Key Changes to the Member Publications Listing
Forthcoming Items
Now that the list is “live” and not limited to an annual publication, we will not be posting forthcoming items. Instead, new publications should be entered when they are published. Journal articles should not be entered until volume and page numbers are available.
Past Publications
The Member Publication listing is only for new publications (published within the last year). Items published in prior years are not eligible for posting.
Publication Formatting
Formatting of publication information should conform to the JETS stylesheet which is based on the Chicago Manual of Style (14th edition).

The Member Publication listing will focus on scholarly pieces including: books, monographs, journal articles, articles in reference works, book chapters, etc. The listing will not typically include book reviews, interviews, newspaper articles, websites, web articles, or blog postings.
