Instructions to authors..../ Instructions aux auteurs....

Editorial policy: South African Journal Of Cultural History publishes articles on original research, as well as review articles, short communications, book reviews, and comments on articles which have appeared in previous numbers of the Journal. Opinions expressed are those of the author(s) and are not necessarily those of the Editor or the Society. The Journal is published twice annually.

Submission of manuscripts: The original typed manuscript and two legible copies as well as a manuscript on computer disk should be submitted to the Editor. Manuscripts will be submitted to at least two referees. Manuscripts may be returned to authors if extensive revision is considered necessary. Manuscripts should be submitted with 1,5 line spacing, the length between 10 and 20 pages. The presentation should be in accordance with that of the last issue of the Journal.

Title page: The first page of the manuscript must contain the following:

Title: Titles must be short (not longer than 15 words), but must contain sufficient information for use in title lists or for codification with a view to information storage and retrieval.

Author: Name(s) of author(s).

Address: Name and address of the institution with which the author is associated and the author's postal address if this differs from the former.

Abstracts: Short abstracts (maximum 250 words each) in both English and Afrikaans must be included. The abstract must indicate the content of the article, factually and concisely, and be suitable for separate publication and indexing. Both abstracts must commence with the title, or a translation thereof.

References: The referencing technique in the latest issue of the Journal should be followed. The use of abbreviations (such as Ibid.) is not permitted; the complete reference must be repeated every time. References should be footnoted and numbered consecutively throughout.

Figures: All figures (photographs, sketches, tables, maps) should be numbered consecutively (e.g. Figure 5). Each submission should contain the originals and two sets of copies. All figures must be dearly numbered on the back. Figure captions should be typed on a separate sheet in the correct order. The origin (photographer, artist, depository, source) of all figures must be given.

Copyright: Authors are responsible for obtaining copyright and reproduction rights on all figures. Copyright on all material published in the Journal is vested in the South African Society for Cultural History.

Editorial address: Manuscripts for publication must be submitted to:
