The editors welcome original contributions. By submission of a manuscript an author certifies that the work is original and is not being considered simultaneously by another publisher. In order to safeguard authors' rights, the copyright of all material published is vested in Journal of Eastern African Studies.
Submissions: All manuscripts will be acknowledged on receipt, and all will be refereed. Only those receiving favourable recommendation will be accepted for publication. If submitting in hard copy, we require you to send three copies. JEAS does not impose a formal word limit upon authors, but most articles accepted for publication are less than 10,000 words (including endnotes and bibliography) in length. The Editors will accept longer articles where the topic merits a lengthier treatment. Scripts must be typed, double-spaced on one side of good quality A4 (or similar) paper with wide margins. Number the pages. Keep a copy yourself. A short abstract of 150-300 words should precede the introduction. The abstract should be clear and informative giving an indication of the scope of the paper and its main arguments. The author's name and full postal address should be given on the title page. We welcome articles on disk but please do not send disk copy until your article has been accepted for publication. Please send hard copy submissions to:
Journal of Eastern African Studies, African Studies Centre, 92 Woodstock Road, Oxford, OX2 7ND, United Kingdom.
Electronic submission: We are happy to accept submissions by email attachment. Wherever possible, the attachment should be sent as a Word document. Electronic submissions may be sent to the Journal's Editorial Assistant, at: jeas@africa.ox.ac.uk
Tables: typed on separate pages, should be collected at the end of the text and numbered in Arabic numerals. Their approximate position in the text should be indicated in the margin in the text. Always use numbers for figures in tables and the symbol % may be used to save space.
Figures: Line drawings for text figures should be in black ink on white paper, tracing paper or plastic etc. They should be on a scale to permit reduction to half their original size. Lettering and symbols should be indicated in pencil preferably on a photo-copy or overlay. Care should be taken that lettering and symbols are correct. Captions should be typed on a separate sheet. Electronic images should be saved at a high resolution (300.600dpi minimum). Figures should not be taken from the Web: they will have been saved at a low resolution (i.e. at about 72dpi), which is fine for viewing on-screen, but not high enough for printing.
Abbreviations: in the text should be used sparingly and should be explained at the first occurrence. Abbreviations and other conventions (capitals, italics, symbols) should be used consistently throughout the paper, and typed without full points. Thus: GNP. Per cent is preferred to % (unless used frequently).
Measurement: Metric units are preferred except where historical accuracy demands otherwise.
Headings and Sub-headings: should be used to make the text more accessible to the reader.
