About the journal
The Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute is the principal journal of the oldest anthropological organization in the world. It has attracted and inspired some of the world's greatest thinkers. International in scope, it presents accessible papers aimed at a broad anthropological readership. The Journal provides an important forum for 'anthropology as a whole', embracing social anthropology, archaeology, biological anthropology and the study of material culture. It is also acclaimed for its extensive book review section, and it publishes a bibliography of books received.
Instructions to Authors
The Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute welcomes the submission of papers of no more than 10,000 words (inclusive of abstract, notes, and bibliography) on any branch of anthropology.
Contributors should aim to present their material in a form that is accessible to a broad anthropological readership. Submissions are considered for publication on the understanding that the author offers the Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute an exclusive option to publish and that the paper is not currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. This should be confirmed in an email to the Editor (jrai@kent.ac.uk) at the time of submission. It is the responsibility of the author to obtain permission for using previously published tables, figures, illustrations, and quotations (where these are extensive, i.e. a quote of over 400 words from a source or a series of quotations of over 800 words in total from a single source). Photographs taken by anyone other than the author will also require permissions. The publisher will not be able to include such items unless permission has been secured. This can sometimes be a lengthy business, and so permission should be sought at the earliest opportunity. The views expressed in papers are those of the authors and not necessarily those of the Royal Anthropological Institute or its officers.
To facilitate the efficient handling of papers, the following conventions must be observed:
- Articles should, wherever possible, be submitted electronically via Editorial Manager at http://jrai.editorialmanager.com, where instructions will be found to guide authors through the submission process. Those unable to submit in this manner should post two copies of their paper to the Editor via the Royal Anthropological Institute
at 50 Fitzroy Street, London W1T 5BT, United Kingdom. Shorter notes, correspondence, and comment should be emailed to jrai@kent.ac.uk or posted to the Editor via the Royal Anthropological Institute. Book Reviews should be directed to the Reviews Editor either electronically at admin@therai.org.uk or via the Royal Anthropological Institute.
- Papers should be written in good English. Papers in sub-standard English will be returned to authors.
- Manuscripts should be double-spaced (including notes and indented material) in A4 format with a 5 cm margin at the left-hand side. Notes and references should also be double-spaced, on separate pages at the end of the article. Acknowledgements, credits, and grant numbers should form an unnumbered note at the end of the text. Editorial Manager facilitates submissions in rtf, doc, and wpd formats; submissions should not be made as pdfs.
- Bibliographical references should be cited in the text by the author's last name, date of publication, and page, e.g. (Firth 1954: 285) or, if the author's name is mentioned in the text, by the date and page reference only, e.g. (1954: 285). Every quotation must be page referenced as must be references to sections of texts in which specific concepts, debates, or ethnographic examples are discussed. Entries in the references should be in alphabetical order of authors and should include the following: name and initials (not full given names) of author(s), date, title, and (for books) place of publication as well as, if published in 1901 or after, name of publisher. For articles the name of journal should be provided in full with the volume number (arabic numbers to be used throughout) and pagination. Include both volume and issue number only where a journal is paginated by issue rather than in one sequence across the volume. Always include pagination for chapters within books. Translators should be credited for translated works. Where the original date of publication differs significantly from the date of the edition being cited, the date of original publication should also be included in square brackets.

Papers with improperly prepared notes and bibliographies will be returned to authors for correction.
- Paragraphs must be separated by a double hard return. Single quotation marks should be used for quotations in the text, double marks for quotations within quotations. The journal follows UK punctuation conventions. Note also that the journal uses serial commas (i.e. red, white, and blue, rather than red, white and blue - references and quotations are excepted here).
- The journal follows UK spelling (except for quotations from US sources), but the -ize variant, i.e. organize not organise, etc.
Quotations of more than fifty words should be set off with a double hard return and indented. Foreign words (except proper names) should be italicized.
- Photographs, tables, figures, and other illustrations should be on separate pages, numbered and titled. Photographs should be in black and white; tables, figures, and line artwork should be presented with black ink on a white background. When submitting a paper in hard copy for consideration please provide such materials in low-resolution format or as photocopies. If accepted, final higher-resolution or original copies will be requested. Illustrations submitted electronically should be in 300 dpi format (either tif or jpeg) and accompanied by a separate file of captions. A floppy disk or CD with the illustrations and their captions in the above formats should be posted to the editor via the Royal Anthropological Institute after the paper has been accepted.
- Each article must include a 25-50 word 'note on contributor(s)' together will full institutional address details (including email address). In addition, an abstract of 100-50 words should be provided. The abstract will be printed in English but should also be suitable for translation into French (a French abstract follows each article).
Authors of papers will be required to assign copyright to the Royal Anthropological Institute. Copyright assignment is a condition of publication and papers will not be passed to the publisher for production unless copyright has been assigned. To assist authors an appropriate copyright assignment form will be supplied by the editorial office, or can be downloaded from here. Government employees need to complete the author warranty sections, although copyright in such cases does not need to be assigned. The copyright assignment form should be signed and returned by post to Blackwell's at the address listed on the form; it should not be posted to the editor.
Page proofs of articles will be sent to authors, who must return them before the date indicated; where proofs are not received in time, the editor's own corrected proof will be sent to the printers. Proofs are intended for checking, not re-writing, and authors are most strongly reminded that material must be submitted which is ready for the printer. Alterations at proof stage are accepted only at the discretion of the Editor and their cost will have to be met by the author. Proofs of correspondence, shorter notes, comments, announcements, and book reviews will not normally be sent out. The
Editor reserves the right to shorten correspondence.
The corresponding author will receive an email alert containing a link to a web site. A working email address must therefore be provided for the corresponding author. This stage must not be used as an opportunity to revise the paper, because alterations are extremely costly; extensive changes will be charged to the author and will probably result in the article being delayed to a later issue. Speedy return of corrected proofs is important. The proof can be downloaded as a PDF (portable document format) file from this site. Acrobat Reader will be required in order to read this file. This software can be downloaded (free of charge) from the following web site: www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html. This will enable the file to be opened, read on screen and printed out in order for any corrections to be added. Further instructions will be sent with the proof.
Offprints from the JRAI are supplied in pdf format only.
Requests for permission to reproduce articles or sections of articles from the Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute should be addressed to the Journals Rights Department of Blackwell Publishing (JRAI, Permissions Team, Blackwell Publishing, 9600 Garsington Road, Oxford OX4 2DQ or journalsrights@oxon.blackwellpublishing.com). Permission is not normally granted until two years have elapsed since the date of publication. Permission to translate into other languages is normally granted immediately.
