· Title of the text and the section for which it is submitted.
All original submissions (of articles and reviews) should be accompanied by a short paragraph (40-60 words) about the contributor(s), giving the kind of information that readers may wish to know, such as name, institutional affiliation, leadership roles, recent publications, research interests.
2 Style guidelines:
· General rule - keep it simple, avoid formatting . This means: Use single spacing between lines, justify on left only.
· Do not use tabs at any time. Mark paragraph breaks with one extra "hard return".
· Do not use bold or underlining at any time: for emphasis or titles, use italics
· Avoid the use of footnotes or endnotes. Cited works are referenced in the text, eg. (Chambers 1994: 27). Include in the main text any material you may otherwise have footnoted.
· Spelling - retain 's' (and not 'z')
· Inverted commas - " (not ')
· Extended quotations - indent in plain text (not italics)
