It may take up to 2 business days (M-F, excluding holidays) to receive a response to your question or ProQuest submission - especially during high-volume times in the quarter.

Do I have to use my legal name when submitting my manuscript?

Answer

No. You may use a lived or preferred name. This will be the name associated with this publication, and your name on your manuscript and your name as entered into the ProQuest submission form should match.

Please note that your name should be listed consistently including using middle initials vs. spelling out middle names throughout your manuscript including on the Title Page, Copyright Page, Vita, Abstract as well as within the ProQuest Details section when you set up your account.
