Ethnos publishes original papers that promote theoretical, methodological and empirical developments within the discipline of socio-cultural anthropology.

Papers submitted for publication are normally read by four outside referees as well as by the two editors in chief. This also applies to special theme issues.

Ethnos refereeing system is highly efficient. A decision on the acceptability of an article will usually be sent to authors within two months of submission. Articles submitted to Ethnos should not be currently under consideration by any other journal or edited book.

Authors submitting a manuscript do so on the understanding that exclusive copy-right is assigned to the journal. Authors will be provided with a copy of the journal and 25 offprints of their paper. Authors remain free to use the material contained in the paper in other self-authored works.

The views expressed by the authors are not necessarily those of the editors. Authors are invited to suggest potential reviewers of their papers, but the editors will not be bound by these suggestions.

Submission Guidelines

Manuscripts submitted for review should be written on one side of a page, in double- spaced format with liberal margins. Manuscripts should not exceed 9,000 words, including notes.

All submissions should be made online at the Ethnos Manuscript Central site. New users should first create an account. Once a user is logged onto the site submissions should be made via the Author Centre.

Authors should prepare and upload two versions of their manuscript. One should be a complete text, while in the second all document information identifying the author should be removed from files to allow them to be sent anonymously to referees. When uploading files authors will then be able to define the non-anonymous version as “File not for review”.

Original drawings and photographs are welcome and must be of high quality. An abstract of the article, not exceeding 150 words, must accompany the manuscript. The abstract should end with a bracketed list of 3 to 5 key words, suitable for indexing and online search purposes.

Footnotes should be placed at the end of the article. Acknowledgments should not be included in the footnotes but should appear as a separate paragraph following the main text.

References should be formatted according to the Ethnos style, e.g. Wenslow, Conrad & Daphne Jefferson (eds). 1994. Reinventing Anthropology. London: Althone Press. 321 pp. All items cited in the text - and only those items - are to be included in the list of references.
