Instructions to Authors
Editorial Policy
The Journal of Latin American Studies is published four times a year, in February, May, August and November. Its editorial offices are located at the Institute for the Study of the Americas, University of London. The editorial board comprises area studies specialists based in the United Kingdom from all the principal social science disciplines, including history.
The Journal aims to publish recent research in the field of Latin American studies in economics, geography, politics, international relations, sociology, social anthropology, and history. Articles on literature and the arts are not normally included, but the editors are pleased to consider contributions in the field of intellectual and cultural history. Articles with an inter-disciplinary approach are particularly welcome.
Manuscript Submission
Articles submitted to the Journal should be original contributions. They should not be under consideration by another journal, nor have been published or be awaiting publication elsewhere. Translations of articles that have already been published will not be accepted. If an author is publishing a closely related article elsewhere, this fact should be stated in a cover note to the editors. Authors of articles published in the journal assign copyright to Cambridge University Press (with certain rights reserved) and will receive a copyright assignment form for signature on acceptance of their paper.
Articles must be no longer than 12,000 words, including footnotes, tables etc. The Journal is published in English, but articles may also be submitted in Spanish or Portuguese for peer review; if accepted for publication, the responsibility for translating articles rests with the author. The Journal’s preference is that manuscripts should be submitted electronically as a Word document, with double spacing throughout and margins of at least one inch all round. All pages must be numbered consecutively. In order to ensure the anonymity of the reviewing process, care should be taken to ensure that any references which might identify the author are removed from the text. The title page should be separate from the main body of the text and include the author’s name, academic post and institutional affiliation, the title of the article, and brief acknowledgements. An abstract of no more than 100 words, together with a list of key words, should appear at the beginning of the article.
The Journal publishes commissioned book reviews in each issue. Not all books received can be reviewed and editorial policy gives preference to reviews of books regarded as of
major importance for the disciplines covered by the Journal. Unsolicited reviews cannot be considered.
Contributors are responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce any material in which they do not own copyright, to be used in both print and electronic media, and for ensuring that the appropriate acknowledgements are included in their manuscript.
Articles for consideration and all editorial correspondence should be addressed to: The Editors, Journal of Latin American Studies, Institute for the Study of the Americas, 31 Tavistock Square, London WC1H 9HA, UK, and sent to <jlas@sas.ac.uk>.
Proofs
Proofs of accepted articles will be sent to authors as pdf files for checking and correction of typesetting errors. Typographical or factual errors only may be changed at proof stage. The publisher reserves the right to charge authors for correction of non-typographical errors.
Offprints
Contributors will receive a pdf file of their article and a copy of the issue in which their article appears.
Style Sheet
Manuscripts should conform to the house style of the Journal. Particular attention is drawn to the following points.
Spelling and punctuation. British conventions are used throughout (except in direct quotation); i.e. programme, not program (except for computer programs); neighbour, not neighbor; travelled, not traveled, etc.; also -ise, not -ize; -isation, not -ization. Punctuation follows the British system. Punctuation at the end of a quotation follows the quotation marks unless the quoted matter is a complete sentence.
Non-English words should be italicised only if they are not in common use in English. Names of foreign organisations, government departments, companies, banks, etc. should not be italicised. Names of journals and newspapers should always be italicised. Accents must be given (especially on names and place-names), except on capital letters.
Initials and acronyms should be preceded by the full form at first mention, e.g. ‘the International Labour Organisation (ILO)? Initials such as UNRISD, ILO, etc. should be typed thus, without stops. (Note that the digraph ‘US?- without stops - is used adjectivally, as in ‘US policy? as a noun the name is spelled out, as in ‘X travelled to the United States? The Journal does not use 'America' or ‘American?as shorthand to refer to ‘the United States of America?or its citizens, but ‘the United States?and ‘the USA?are acceptable abbreviations.)
Numbers up to and including ten should always be spelled out. Dates should be thus: 25 November 1981 (without punctuation). Months should be spelled out in the text, but in footnotes March to July should be in full, and Aug. to Feb. should be abbreviated.
Quotations of less than two or three lines should be in single quotation marks. Longer quotations should be set off from the text with a line space above and below and inset without quotation marks. Quotations in Spanish and Portuguese need not necessarily be translated.
Subheadings should be used only where absolutely necessary, to indicate major divisions in the argument.
Tables, maps and diagrams should be kept to a minimum. They should be submitted on separate pages and should be clearly numbered. Tables should preferably be submitted in Excel format. Table titles should be typed above the body of the table in the form: ‘Table 1. Real earnings: blue collar workers in Santiago? Headings within the body of the table should not be underlined. No rules (lines) should be used and columns should be clearly distinguished by spacing. Sources should be given in full. Please indicate in the margin of the text the approximate position of tables and figures. Further guidelines on the preparation of maps and diagrams are available on request.
Footnotes, which must include all references, should be numbered consecutively. Footnote indicators in the text should be typed as raised Arabic numbers and follow any punctuation.
References Authors should pay particular attention to the form of references used in the Journal. All references should be included in footnotes and not in a separate bibliography. The following pattern must be observed:
Books Victor Bulmer-Thomas, The Economic History of Latin America Since Independence (Cambridge 2003), pp. 34-9.
Chapters, etc. in books Verónica Schild, ‘Engendering the New Social Citizenship in Chile: NGOs and Social Provisioning under Neo-liberalism? in Maxine Molyneux and Shahra Razavi (eds.), Gender Justice, Development and Rights (Oxford 2002), pp.170-203.
N.B. In references to books only the place and date of publication should be given, not the name of the publisher. The form "et al." is used for multiple authors/editorship. It is not italicised. Spans of numerals except numbers between ten and 19 should be elided: 126-8, 117-18
Articles Peter Wade, ‘Afro-Latin Studies. Reflections on the field? Latin American Caribbean and Ethnic Studies, Vol.1, No.1 (2006), pp.105-24.
N.B. The month of publication should be given only if it is necessary to identify a particular issue, thus: (July 1986).
Unpublished theses, etc. Esther Sánchez Botero, ‘Entre el Juez Salomón y el Díos Sira: Decisiones interculturales e interés superior del niño? unpubl. PhD diss., University of Amsterdam, 2006.
Short references Second and subsequent references should be in a suitable short form, as:
Bulmer-Thomas, The Economic History of Latin America, p. 92.
Wade, ‘Afro-Latin Studies? p.108.
N.B. The form Ibid. is only used immediately following a note referring to the same single source. The form op. cit. is not used.
