Journal Submissions

Scan Journalis a peer-reviewed quarterly. Submissions on a specific theme will be invited for each issue. Submitted articles will be blind-reviewed, with the exception of Information pieces, which will be assessed by the editors but not refereed.

Guidelines for Contributors

1. In general, follow these procedures:

1.1 Word length

Articles should be up to 6,000 words in length. If in doubt, consult the editors.

1.2 Submission Procedures

Send as email attachment as a word document.
Images should be sent as separate files as either GIF or JPG. Do not embed images into word documents.
Send word document to issue editor as designated in the Call for Papers, or to john.potts@mq.edu.au

1.3 All submissions should be accompanied by the following information

Name(s), Institutional affiliation(s), email(s) and surface mail addresses and fax no.(s) of the person(s) submitting.
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)
