Aims & scope
The South African Historical Journal is fully accredited, peer reviewed and internationally regarded as a premier history journal published in South Africa, promoting significant historical scholarship on the country as well as the southern African region. As the journal of the Southern African Historical Society, it has provided a high-quality medium for original thinking about South African history and has thus shaped – and continues to contribute towards defining – the historiography of the region.
Published quarterly, the South African Historical Journal publishes a wide variety of material, encompassing issues ranging in time from those around pre-colonial communities to those pertinent to a society in transition in the early 21st century, the practice and teaching of history and debates about heritage and the commemoration of the past. It includes ground-breaking innovative research, general historical and historiographical overviews, historical debates and rejoinders, interviews with historians and reflections on their work, review articles and critical reviews of important books. It regularly publishes articles in special issues on themes such as: ‘Oral Histories in South Africa’ (2008); ‘Let’s Talk About Bantustans’ (2012); and ’Tswana History’ (2014)
All research articles published in the journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two referees. The Journal follows a ‘double-blind’ process of evaluation of material: the names of authors are not disclosed to referees, and the identities of referees are not revealed to authors. We request that our referees compile helpful reports which fully motivate their recommendation regarding publication.
The Journal is fully accredited in South Africa, it is listed in the Thomson Reuters Arts & Humanities Citation Index and its contents are accordingly cited, annotated, indexed and/or abstracted.
The Journal aims to reach out to a broad audience that includes students, lecturers, scholars, historians, and academics in the broad field of the social sciences.

Refereeing of articles
All material submitted to the Journal, including guest-edited theme features or issues, is peer-reviewed, and is evaluated by the editors, editorial board and other specialist referees. The editors endeavour to ensure that this process occurs smoothly, but assessment of articles can take a considerable length of time, and authors are requested not to make enquiries before a period of two months has elapsed after they have submitted their work.
The Journal follows a ‘double-blind’ process of evaluation of material: the names of authors are not disclosed to referees, and the identities of referees are not revealed to authors. We request that our referees compile helpful reports which fully motivate their recommendation regarding publication.
The editors may request revisions before a final decision to publish is reached.
After acceptance, authors are required to sign a publication contract, and are also required to ensure that their contribution conforms to the style and reference technique of the Journal, as set out here.
Length
Articles should be concise and should not exceed 8,000 words (excluding footnotes), except with the prior approval of the editors.
Abstract and keywords
Accepted articles should contain an abstract of up to 200 words and be accompanied by a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 10 key words. As the abstracts and key words are taken up in international abstracting indexes, as well as facilitate the citations of articles and the research of other scholars, it is important that these accurately reflect the article’s substance, main arguments and findings.
Short quotations should be indicated by single inverted commas, with double inverted commas for quotations within the main one. Quotations of more than 40 words will be indented and printed in smaller type without inverted commas and not indented.
Grammar and Style
Articles which are clearly written are preferable to dense impenetrable text. Use gender-neutral language and language free of derogatory assumptions or allusions based on race, ethnicity, religion, disability, birth or family status. The British form of words is followed: for example, learnt, centre not learned and center.
Numbers and Dates
Dates used in the text and in the footnotes should be set out fully in the form day, month and year: for example, 5 January 1812; 22 October 1896; 30 December 1958. The names of the months should not be abbreviated. For indicating page numbers and dates, use the least number of numerals possible: 52–5, 181–4; 1921–5, 1921–37. However, numbers in the teens should be fully provided:
12–14, 16–17. Numbers below 10 in the text should be written out in full: four, seven – not 4, 7. Figures should be used to indicate numbers above 10: 10, 40, 78, 174. Centuries should be written out: for example, nineteenth century, not 19th century.
References in Footnotes
The Journal uses footnotes only, no reference list is published. Footnotes should be numbered consecutively in Arabic figures. Upper-case style is used for the titles of books and articles. References to books should give the initial(s) and surname(s) of the author(s), the title in full (italicised), the place of publication, the publisher and the date of publication (within brackets), and the page(s) referred to. For example:
A. Bank, Bushmen in a Victorian World: The Remarkable Story of the Bleek-Lloyd Collection of Bushman Folklore (Cape Town: Double Storey, 2006), 66–67.
All subsequent references to the same book should use the surname(s) of the author(s) and a short title:
Bank, Bushmen in a Victorian World, 67
References to articles in books should give the initial(s) and surname(s) of the author(s), the title of the article (within single inverted commas), followed by the full details of the book:
N. Nkonyeni, ‘Da Struggle Kontinues into the 21st Century: Two Decades of Nation-Conscious Rap in Cape Town’, in S. Field, R. Meyer and F. Swanson, eds, Imagining the City: Memories and Cultures in Cape Town (Cape Town: HSRC Press, 2007), 151–172.
