"name": "ci-submission",
"description": "Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for Critical Inquiry (CI) via Editorial Manager — format selection, the 9,500-word limit (including discursive notes and all bibliographical information), Microsoft Word manuscript, Chicago (17th ed.) footnotes with no works-cited list, separate 300 ppi JPEG\/TIFF images with author-secured permissions, and the no-simultaneous-submission rule. Final checks; it does not draft content."

Submission Preflight (ci-submission)
The last check before pressing submit on Editorial Manager (editorialmanager.com/ci/). CI's most
common avoidable failures are a manuscript over the 9,500-word cap (because notes were not counted)
and images that are embedded, low-resolution, or uncleared. Verify volatile specifics on the official
page before relying on them.
When to trigger
- "Submitting tomorrow" — last pass before upload
- Unsure which files / format Editorial Manager expects
- Confirming the chosen format's cap is met and images are prepared correctly
Process facts (verify volatile items on the official page)
- Publisher: University of Chicago Press (journal founded 1974).
- Portal: Editorial Manager (
editorialmanager.com/ci/); special-issue proposals may go tocisubmissions[at]gmail.com. - Review model: peer-reviewed; reviewed by the editors-in-chief in consultation with the editorial team.
- Formats & caps: Article ≤ 9,500 words (includes discursive notes and all bibliographical information); Critical Response ≤ 3,000 words; Review ≤ 500 words.
- Manuscript file: Microsoft Word.
- Citations: footnotes roughly following The Chicago Manual of Style, 17th ed., numbered consecutively; no works-cited list.
- Images: separate 300 ppi JPEG/TIFF files, not embedded; author secures permissions before publication.
- Multiple submission: not accepted — not under consideration elsewhere.
- Fee: no separate submission fee listed in the checked submissions instructions; optional Gold open access fee $2,500 (confirmed on the CI submissions page 2026-06-22), requested at submission or no later than acceptance when relevant. Re-verify the fee before submission.
- Abstract: no separate abstract requirement is listed in the checked submissions instructions.
Preflight checklist
Format & length
- Format chosen and its cap met (Article ≤ 9,500 / Response ≤ 3,000 / Review ≤ 500)
- Word count includes discursive notes and all bibliographical information
- Manuscript is a Microsoft Word file
Citations & apparatus
- Chicago (17th ed.) footnotes, numbered consecutively; no works-cited list
- Notes are lean enough to stay within the word cap
Images & permissions
- Images as separate 300 ppi JPEG/TIFF files (not embedded), with caption + credit line
- Permissions secured by the author for all published images
Policy & files
- Not submitted simultaneously elsewhere
- Original work; manuscript appropriate to CI's interdisciplinary remit
- Special-issue proposal routed correctly (if applicable)
Anti-patterns
- Forgetting that notes count — a body-only count under 9,500 but a total over it
- Embedding images, supplying low-resolution files, or leaving permissions uncleared
- Adding a works-cited list or using author-date instead of footnotes
- Submitting to CI and another journal at once
- Budgeting for a submission fee that is not charged
Submission readiness pass for Critical Inquiry
Use this as a second-pass capability check. First lock the object, theoretical stakes, interpretive turn, and permission/citation discipline; then test whether the manuscript addresses humanities reviewers who expect a strong interpretive intervention rather than an empirical-results narrative.
- Primary move: Verify portal, article type, anonymity, declarations, files, data/code, and current source-map facts; return blockers before formatting advice.
- Decision ledger: return
claim / evidence / blocker / next editrows so the next pass can patch the manuscript directly. - Neighbor test: compare against PMLA for literary-field reach, New Literary History for theory/history, Representations for historically grounded cultural analysis; if the neighboring outlet has the stronger audience claim, recommend re-routing before polishing.
- Verification floor: before submission-ready advice, re-open
resources/official-source-map.mdfor volatile rules and name any live-check fact that could change the recommendation.
