Manuscripts intended for consideration should be electronically processed in a single document file (.doc is preferred), double-spaced, with endnotes, and a list of works cited. Manuscripts should not exceed 10,000 words in length, including endnotes. Authors should provide an abstract of no more than 150 words at the beginning of the manuscript, and their current institution affiliation, along with their preferred current email address, at the end of the manuscript. The JNS editorial office prepares manuscripts for blind review. Authors should ensure that their article conforms to the JNS citation format, and should indicate the relevant translations of Nietzsche's texts utilized in their manuscripts in an endnote to the first reference to a work by Nietzsche. There should be only one endnote concerning translations, and all relevant works should be dealt within that same note. JNS does not accept simultaneous submissions of articles. In other words, JNS must be the only journal currently reviewing a submission. JNS does not republish works that have already appeared in English. All submissions are accepted via e-mail at nietzsche@hunter.cuny.edu

The same citation format is utilized throughout the journal. References to Nietzsche’s texts are given in the body of the articles. References to Nietzsche’s unpublished writings are standardized, whenever possible, to refer to the most accessible edition of Nietzsche’s notebooks and publications, Kritische Studienausgabe (KSA), compiled under the general editorship of Giorgio Colli and Mazzino Montinari. References to the edition of letters, Sämtliche Briefe: Kritische Studienausgabe, are cited as KSAB.

Roman numerals denote the volume number of a set of collected works or standard subdivision within a single work, and Arabic numerals denote the relevant section number. In cases in which Nietzsche’s prefaces are cited, the letter “P” is used followed by the relevant section number, where applicable. When a section is too long for the section number alone to be useful, the page number of the relevant translation is also provided. In the cases in which the Kritische Gesamtausgabe (KGW) and KSA are cited, references provide the volume number (and part for KGW) followed by the relevant fragment number and any relevant aphorism (e.g., KSA 10:12[1].37 refers to volume 10, fragment 12[1], aphorism 37).
