Manuscript Submissions

Southern Rural Sociology is the official journal of the Southern Rural Sociological Association.  Submission to Southern Rural Sociology assumes that the authors are willing adherents to the anonymous peer-review process, that the manuscript is not being reviewed by another journal and that the authors have followed the SRS Manuscript Style Guide. Final decision to accept a manuscript for publication is made by the Editor, who relies on the recommendations of anonymous reviewers. 

Submission Fee

Southern Rural Sociology has abandoned page charges in favor of a submission fee.  The submission fee is $20 if the first author is a member of the Southern Rural Sociological Association and $30 if the first author is not a member of the organization.  Checks should be made payable to the Southern Rural Sociological Association (or SRSA).  Send the submission fee to the editor at the address listed below.

Electronic submission

SRS prefers submissions in electronic format from a single, designated, corresponding author who will be responsible for all subsequent communication with the editor. For tracking purposes, the corresponding author should use the same e-mail address that appears in the submission proper when communicating with the editor. If the corresponding author is submitting more than one article, he or she should submit each article in a separate email.

Preferred electronic formats are:

The corresponding author should send the article to srs@wku.edu as an email attachment.

The corresponding author should include a complete mailing address (with zip code) in the email message accompanying the attached article so that review results can be returned at the appropriate time.

If submission in electronic format is not possible, please submit four copies of your manuscript to:
