Notes for Contributors
There is no deadline for the submission of an article, nor are there strict guidelines with respect to the length (an average of 7.000 to 8.000 words without bibliography may serve as reference).
The journal operates in an anonymous peer-review mode. Once a contribution has been received, it will be anonymised and thereafter dispatched to independently chosen reviewers, who also will remain anonymous throughout the process.
Final acceptance of submitted articles will be decided following consideration of the reviewers’ feedback and rests solely with the editors of JSN/publishers Otjivanda Presse.Essen.
Material submitted for publication will be accepted in English only.
Submissions of articles are to be made to one of the editors by e-mail attachment in either Microsoft Word or Rich Text Format (.rtf). Receipt of all submissions will be acknowledged by email; all subsequent correspondence and editing will be conducted electronically.
Maps, photographs or other illustrations essential to the subject of the article must be print-ready.
Articles must include a brief abstract (200 words or less) and a short biography (100 words or less) with author's full name, title, current affiliation and a brief description of recent work.
Articles submitted to the journal should be original contributions and not under consideration for any other publication at the same time.
Authors of articles and reviews receive a free copy of the journal and five free offprints of their articles.
All formatting is subject to the editors' final ruling.