All subsequent references to the same source should use the author’s surname and a short title:
Nkonyeni, ‘Da Struggle Kontinues’, 162.
References to articles in journals should give the initial(s) and surname(s) of the author(s), the title of the article (within single inverted commas), the title of the journal in full (italicised), and the volume, number, date and page number(s). For example:
V. Bickford-Smith, ‘Revisiting Anglicisation in the Nineteenth Century Cape Colony’, The Journal of Imperial and Commonwealth History, 31, 2 (2003), 82–95.
Subsequent references to the same source should use the surname(s) of the author(s) and a short title:
Bickford-Smith, ‘Revisiting Anglicisation’, 92.
References to theses should give the initial(s) and surname of the author, the title of the thesis (within single inverted commas), and the degree, the university where it was awarded and the date (within brackets):
U.S. Mesthrie, ‘From Sastri to Deshmukh: The Role of the Government of India’s Representatives in South Africa, 1927–1946’ (PhD thesis, University of Natal, Durban, 1987), 160–167.
Subsequent references to the same thesis should use the author’s surname and a short title:
Mesthrie, ‘From Sastri to Deshmukh’, 182.
Archival references should indicate the archival depot, library or museum, and identify the collection or group of documents or papers:
Cape Archives (hereafter CA), Verbatim Copies (hereafter VC) 607, Doop Register der Gedoopten Christen Kinderen 1757–79, 10 July 1757
Subsequent reference to this archival group can be made as follows:
CA, VC 607, 22 November 1772.
Full stops should not be used in citing archival references; for example, use CSO, not C.S.O.
Abbreviations and short-hand references such as op. cit. and loc. sit should be avoided. Ibid. and et al. may be used where appropriate, and should be italicised. If applicable, the abbreviations ed. and eds are used, but are not bracketed.
Internet sources should be cited with the full URL and the date the site was accessed; for example:
http://www.tanap.net/-content/activities/documents/Orphan_Chamber-Cape_of_Good_Hope/index.htm, accessed 17 April 2007.
Line breaks of URLs should be avoided as far as possible.
Reviews and Review Articles
Although in most cases reviews will be solicited, the review editor will be prepared to consider unsolicited reviews. All reviews will be submitted to members of the editorial board and, if necessary, to other referees before acceptance for publication.
The details of a book should appear at the head of the review in the following form:
full title (italicised); name of author(s); place(s) of publication; publisher(s); date of publication; number of pages; and ISBN number. For example:
The African Aids Epidemic: A History. By JOHN ILIFFE. Athens, Ohio, Oxford and Cape Town: Ohio University Press, James Currey and Double Storey, 2006. x + 213 pp. ISBN 1 77013 048 9.
Reviewers of books on countries other than those in southern Africa should, wherever possible, indicate the relevance of such books for the study of South African history. Books sent out for review must be reviewed by the date stipulated. If reviews are not received by that date, the review editor may request that the book or books be returned forthwith.
A review article should be longer and more detailed than a review, and should discuss the book or books in the historiographical context of the field of study as a whole. Review articles may qualify for subsidy purposes by those attached to South African universities.
Maps, Diagrams and Photographs
Where maps, figures, graphs and photographs are presented, they must be professionally produced, and ready for photographic reproduction. Each must be separately submitted, preferably as a .jpg file. Under no circumstances should they be presented embedded in the article.
Subsidy
As the Journal is on the list of the South African Department of Education of accredited journals, it
is possible that the page costs of articles written by researchers attached to South African academic
institutions may be requested from earnings on research outputs. Authors are not expected to pay
for their articles themselves, but that they should approach their university to do so on their behalf.
Acceptance of contributions for publication does not depend, however, on the willingness of
institutions to pay.
Copyrights
It is a condition of publication that authors assign copyright or license the publication rights in their articles, including abstracts, to Southern African Historical Society. 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 here. Authors are themselves responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce copyright material from other sources.
As corresponding author, you will receive free access to your article on Taylor & Francis Online. You will be given access to the My authored works section of Taylor & Francis Online, which shows you all your published articles. You can easily view, read, and download your published articles from there. In addition, if someone has cited your article, you will be able to see this information. We are committed to promoting and increasing the visibility of your article and have provided this guidance on how you can help.
