About the journal

The Journal of Language, Literature and Culture (formerly known as AUMLA) is the journal of the Australasian Universities Language and Literature Association. For sixty years, the journal has been an important part of the academic culture of the humanities, in countries around the world but especially so in Australia and New Zealand. It aims to publish stimulating, well-written, authoritative peer-reviewed articles on all topics relevant to the broad fields of language, literature and culture. It is consciously eclectic and diverse in its range of content: works ancient and modern; all languages and literatures; and is open to a broad interpretation of text and culture. It serves a wide cross-section of interests and backgrounds, enabling the journal to place a priority on clear writing and readability. The journal is international in focus and content, and attracts contributors from universities all over the world. The journal mainly publishes articles written in English, but may also occasionally publish articles written in French or German.

Submission
All contributions should be submitted in the first instance as an email attachment in Word or Rich Text Format to the Editor, Peter Goodall (goodall@usq.edu.au).
Centring, italicized or bold text, and any other font changes should be included but otherwise limit formatting to a minimum. Please enter text in 1.5 spacing and ensure that endnotes are ‘live’, i.e. produced by the insert reference commands in the word processing program. Tables can be accommodated, but please check that they fit within page margins. Illustrations can be used, but if the image files are large it is better to send them separately The pages should be numbered throughout in the upper right-hand corner.
Articles normally should be 4000–9000 words; review articles, 4000 words; research notes and queries, 1500 words; reviews, 500–700 words per book reviewed; letters or brief notes, 300 words.
When submitting the final draft of accepted articles, the full article (complete with title, subtitles, endnotes, author’s name, affiliation and country) must be accompanied by a short abstract (c. 100-200 words) summarizing the contents of the paper. Articles should also be accompanied by up to 5-8 key words to aid searchability of the article online. Any acknowledgements should be placed at the end of the article, before any Notes. The author’s mailing address, telephone number and email address should also be provided.
Authors, or their funding agency, may sponsor an article for open access publication. For information on article charges and how to exercise this option visit www.maneypublishing.com/moreopenchoice. These notes are intended only to provide an overview. Address enquiries to the Journal Editor.
Artwork
Illustrations of all types—photographs, line drawings, maps—are particularly welcomed. They should be used wherever they contribute to the subject matter of the article. These should be submitted in separate files and numbered sequentially using arabic numerals. Each must have a caption and source. Within the text, figures and tables should be referred to by number (e.g. Figure 1; Table 1), and preferred position and groupings in the text should be clearly indicated. Images can be supplied electronically in CMYK format as TIFF or EPS files at high resolution suitable for printing. As a guideline, images should be submitted at a minimum input scanning resolution of 300 dpi for full color, 350-400 dpi for half tones, 600 dpi for slides or transparencies, 800 dpi for simple line and 1200 dpi for fine line illustrations. Please note that the final reproduction quality is dependent on the quality of the original illustration. Prior to submission, we would advise authors to print out, at roughly the size required for publication, all images supplied electronically so the hard copy image can be assessed for contrast etc.—what might be clear and legible on a full computer screen will not be the same printed out at journal text/column width or less. Captions should be submitted on a separate sheet. The author must obtain written evidence of permission to reproduce images (in all formats, in perpetuity and in all geographical regions worldwide) from the copyright owner for the use of any illustrative matter in the journal and will be liable for any fee charged by the owner of the image. The caption should include relevant credit of the permission of the copyright holder to reproduce the image.
Supplementary material
Additional material (e.g. datasets, models, animations or videos) that enhances the content and impact of articles. Supplementary material is intended to support arguments advanced in the article; it must not refer to other work nor contain discussion or conclusions that go beyond the content of the article. The inclusion of supplementary material is at the discretion of the Editor whose decision on its relevance and appropriateness is final. Supplementary material should be referred to in the main text, but must be self-contained and supplied as separate files. Refer to each item of supplementary material in parentheses within the text: (Supplementary Material 1), (Supplementary Material 2) and so forth. See the detailed instructions here on submission and presentation of supplementary material.
Styling
British spelling is used (e.g. ise not ize).
Quotations
Quotations of less than three lines should be enclosed within single inverted commas, and not underlined (except for italicising). Quotations of more than three lines should start on a new line and be indented (two tabs from the left margin) but not enclosed within inverted commas. An initial reference to or quotation from a text should be referenced by an endnote. Subsequent reference to the same text should be included parenthetically at the end of the reference.
References
Endnotes (rather than footnotes on each page) should be used. Endnote style follows the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, 5th edition (New York: MLA, 1999), 268-85. Authors should place all bibliographical references within the endnotes and not present a separate section of works cited. Examples are set out below:
Books
Stanley E. Fish, Self-Consuming Artifacts (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1972), 397.
Articles in Journals
Erin Sawyer, “Celibate Pleasures: Masculinity, Desire, and Asceticism in Augustine,” Journal of the History of Sexuality 6 (1995): 1-29.
Subsequent references to a text cited in an endnote should be included parenthetically in the article, and comprise reference to the author, title (if more than one text by the same author is cited in endnotes) and page number. Do not use abbreviations such as ibid. or op cit. For example:
(Fish, Self-Consuming 74) (Sawyer 15)
Reviews
Reviews should be headed as in the following examples:
T. Winnifrith, ed. The Poems of Charlotte Bronte. Oxford: Basil Blackwell, 1984.
Elizabeth Alvida Petroff. Essays on Medieval Women and Mysticism. New York and Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1994.
Reviews should be signed as in the following example:
Christine Smith University of New South Wales
Dates and Numerals
Dates should observe the form “12 August 1933” (no comma or “th”). Cardinal numerals up to 100 should be typed in words, e.g. “seventeenth century” not “17th century.”
Accents
Accents will normally be omitted from capital letters in French, but the Umlaut will be used on capitals in German.
Punctuation
Commas and periods that directly follow quotations go inside the closing inverted commas.
In this case, an endnote number, if required, should immediately follow the closing inverted
commas. For example:
Austen opens her novel ironically: ‘It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.’1
A parenthetic reference intervenes between the closing inverted commas and the required
punctuation. If a quotation ends with a full-stop or period, the punctuation appears after the
reference. In this case, if an endnote number were needed, it would follow the final
punctuation. For example:
Austen closes the chapter on a similarly sardonic note: ‘The business of her life was to get her daughters married; its solace was visiting and news’ (53).2
All other punctuation marks—such as semicolons, colons, question marks and exclamation
points—go outside closing inverted commas, except when they are part of the quoted
material. If a parenthetic reference is needed, it is followed by a full-stop (and then an
endnote number if necessary). For example:
Dorothea Brooke responds to her sister, ‘What a wonderful little almanac you are, Celia!’ (Eliot 7).3
Capital Letters
The following language conventions should be followed in titles and subtitles. English usage favours capitals throughout the title of a book (except for prepositions and articles). German, Spanish and Italian use capitals for the first word and other words normally capitalised. French capitalises the first word and all proper nouns.
Copyright and Ethics
It is the responsibility of authors to ensure that they comply with Maney’s copyright and ethics (including plagiarism) policies. Strong policies in these areas protect the rights of authors, editors, reviewers and publishers alike ensuring the reputation of the publication and copyright holders.
Maney’s policies can be found by reading the information available here, along with best practice guidelines for authors, journal editors and reviewers.
