Instructions to Authors
The Contemporary Pacific welcomes scholarly articles on contemporary issues of concern in the Pacific Islands. Articles on such issues as urbanization, culture change, decolonization, dependency, and social and health problems are sought, along with articles addressing such topics as cultural movements, ethnic relations, contemporary history, regional cooperation, migration, population pressure, protection of the environment, and strategic and security concerns. Articles relating to earlier periods in Pacific Islands history, on other regions, or of a more theoretical nature, will be considered if they help to illuminate contemporary issues and concerns within the region. All articles published in the journal are refereed. The Editorial Board encourages articles that draw on the literature of more than one discipline.
Submissions must be original works not previously published and not under consideration or scheduled for publication by another publisher. Manuscripts should be 8,000 to 10,000 words, or no more than 40 double-spaced pages, including references. Editorial style follows the 15th edition of The Chicago Manual of Style (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2003), as implemented in current issues of The Contemporary Pacific. Spelling follows Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary (11th ed, 2003). Detailed guidelines for manuscript preparation and style are provided below.

MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION
Use a letter-quality printer and one side only of 8.5 by 11 inch or A4 nonerasable paper, allowing 1-inch margins on all sides. Double-space everything, including references and notes (if any). Use just one font (Times or Courier preferred) and type size throughout. Do NOT justify the right margin and do NOT use underlining. Number all pages. Each paper must include a reference list, an abstract, and keywords in addition to text. Illustrations (and brief credits) are encouraged. Notes are discouraged. See also COVER SHEET, ELECTRONIC MANUSCRIPT, SUBMISSIONS.
MAPS, ILLUSTRATIONS, and PHOTOGRAPHS
Submit hard copy sketches or photocopies; do not submit originals or electronic versions until article is accepted.
MEASUREMENTS
Use metric units. US equivalents may be given in parentheses. Spell out units of measurement in text: 10 hectares (25 acres), 35 kilometers (22 miles). See also NUMBERS.
MONEY
Always specify the currency. For units other than American dollars, provide US equivalents if practicable. To avoid confusion, use A$ for Australian currency, US$ for American; note that the type of currency precedes the symbol: A$400 (US$300), ??500 (US$250), F$7 million, SI$1,000, $12-15 million.
NON-ENGLISH WORDS
Unless advised otherwise, the journal will not use italics for non-English words. But if authors prefer to use italics their wishes will be respected. Glosses, whether in English or another language, appear in parentheses rather than in quotation marks: mai (come); cannibals (liet).
NOTES
Notes must be kept to a minimum, preferably none. Incorporate in text if possible, or drop them. Type them as endnotes, not footnotes, double-spaced, following the text and preceding the reference list.
NUMBERS
Spell out numerals under 101 (except when comparing with larger numbers). Also spell out isolated large round numbers (about four thousand years, two hundred canoes), and inexact sums of money (nearly six million dollars). Useuse arabic numerals where many numbers occur in a paragraph, and for percentages, exact large numbers, or degrees: 10 percent, 4,123, 7¡ãN (latitude).
PERMISSIONS
The author is responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce lengthy quoted material, or illustrations. Copies of permission letters will be required prior to publication. In case of difficulty, contact the managing editor.
PLACE NAMES
Names in current use in the islands are preferred. Refer to Lee S Motteler Pacific Island Names (Honolulu: Bishop Museum Press, 1986); the latest (17th) edition of Pacific Islands Year Book (Suva: Fiji Times, 1994); or The Pacific Islands: An Encyclopedia (Honolulu: University of Hawai¡®i Press, 2000).
PUBLICATION AGREEMENT
UH Press requires us to obtain a signed publication agreement from each contributor. These are mailed to authors of articles and dialogue when their copy-edited manuscripts are returned for review; to authors of political reviews, resources items, and book or media reviews when the essay is commissioned. If the signed publication agreement is not received by press time, the item will be dropped.
PUNCTUATION
Use serial comma: Polynesia, Melanesia, and Micronesia. Use double quotation marks around short quotes (under ten lines); place punctuation (except semicolon) inside closing double quotation marks. See also CITATIONS and REFERENCES.
QUOTATIONS
Passages of more than TEN typed lines may be indented as block quotations without quotation marks. Shorter items are run into the text, in double quotation marks. Spelling and punctuation must be copied exactly from the original. Include page numbers in citations accompanying quotations: (Davidson 1970, 21). Type quotations in the same format as the rest of the document: double spaced, same margins and font size.
REFERENCES
Arrange references in a single list, alphabetized by last name of first author of each work. Invert name of first author only. Copy full publication details from title page of each work cited, setting out and punctuating as in examples here. Double-space within and between entries. Works by same author are arranged chronologically, beginning with earliest. Multiple works by same author jointly with others are arranged alphabetically by last name of first author, then second or later authors, regardless of number of authors. List ALL joint authors; same for editors and joint editors. Works edited by same person follow works authored. Order works published in same year by same author(s) alphabetically by title and distinguish with letters a, b, etc. See also CITATIONS.
