About the journal
The AUSTRALIAN JOURNAL OF SOCIAL ISSUES is published by the Australian Social Policy Association to provide an inter-disciplinary forum for debate on significant and controversial social policy issues. It deals with questions of social justice as most broadly defined. Articles discuss particular social issues, review conceptual problems, present empirical studies and debate policy alternatives. The journal is editorially independent of the Association and the universities to which editors and contributors are affiliated.
Instructions to Authors
The Australian Journal of Social Issues is a quarterly refereed journal published by the Australian Social Policy Association (ASPA). The AJSI aims to contribute to the development of social scientific analysis of social and policy problems in Australia. Submissions presenting research on any aspect of Australian social policy are considered, including work that explores conceptual problems, presents empirical studies, or debates policy initiatives. Research within any social scientific discipline is welcome, but all submissions should be readable across disciplinary boundaries.
From time to time, and usually not more than once a year, a special issue of the Journal will appear. The Editors will call for proposals annually under the special issues policy.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS
Submission, copyright and review
Submissions should be in English and of between 5,000 and 8,000 words in length, including abstract of no more than 200 words, notes and references. Submitted articles should comply with the AJSI style, as detailed below. Please submit your article via the Journal’s electronic submission system at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ajsi. Submissions should be anonymous – contributors should be sure to remove all identifying information within the text of the article, including acknowledgments and obvious self-citations.
Authors are required to affirm that the submitted article has not been previously published in whole or in part, or is not being considered for publication elsewhere. If an earlier version of the article submitted has been available (for example, as a conference or working paper), or a related article has been, or is, intended for publication elsewhere, the cover letter to the Editors should document explicitly the details of other published versions or proposed additional publications.
Authors are also required to identify who, if anyone, provided financial support for the conduct of the research and/or preparation of submitted articles and to briefly describe the role of any funders in the design of the study; in the collection, analysis and interpretation of data; in the writing of articles; and in the decision to submit them for publication. If funding sources were not involved in decision-making in the research and publication processes, this should be stated.
Submission of an article is understood to imply that the author(s) will agree to the publication of the paper in the Journal if the paper is accepted, and that the paper is available for publication in the Journal free of charge. Authors of articles accepted for publication will be required to sign a copyright agreement granting ASPA a non-exclusive license to publish their article in journal form.
Articles accepted for review are evaluated in a double-blind review process by at least two referees. The final decision on publication rests with the editors.
Style Guide
Text should be typed in 12 point Times New Roman, and over-use of italics, boldface or capitals should be avoided. Words should only be italicised if they are to be set in italics. Line spacing should not exceed 1.5 lines; 1.2 line spacing is preferred.
Quotations of more than 40 words should be indented without quotation marks. Other quotations should be enclosed within single quotation marks. Double quotation marks should be used only as innermost quotation marks within single quotation marks or where necessary to ensure fidelity to another’s work. Quotations from interviews should also be indented without quotation marks, even if they are shorter than 40 words; and some unique identifying information about each quoted respondent will take the place of the normal in-text reference information. This identifying information should be in brackets, and italicised:
It was clear to me that the nurses were doing the best they could, but the way the system works makes it … I don’t know … quite difficult for them do really look after people the way they’d like to (Suzanne, daughter, regional area).
Sub-headings should be used to break up the text where appropriate. Main sub-headings should not be numbered, should be in sentence case (only first word capitalised), and placed against the left margin. Minor sub-headings should be treated in the same way and italicised. Further levels of headings should be avoided. Text following headings should begin on a new line.
Tables and figures should be given on separate sheets, with an indication in the manuscript where they are to appear. They should be numbered separately, in Arabic numerals, with a top caption in sentence case (first word only capitalised). All figures should be provided by the authors in camera-ready form. Such graphics should be in grayscale at a minimum of 300 dpi resolution.
Acknowledgements should be given under a final sub-heading immediately preceding the References. However, to maintain anonymity, acknowledgements should only be included after the paper has been accepted.
Endnotes should be used sparingly; wherever possible, short explanatory notes should be placed parenthetically in the text.
The Oxford English Dictionary provides the Journal’s standard for spelling. Other technical points of style include the following:
Dates: 10 January 2001 | 1995–2000, 1995–97 | 1980s | mid-1980s | 21st century
Numbers: 9,999, 10,000 | 34–35, 107–108, 110–19, 134–35
Spell out: – One to nine, digits from 10.
– Per cent, except in figures and tables or technical texts.
– Measurements (eg cm, km), except in figures, tables and technical texts (3#km).
– US, UK and state names, expect when used adjectivally (eg. NSW Parliament).
– e.g., i.e., and etc.
– TV.
References should follow the Harvard author-date system. Those in the text should give the family name of the author(s), year of publication and page number (when quoting directly or referring to a specific point) as follows:
The major improvement was in the quality of poisons used (Banks & Braes 1997a: 122).
Later studies (for example, Heathwood et al. 1995; Banks & Braes 1997b; 2001; Enquist 2010; Viorella 2010) reinforced the case for insurance law reform. Roy (1997a: 408) argues that ...
Where a reference has more than two authors, citations consist of the first name followed by ‘et al.’ unless this would cause ambiguity. However, please do not use ‘et al.’ within a sentence; a formulation such as ‘Heathwood and colleagues (1995) reinforced the case …’ is preferred. When several references are cited at once, they should be given in ascending date order; where two references were published in the same year, use alphabetical order (see example above).
When two or more works of a single author or author group were published in the same year, use ‘a’, ‘b’, and so on after the date to distinguish the works, both in the in-text reference and in the reference list. The work first mentioned in the text should be designated ‘a’.
Institutional authors can be referred to using an acronym, but the acronym should be spelt out in the reference list.
The distribution of income has become somewhat more unequal over the last two decades (ABS 2009).
Material published online should be cited using the author-date system; where there is no obvious author, the title of the page should be given in lieu and where there is no date, n.d. will suffice. Web addresses (URLs) should be not be included in in-text references, but should be given in full with the rest of the citation in the reference list. There is no need to provide the date of access.
Uptake of the new maternity leave scheme has been strong, with more than 42,000 families receiving the benefit in the first three months (Macklin 2011).
At the end of the article a list of references should be provided of all (and only) works cited in the text, under the sub-heading ‘References’. Please arrange references in alphabetical order of authors’ surnames, and chronologically for each author. Give the author’s surname, followed by initials, year of publication in parenthesis, title of work, where it appears, and publication details, as in the following examples (note also the style of capitalisation and punctuation):
