All material must be original, must not have appeared elsewhere, and must not be submitted for publication elsewhere while under consideration by Millennium. The approximate length required for main articles is 7,000-9,000 words (including footnotes but excluding an abstract of up to 150 words and up to six keywords), for discussion pieces and research notes 5,000 words, and for review articles 3,000-4,000 words. Review articles should discuss three to five recently published books on related subjects. On all matters concerning the publication of submitted manuscripts the Editors' decision is final.
