Notes for Intending Contributors

  1. Please submit two hard copies and a computer file of the text plus all other material related to the article. Include an abstract of no more than 100 words. Copies are to be on 81/2" x 11" (210mm x 297mm) paper, on one side only. The computer file should be in the popular wordprocessing formats or in unformatted text form (IBM or Macintosh compatible).
  2. Authors must obtain in writing all permissions for the publication of material under copyright and send a copy of this when submitting the article.
  3. Manuscripts should be typed double-spaced, leaving 11/2" (38mm) margins on all sides.
  4. When the article is accepted for publication, it will be returned for the writer's checking prior to plating.
  5. All tables, maps photographs, etc. should be submitted on separate sheets with lucid (final) captions and clear indication of their location in the manuscript.
  6. Acknowledgements are carried by the first footnote which appears just after the title of the article.
  7. Manuscripts submitted to Australian Folklore should not have been submitted elsewhere, nor should they simultaneously be under consideration for another publication.
  8. Manuscripts should be in English and observe usual English / Australian conventions of usage, spelling and punctuation.
  9. Books reviews are normally handled by the Reviews Editor who solicits them. All review footnotes should be worked into the text. The reviews should be submitted simultaneously on hard copy and on computer disk.
  10. Articles and Reviews are accepted for publication subject to editing for style - i.e. the prime concern is consistency. Every effort will be made - time allowing - to to enable contributors to make final changes after copy editing.
