, but critical scholarship, and thus we require authors to have sufficient critical engagement with the secondary literature.
