About the journal
The Polynesian Society is a non-profit organization based at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. Founded in 1892, the Society's aim was the scholarly study of past and present New Zealand Myori and other Pacific Island peoples and cultures. It has pursued this aim primarily through the Journal of the Polynesian Society, a quarterly publication begun at the Society's inception and enduring to the present.
The early issues of the Journal contain a rich repository of indigenous texts and traditions contributed by Pacific peoples, as well as by missionaries and other sojourners, often published in local languages with English translations. Among the scholars who have long contributed articles to the Journal are social/cultural anthropologists, archaeologists, historians, linguists and physical/biological anthropologists working in Micronesia and Melanesia, as well as Polynesia. More recently they have been joined by sociologists, political scientists, economists and other scholars .
Early editors of the Journal of the Polynesian Society were S. Percy Smith, W.H. Skinner and Elsdon Best. Since the mid-1950s most editors have been associated with the Anthropology Department of the University of Auckland, among them Jack Golson, Bruce G. Biggs, Murray Groves, Antony Hooper, Mervyn McLean, Geoff Irwin, Richard Moyle and Judith Huntsman, who is the present editor
The University of Auckland Library and the Polynesian Society have collaborated in initiating the Online Journal. The project will progressively digitise the first 100 years of the Journal, from 1892-1991.
Instructions to Authors
Style and Formatting Instructions to Authors
The Journal of the Polynesian Society is published quarterly and includes main articles, shorter communications (5000words or less), correspondence and book reviews. There is no set word limit for main articles. Book reviews are solicited by the Book Review Editor. Manuscript submission and assessment
Two hard copies and one electronic copy of a manuscript for consideration should be submitted (including a photocopies of all artwork) to: The Editor, Journal of Polynesian Society, Department of Anthropology, University of Auckland, Private Bag 92019, Auckland 1, New Zealand. Each manuscript is assessed by qualified referees. Assessment is usually completed within at least three months after receipt of a manuscript, but may take longer in particular circumstances. Unsuitable manuscripts will not be returned to the author except on request.
Submission of accepted manuscript
When manuscripts have been accepted for publication, authors are asked to provide an electronic copy in the format specified herein, either on disc or sent as an e-mail attachment, and identical hard copy. Please save your electronic copy either as a Microsoft Word document or, if this is not accessible, in RTF (Rich Text Format). Please make sure you follow the instructions of the House Style in submitting your final manuscript.
Proofs
Edited manuscripts are usually sent to authors by post or email for their approval. When changes are minimal or only concern format, editors may simply correspond with authors. Printer's proofs are not normally sent to authors for checking. They are carefully scrutinised in house.
HOUSE STYLE
Spelling
New Zealand spelling (which follows British spelling in most cases) is to be used throughout the manuscript and on any artwork. The word endings -ise (not -ize) and -isation (not -ization) as in 'realise' and 'civilisation', -our (not -or) as in 'honour', -re (not -er) as in 'centre' etc., are required, except as appropriate in direct quotes. (If you set 'language' style to New Zealand English, you will be prompted.)
Format
¡ñ The manuscript (including references and the separate document of endnotes) must be double spaced with margins of at least 3cm. Justify left.
¡ñ All pages should be numbered at the right bottom.
¡ñ Single quotation marks should be used for glosses, double quotation marks for direct quotations. Avoid using quotations marks to signal irony.
¡ñ Italics should be used for all non-English terms; they can be used selectively for emphasis. Do not use the bold or underline fonts for emphasis.
¡ñ Use endnotes (not footnotes) sparingly and create them as a separate document.
¡ñ Do not use the footnote or endnote functions of your word processing software.
¡ñ Do not use the Endnote™ bibliographic software or any other bibliographic software to create citations and reference lists.
¡ñ Numbering of endnotes should be in superscript, following any punctuation, e.g., island.4 Remember not to use the endnote/footnote function, instead insert the number by hand.
¡ñ Acknowledgements should be placed at the end of the main text and before the list of references.
¡ñ References to all and only works cited follow the text or the acknowledgements.
Indigenous Words and Phrases
All indigenous terms should be followed by an English gloss in single quotations marks when they first appear in the text. Subsequent use of the gloss is the preferred option, unless the indigenous term is a concept central to the paper or used frequently.
Artwork
All maps, photographs, figures, graphs, charts, etc., are designated as Figures. Tabular material appears as Tables and should be included in the text, headed by captions. The page size of the JPS is A5 (210 x 148 mm or 8 x 6 in.) and Figures and Tables must be designed so that they are accommodated on the page, taking margins into account. Numbers in Tables and text in Figures need to be readable in their final size.
Tables should be used sparingly, simply designed to avoid unnecessary lines, and have clear, concise column/row headings.
Figures may be submitted either as glossy, high contrast photographs or as jpg files high quality photocopies may be substituted in the initial submission. Figure captions should be on a separate page.
Headings
Main headings (level 2) are in small capitals, centred on the page, e.g.,
THE HUMAN ENVIRONMENT
Sub-headings (level 3) begin at the left-hand margins, and are italicised, e.g.,
Probabilities and Possibilities
The text then begins on a new line, without indent.
If further sub-headings are required they are italicised, begin at the left-hand margin and end with a full stop. The text then begins on the same line, e.g.,
Testing the Theory. A recent controversy has erupted over... [etc].
Numerals
Spell out numbers up to ten; thereafter use numerals, except at the beginning of sentences.
Dates
Note the following forms: 29 March 1989, 1840s, 1956-57. A.D. precedes the year date; B.C. follows it (e.g., from 500 B.C. to A.D. 2000).
Abbreviations
Note the punctuation of the following forms: Mr, Mrs, Dr, Rd, St, i.e., when the abbreviation ends with the letter that ends the full word there is no full stop; otherwise, a full stop should follow, e.g., the Rev., Prof., Fig. (but Figs), no., pp., etc. Also note 'e.g.,' and 'i.e.,' above.
Endnotes
Again, endnotes should be used sparingly and with discretion. Again, do not use the endnote function of your word processing programmes, but rather create the notes as a separate document.
Acknowledgements should be placed at the end of the main text and before the list of references. They must not comprise the first endnote.
Citations are embedded in the text
References to the literature should be cited in the text by name of author, year of publication/appearance, and page or pages as appropriate in one of the following forms:
(1) The standard citation form is (Jones 1976:55) or (Smith 1876:449-67). Separate multiple works in a single citation by commas, e.g., (Jones 1976:55, Smith 1876:449-67), unless semi-colons are needed to avoid ambiguity, e.g., (Jones 1976:55, 1977:108; Smith 1876:257,859). Note that there is no space after the colon or p./pp.
(2) If the citation refers to a work that has just been previously cited in the same paragraph, the form (p.34) or (pp.34-37) may be used. However, if more than one author has been cited in that paragraph, use the form set out in (1) above.
Do not in any case use ibid., op cit., passim, loc cit.
For works with two authors, cite both names; for works more than two authors, use the first author's name and et al., but provide all author's names in the list of references.
References
Again, do not use any bibliographic software such as Endnote™ for creating your citations and references. (The hidden functions of such software mess up editing and formatting to an aggravating degree.) You can easily cut and paste the information from an Endnote™ library to compile your list of references.
Avoid lengthy strings of citations at the end of sentences; references should be directly pertinent to your argument.
The following formats should be followed in listing References. Please take careful note of the spacing, capitalisation, punctuation and order of the elements.
