  • RSC Style Guide
    Religious Studies Center Style Guide, 1 October 2018 Authors who submit manuscripts for potential publication should generally follow the guidelines in The Chicago Manual of Style, 17th ed. (Chicago: The University of Chicago Press, 2017) and Style Guide for Editors and Writers, 5th ed. (Salt Lake City: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 2013). This style guide summarizes the main principles in the other style guides and lists a few exceptions to their guidelines. Formatting 1. Use double-spacing throughout the manuscript and the endnotes. Use one-inch margins, and insert page numbers at the bottom of the page. Use a Times New Roman 12-point font for both the body of the manuscript and the notes. Use only one space after periods. 2. If you have images, add captions and courtesy lines (such as courtesy of Church History Library, Salt Lake City) to the Word file. However, do not insert images in the Word files; submit them separately. Images should be 300 dpi or better (TIFF or JPG files). File names and captions should match (Fig. 1.1 = chapter 1, figure 1). Headings 3. Update: Include headings to break up the text. First-Level Headings First-level headings should be flush left and bolded, as in the example above. Capitalize internal words except for articles (a, an, and the), conjunctions (and, but, or, for, so, and yet), prepositions, and the word to in infinitive phrases. Second-Level Headings Second-level headings should be flush left and italicized. Capitalize like first-level headings. Third-level headings. Third-level headings should be italicized, followed by a period, and run in to the text; capitalization should be handled sentence-style (capitalize the first word and proper nouns).

    BUILDING THE LATTER-DAY KINGDOM IN THE AMERICAS: THE FLORIDA FORT LAUDERDALE MISSION By GAYLE LASATER PAGNONI A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2013 1 © 2013 Gayle Lasater Pagnoni 2 To Lou, Dirk and Gracie, and Drew 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation would not have been possible without my advisers at the University of Florida including my supervisor, Anna Peterson, and committee members, David Hackett, Whitney Sanford, and Marianne Schmink. These four scholars and four important communities are among those I remember as instrumental to my completion of the doctoral degree: the academic community at the University of Florida (UF); Florida International University (FIU); the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) and its Florida Fort Lauderdale Mission (FFLM); and my loved ones. At UF, I thank those pioneers in our department who envisioned a new doctoral program organized to innovatively think about the study of religion through three tracks: Religion in the Americas, Asian Religions, and Religion and Nature. My interests have always been religion and politics in the Americas, with interests in the environment so this program was a good fit. Second, I thank the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences for awarding to me the Aschoff Dissertation Writing Award, and to the Madelyn Lockhart Dissertation Fellowship Committee for choosing me as a finalist. Both awards facilitated my research and writing. I am most indebted to Dr. Anna Peterson, University of Florida Latin Americanist, environmentalist, and ethicist, as chair of my dissertation committee, teaching supervisor, and mentor extraordinaire.
