Instructions to authors..../ Instructions aux auteurs....
Editorial policy
Contributions to Historia on aspects of South African
history, methodology, historiography as well as reviews and
review articles in either Afrikaans or English will be welcomed.
Opinions expressed are those of the authors and are not
necessarily those of the editorial board or the Historical
Association. Articles submitted, should also be accompanied by a
brief CV with the following information: Institutional
connection; most recent publication; research author is currently
conducting; and E-mail address. Historia appears twice
annually in May and November.
Submission of manuscripts
Manuscripts may be submitted electronically to [email protected].
It is also
possible to submit manuscripts in the customary manner. If
possible, articles should be prepared on an IBM DOS or WINDOWS
compatible word-processing programme. All copy, including
quotations and footnotes, should be in single-spaced format.
Submissions on 3_” stiffies should be accompanied by three
hard-copy printouts. Our preferred programme is MSWord. If other
programmes are used, embedded codes should be avoided. For
example, right-hand justification and word-breaks (hyphens
breaking words at the end of the line) should not be used.
Contributions should be printed in ordinary courier type; the use
of different fonts should be avoided.
Layout and length of manuscripts
Manuscripts should be typed in single spacing on one side only of
A4 sheets with margins of 2.5 cm on each side.
Title page
The first page of the manuscript should contain the following:
Title of the contribution (not exceeding 15 words), name of
author and name and address of institution with which the author
is associated, or the author's postal address.
Abstracts
Short abstracts of the article (not exceeding 200 words) in both
English and Afrikaans should accompany the manuscript. In the
case of the abstract in the language other than that of the
article, a translation of the title should serve as a starting
point for the abstract.
References
The reference technique should follow the example of current
issues of Historia. References should be placed at the
bottom of each page.
Illustrations
Illustrations (including photographs, sketches, tables, maps)
should be numbered consecutively (for example Illustrations 1-3).
All figures should be identified clearly on the back. Captions
should also be typed in the correct order on a separate sheet.
The origin (photographer, artist, depository, source) of
illustration should be mentioned. The appropriate positioning of
figures should be indicated in the text.
Copyright
Copyright on all published material in Historia rests with
the Historical Association of South Africa.
