The DSQ is produced by the Hawaii University Affiliated Program on Disabilities at the University of Hawaii at Manoa and the Frank Sawyer School of Management at Suffolk University. Each volume is the same as a calendar year. Although the DSQ is associated with the Society for Disability Studies, the subscription price for the DSQ is not included in the dues for SDS membership.
Subscriptions can be obtained by the exchange of newsletters and/or publications relating to disability. Please specify if you wish to receive the DSQ by email or on diskette (IBM compatible ASCII, 3 1/2", high density). There is no additional cost for an alternative format.
Checks for subscriptions should be made out to the Disability Studies Quarterly and sent to David Pfeiffer, Hawai`i University Affiliated Program on Disabilities, University of Hawai`i at Manoa, 1776 University Ave UA 4-6, Honolulu, HI 96822, USA.

The Fall 1998 issue will be on Oral History with Karen Hirsch as special editor. Contributions and suggestions should be sent to the special editors.
Every article published in the DSQ is invited and reviewed by the editor, the special editor, and/or the book review editor. Although not technically a refereed publication, scholarly and professional standards are expected from the authors.
Please submit all material in IBM compatible format in ASCII either on a 5 1/4" or a 3 1/2" disk. Do not use footnotes on the page or any imbedded notes because they will not print correctly.
All notes (if used) must be endnotes. If "References" are provided, all citations in the list must be included in the notes or the text. Any citation not included will be deleted. If a "Bibliography" is provided (which includes all references), it can contain material not cited in the text or the notes. Any appropriate and clear form of citation can be used. However, it must be consistent throughout the material.
Gender specific pronouns should be avoided unless appropriate. The form "people with disabilities" or something similar must be used. Do not use contractions or slang unless it is in the original text which is being quoted. Corrections of grammar and syntax will be done, but every effort will be made to keep the original wording.
Work previously published must be so noted with a complete citation. If a copyright was obtained on the previously published work, written permission from the copyright holder must be included. Previously published work is not encouraged.
While there is no page limitation on individual contributions, authors should discuss the number of pages with the issue editor. The overall issue length is dependent upon funding.
Contributors who are not subscribers are encouraged to subscribe. The editor will provide a copy of an issue in which a non-subscriber's material appeared.
Authors are responsible for meeting these guidelines. Special editors are responsible for enforcing these guidelines. The editor's decision in these matters is final, but the editor is very grateful to all contributors and special editors for their hard work.
