Instructions to Authors
This journal uses ScholarOne Manuscripts (previously Manuscript Central) to peer review manuscript submissions. Please read the guide for ScholarOne authors before making a submission. Complete guidelines for preparing and submitting your manuscript to this journal are provided below.
Submission of articles
All submissions should be made online at the Australian Journal of International Affairs Manuscript Central site. New users should first create an account. Once a user is logged onto the site submissions should be made via the Author Centre.
Authors should prepare and upload two versions of their manuscript. One should be a complete text, while in the second all document information identifying the author should be removed from files to allow them to be sent anonymously to referees. When uploading files authors will then be able to define the non-anonymous version as "File not for review".
Articles should be between 5000 and 7000 words, Book Notes should be between 100 and 300 words, Book Reviews between 600 and 800 words and Review Essays between 3000 and 5000 words; any manuscripts exceeding these limits will not be accepted for publication. Articles are sent for anonymous peer review by two referees. Authors must ensure that they cannot be identified by statements in the text or by footnotes in the manuscript submitted for review. The author's name and contact details should appear at the beginning of the manuscript on a separate title page. Manuscripts should conform with the Journal's style (see below).
Articles accepted for publication
If you have written an article which has been accepted by the Editor for publication in the Australian Journal of International Affairs, it will greatly expedite the process of publication and minimise the risk of errors appearing if you observe the following requests.
All articles are copy edited in house to ensure consistency with Journal style and formatted for transmission to the publishers in the UK. After this sub-editing, each article is sent to the publishers electronically. Unfortunately, this sometimes creates difficulties. For example, if tables are converted to 'rtf', they almost always get distorted in transmission. Also, the publishers cannot accept text with tables, figures or diagrams embedded in it. So please help us to avoid problems with your article in the following ways.
1. Word-processor application Please use either MSWord for Windows or WordPerfect for Windows. Please also ensure before you start typing that the 'language' is set to Australian English.
2. Tables, diagrams and figures The text must clearly show where these are to appear. Simply type
[Table 1 here]
or whatever it may be, at the appropriate place.
The tables, figures or diagrams themselves must be provided in a separate word-processor document, with each table etc. clearly identified and on a separate page. Please present them in MSWord for Windows and not in rtf.
3. Notes Keep notes to the minimum; if you feel they are essential, please consider including them in the text within parenthesis. Failing this, signal each note in sequence by typing at the appropriate place in the text a number in square brackets like this: [2]. (Do not use your word-processor's system for automatically creating endnotes). Having placed the number in the text, as shown, go to the bottom of your text and type the note; then return to where the number is and carry on.
4. References The Journal uses the Harvard system of referencing. For example:
Cha, Victor, 1999. Alignment despite antagonism: The US-Korea-Japan security triangle (Stanford: Stanford University Press).
Cossa, Ralph, 2004. 'Multilateralism and democracy march on, to many different drummers', Comparative Connections, 6(2): 1-26.
Cossa, Ralph A., 2003. 'US approaches to multilateral security and economic organizations in the Asia-Pacific', in Rosemary Foot, S. Neil MacFarlane and Michael Mastanduno (eds), US hegemony and international organizations (Oxford: Oxford University Press), 193-214.
References within the text must appear in parentheses, e.g. (Smith et al. 2002). The list of references must appear at the end of the document, after any notes you may make. The style for references can be seen in any recent issue of the Journal. Please make sure (a) that all references noted in the text are given in full in the final references list and (b) that the list of references does not include anything that has not been signalled in the text.
5. Format Keep the format to straight text. Do not embellish it with borders, font changes, headers, footers, numbered paragraphs and so on. These all have to be removed before the document can be prepared for the printer, so there is no point in putting them in (and sometimes they are difficult to extract). In particular, avoid using MSWord 'styles'. Do not generate lists with computer-provided dot-points. To indicate a list, simply start each new line with a full stop and a space like this: . tomatoes; . onions; . potatoes; and . capsicums.
In the text, by all means use bold or italic type, capital letters and so on to indicate emphasis or to head sections.
6. Additional matter
(a) Please supply with your article an abstract of approximately 200 words.
(b) The Journal no longer gives the affiliation of authors at the head of their articles. Instead there is a section entitled 'Notes on our contributors'. Please supply with your article a brief biographical note for inclusion in this section.
(c) Free article access: Corresponding authors can receive 50 free reprints, free online access to their article through our website (www.informaworld.com) and a complimentary copy of the issue containing their article. Complimentary reprints are available through Rightslink® and additional reprints can be ordered through Rightslink® when proofs are received. If you have any queries, please contact our reprints department at reprints@tandf.co.uk
Proofs It will be assumed that the text as you transmit it to the Editorial Manager is what you want to have printed. Once copy-edited, your text will be emailed back for your approval. Proofs are not sent to the authors but returned by the publishers to the Editorial Manager for checking.
Copyright: It is a condition of publication that authors assign copyright or licence the publication rights in their articles, including abstracts, to the Australian Institute of International Affairs. This enables us to ensure full copyright protection and to disseminate the article, and of course the Journal, to the widest possible readership in print and electronic formats as appropriate. Authors retain many rights under the Taylor & Francis rights policies, which can be found at www.informaworld.com/authors_journals_copyright_position. Authors are themselves responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce copyright material from other sources.
Your cooperation is much appreciated and will help to ensure that your article is published as it should be. If you have any queries about the matters listed above, please contact the Editorial Manager, Tracey Arklay, by e-mail to t.arklay@griffith.edu.au or by phone +61(0) 7 3735 4247.
