C ONTRIBUTORS
Anthropological Forum welcomes submissions of manuscripts relating to all topics
discussed within the aims and scope of the journal. Please send your manuscript as an
e-mail attachment. Articles must not exceed 10,000 words including notes and
bibliography. All articles are judged on merit and are reviewed anonymously by the
Editorial Board and at least one external referee. References in book reviews should be
kept to a minimum. Please address all correspondence to: Robert Tonkinson, The
Editor, Discipline of Anthropology and Sociology, The University of Western Australia,
35 Stirling Highway, Crawley, WA 6009, Australia. Tel: +61(0)8 6488 2858; Fax: +61
(0)8 6488 1062; E-mail: tonkinso@arts.uwa.edu.au with c.c. to
ghutch@cyllene.uwa.edu.au
If your manuscript is accepted, it is likely that some revisions will be required. Please
send an electronic copy of your revised paper by e-mail, and a hard copy by post if the
paper contains any italics, underlining, special symbols, tables, figures etc. Please mark
these clearly. It is essential that the hard-copy version exactly matches the electronic
copy, so please do not change the latter in any way after printing the former.
Style
The Style Guide will be sent to authors whose manuscripts have been accepted. It is a
condition of acceptance that authors follow the Style Guide exactly.
Endnotes
Footnote text should be placed as endnotes following the end of text but prior to the
References. Footnote numbers in the text should be set as superscript, after punctuation.
References
References should appear in the text (not as footnotes), following the Chicago authordate style; for example (Sahlins 1972, 231). Please note that this differs slightly from
the style used in pre-2004 issues of Anthropological Forum. Do not use ibid, loc. cit.,
op. cit., passim.
The list of references should be arranged under References and placed at the article's
end. Do not list references that do not appear in your manuscript. Examples:
Journal Articles
Zorn, J. 1991. Making law in Papua New Guinea. Pacific Studies 14: 1-34.
Books (Monographs)
Berndt, R. 1962. An adjustment movement in Arnhem Land. Paris: Mouton.

Illustrations
Maps, figures, and tables must be submitted in final form, suitable for printing. All
should be submitted on separate pages, not inserted in the text, although a note may be
made in the text at an appropriate place (e.g. PLEASE PLACE TABLE 1 ABOUT
HERE).
Proofs will be sent to the authors by e-mail. The proofs must be corrected and returned
to the Editor within three days of receipt. Major alterations to the text cannot be
accepted.

journal issue are supplied free of charge to the corresponding author. Additional copies
of the journal may be purchased and should he ordered when the proofs are returned.
