Presentation
Articles should be in the region of 4000 words. Included should be the author's name and academic affiliation, the title and a short abstract of no more than 100 words. All contributions should be clearly typed on one side of A4 paper, double-spaced and with wide margins throughout (including notes and bibliographical references). Two manuscript copies should be submitted and a 3.5" disk or electronic copy in IBM PC format readable in MsWord. Receipt of a submission will be acknowledged, and articles will be processed only after receipt of both hardcopy and electronic copies.
The following points should be observed:
Notes should be endnotes and should be kept to a minimum; they should be presented in a typed list at the end of the article and double-spaced.
Bibliographical references in the body of the text should be given in parentheses in standard author-date form: (Lee and Devore 1968: 236). A complete list of references cited, arranged alphabetically by author's surname, should be typed at the end of the article and adhere to the following style:
