The Concord Review

The endnotes and document citations of submitted historical papers must be in Chicago format (Turabian), that is, all annotations and cited documents of the article must appear at the end of the article; endnotes must use Arabic numerals instead of Roman numerals; the URL must be marked with the access date; the full text must be used. A single font, unless some non-English characters or diacritical marks that are not in the main text can use other fonts. Do not use carriage returns to break any complete sentences except for paragraphs.

It needs to be an English history paper of 4,000-6,000 words. You can also write on topics that have already been published. You can refer to the examples included in previous issues on the official website (or contact the assistant to get the examples). Articles with less than 4,000 words can be submitted, but the official prompt will compete with articles of other word counts. The official stated that the longest article ever published is 21,000 words, and the average word count of received papers is 5,500 words.

Submit only one file at a time. Only MS Word and RTF files are accepted. PDF, Apple Pages, GoogleDocs and other other files are not accepted. File name: first name + last name + underscore + first 3 words of the paper title, example: Marie Jones_The Founding Fathers.docx

The submitted paper has not been previously published on any platform other than the publication of the contributor's high school.

The Concord Review does not publish any graphic materials such as tables, pictures, photos, etc. Please be careful to remove them when submitting.

The same author can submit more than one article. If you need this, you can contact the organizer by email to modify your account information.

Students can choose topics from any period, and the review will focus on the quality of the work rather than the novelty of the subject matter. Unlike other academic activities, TCR submissions have a clear evaluation form for students to compare. Submissions pay more attention to academic ability, logical ability and academic writing ability. Students are required to find a large amount of supporting evidence and how to tell a historical story interestingly.

About 5%. Reviewers look for quality writing and historical research. Tell a story while making an interesting and well-founded argument. The point is its gold content! According to official statistics, 42% of selected candidates are admitted to Ivy League schools.

TCR also includes an evaluation project. Students can submit an anonymous paper to the official, and the official editor and professor will respond with an evaluation report, which will be helpful for further studies.

If you completed a history research paper before graduating from high school and are not yet enrolled in college or university, you may submit a history research paper to The Concord Review. Must be the only author. The paper must be in English and not have been published previously, except in publications of the secondary school attended.

Papers on any historical topic (ancient or modern, domestic or foreign) are welcome.

Papers submitted to The Concord Review should use Turabian (University of Chicago) style endnotes, not MLA style. Information about Turabian endnotes can be found in A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Thess and Dissertations by Kate L. Turabian and on the Memorial University of Newfoundland website.
