Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.
  • The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
  • The submission file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or RTF document file format.
  • Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
  • The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
  • The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines.

Author Guidelines

Articles should not be longer than 5000 words. The preferred length is 2500 – 4500 words. They should be clearly written and broadly accessible. Please keep jargon, references, notes and graphs to a minimum. Writers are responsible for the accuracy of their citations and for following “fair use” principles. The author’s name, contact details and a brief biographical statement should be entered when registering on the website. [i.e. the author's name should not be on the title page (or recorded in the 'file properties') to ensure the integrity of the blind peer-review].

 

The referencing is Harvard style –(surname, date) should appear in the main text. Each direct quotation must be accompanied by a reference containing a page number. The full reference is listed under References at the end. Please ensure that references are complete, and that all of the references cited in the text are included in the references list. All items should be listed in alphabetical order in the reference list. Items by the same author should be listed in chronological order.

 

References to electronic material should provide the correct URL, date when item was accessed, plus any identifying information. The onus is on the author(s) to check the URL is a live and accurate link before submission of the article.

 

In compliance with the Harvard referencing style, New Agenda uses endnotes, not footnotes, numbered in the text using arabic numerals. Endnotes must be used only when necessary, to provide essential supplementary information – not references, except where additional reading is recommended as in: See author, year of publication. Title of article or publication, place of publication/publisher, pp .XX.

 

Book reviews:

 

We carry brief informative book reviews (+/-500 words) and longer review articles of 1000-1500 words. Reviews should include full title and author information, plus publisher, date of publication and number of pages. We often receive review copies of new books. Please contact us for available titles.
