The title page must include the following information: full title, affiliation and full addresses of all authors, a running title (maximum 50 characters), and indication of the author responsible for correspondence and correction of proofs.
Sections and headings
Papers should be divided into distinct sections where possible, including Introduction, Conclusion and References. The difference between level 1 and level 2 headings should also be clearly visible.
Notes
Notes should be supplied on separate sheets and numbered consecutively. They will appear at the end of the article.
References
Ibsen Studies use a reference style called 'Chicago Author-Date'. References in the text are indicated by the surname(s) of the author(s), the year of publication and the page number(s) in the parenthesis, for example (Kittang 2002, 201). More details of sources should appear at the end of the manuscript under the caption "References".
