About the journal
Norman R. Bennett was the founder and guiding force behind the journal's growth from its first incarnation as African Historical Studies in 1968 and remained its editor for more than thirty years. The title was expanded to the International Journal of African Historical Studies in 1972, when Africana Publishers/ Holmes and Meier took over publication and distribution for the next decade. Beginning in 1982, the African Studies Center once again assumed full responsibility for production and distribution.
Members of the original editorial board in 1972 included Roy C. Bridges, George E. Brooks, Creighton Gabel, Lewis H. Gann, Graham W. Irwin, Joseph Ki-Zerbo, Marcel Luwel, Daniel F. McCall, Roger Pasquier, and Arthur T. Porter.
Jean Hay served as the journal's production editor from 1979 to 1995, and editor from 1998 to her retirement in 2005. Her years of skillful and dedicated service have been essential to the journal's success.
Instructions to Authors
To Submit an Article
We welcome article submissions in English on all aspects of African history that focus on the history of African communities through time, in Africa or elsewhere. Articles that highlight European administrators or colonial policies are best placed elsewhere, unless they deal substantially with the interactions of these administrators with (or the affect of these policies on) African societies. All manuscripts submitted for consideration will be circulated to outside readers.
We do not require that submitted articles conform to our style sheet for the purposes of evaluation. Should an article be accepted for publication in IJAHS, however, it will be the author's responsibility at that point to make whatever revisions are necessary to conform to the IJAHS style sheet.
Three copies of any proposed article, printed double-spaced and on one side of the page only, should be submitted to Michael DiBlasi, IJAHS Editor, Boston University, African Studies Center, 270 Bay State Road, Boston MA 02215. A letter should be enclosed requesting that the article be considered for publication in IJAHS, along with assurance that it is not currently under review elsewhere.
We recommend an initial query to the editor (e-mail: mdib@bu.edu) about whether a paper on a particular subject, based on evidence from certain kinds of sources, would be suitable for IJAHS. This might well save you time and effort if your article does not fit the journal's focus.
STYLE SHEET
We do not require that manuscripts submitted for consideration be formatted in any particular ways until they are accepted for publication. Below is a description of the form in which we would like to receive the final draft of your article manuscript or book review. Please follow our "house style" as closely as possible. We reserve the right either to make necessary changes ourselves or to return any material to you with the request that it be reworked according to these guidelines.
General comments on form
Articles submitted for consideration:
1. Send 3 hard copies, double-spaced, which will be sent out to readers. In addition, please submit an electronic copy (as a Microsoft Word document) via e-mail <mdib@bu.edu>.
2. Please remove your name from the first page of text and from any header or footer. (And if you're planning eventually to include an early footnote that cites you or your dissertation, please consider waiting until the article has been accepted.)
3. Attach a title page containing only the article title and the author's name and address. The first page of text should repeat the title of the paper at the top, but no name.
4. Note: We do not insist that articles under consideration meet our requirements for form. Once we have accepted your article, however, we will then expect you to make any necessary changes in form or style before returning the article to us (see next section).
5. We assume that if your article is accepted for publication and you send us a final version as an e-mail attachment that you have read and accepted these guidelines.
Revised articles accepted for publication:
1. Send us 1 hard copy, plus an electronic copy as an attached file via e-mail. Please submit the electronic copy as a Word document.
2. If you are including tables, please pull them out as a separate document called "Tables." If at all possible, please type them as text, using tabs for spacing, and not coded as "tables" in your word processing program. Sometimes tables formatted in other word processing systems make our computers crash.
3. References must be cited in footnote form. Please enter footnotes as you go along, numbered automatically, and coded as footnotes to appear at the bottom of the page, not endnotes. (It's very important if you later decide to delete a footnote, or to add a new one, that all the other notes will automatically be renumbered.)
4. Notes must be in the form of usual historical footnotes, and not in social science form. (See examples of correct footnote form below)
5. Footnote 1 must be placed in the text. An explanatory note attached to the title of the article (e.g., "An earlier version of this article was presented at . . . ") should be marked with an asterisk *.
6. Capitalization in the article text: The names of institutions are generally capitalized, but individual titles are not unless they immediately precede the name. (This is often confusing for scholars who have lived or worked in anglophone Africa, where the common usage is quite different.) Thus: governor, district commissioner, secretary of state, etc. / Governor Arnold; but: Parliament, the Foreign Office, the Department of Labor.
7. Double quotation marks are used throughout, with the single exception of noting one quote within another: "We Are the World": "The Life and Times of Someone Great," etc.
Diacritical Marks
We are unfortunately limited in our use of diacritical marks other than those built in to our word processing programs (generally those used for European languages). References to words or titles in Arabic or Yoruba, for example, would appear in a somewhat anglicized form.
Maps, Graphs, Other Artwork
Maps, graphs, line drawings, and photographs may be submitted in digital form (e.g., as PDF or JPEG files). If maps or graphs are submitted as hard copies, they must be the originals or firstquality photocopies (clear, high contrast, dark printing). These must be camera-ready and of high quality. Mark their correct position in the text, in a separate line in between paragraphs: e.g.,"Map 2 somewhere here."
*Maps, graphs, and other artwork submitted as electronic files should not include the title in the image. Instead, image titles should be submitted on a separate sheet, and this information will be added during the editing process.
General footnote form
1. Please format the titles of books and journals directly in italics, if you can do so; otherwise underline them. (Note: dissertation titles are not italicized, but are set off in quotation marks.)
2. Omit "p." and "pp." for page references (except when necessary to avoid confusion, as with certain archival materials)
3. Omit "vol." and "no." for journal articles.
4. Use author's last name and a shortened title for second and later references rather than "op. cit." or "loc. cit."
5. "Ibid." may be used only if the preceding footnote contains just one item; or if you are referring to the exact same 2 or 3 entries in the previous footnote. It does not need to be italicized.
6. Key words in the titles and subtitles of English-language books, articles, and dissertations are capitalized, even if they are lowercase in the original.
7. Capitalization in footnotes: as above in footnote text ("The monthly reports of district commissioners are found in the Public Record Office"), but citations to correspondence in archives is usually treated like a title:
1 Roy Hubener to District Officer/Thabai, 23 January 1958, CN 2/3354/67, Kenya National Archives [hereafter KNA].
8. We prefer that archival references proceed from the most specific to the most general, beginning with the specific document, then document, volume, or page number, and ending with the museum or archive.
9. For book publication data, we use city, publisher's name, and date.
