General

Articles should not be more than 8,000 words long; we prefer 4-5000 words. Reviews are normally commissioned and should not be more than 2,000 words long.

Please include your complete institutional/home address, telephone numbers, fax and email. Include short biography - up to fifty words - at the end of the article.

Please do not try and design your pages; and do not use a DTP programme under any circumstances. Stick to simple word processing programme, preferably MS Word. Use Times New Roman, 12pt, double spacing, no page numbering, no headers, no footers and no running heads.

Style

Title: Capitalised, right aligned, followed by author's name, also right aligned

Main text: left-aligned, non-justified (ragged right-hand margin)

Sub-titles (of sections) in capitals, bold and italicised.

No underlining throughout text - use italics for book/film titles, single inverted commas for chapter headings/article/poem/artwork titles.

No centring throughout text

Single space after full stops

.5cm tab for paragraph indent, no space between paragraphs

En-dash for sub-clauses - not hyphens.

Single inverted comas throughout, except when a quote appears within a quote, then use double inverted commas

Interviews: Full name of interviewer and interviewee the first time they appear in the text (in bold), thereafter initials only, no full stops or spaces between initial letters (also in bold), ie: RA As I said earlier… (two spaces after initials, before text)

Foot or margin notes numerals in text in Superscript

Notes: Author followed by title, followed by publisher, followed by city of publication, followed by date, items separated by comas. No full stop after note number, or after p, pp or ibid. Do not use the footnote or endnote facility in your word-processing program, simply add the notes at the end of the main text.

Also in main text no full stop after initials or abbreviations: ie, etc, V S Wilson

Quotes should not be indented or in italics. If there are gaps in the quote, use three dots… not brackets.

Images

Up to a maximum of five images can be submitted with the article. JPEG only, no TIF, EPS etc.

Picture captions: All slides, transparencies, photographs or digital images should be submitted with the following information, unless it already appears on the slide: artist's name, title of work - in italic, date of work, media, dimensions, collection (or place of exhibition), photo credit, ie:

Lani Maestro, Cradle, 1996, cheesecloth, sisal strings, palm mats, 1618 x 964cm, collection of the artist, photo: Ronald Dobson (no full stop at end of caption)

When an article is on the work of a single artist, and there is no work by other artists reproduced in the article, the caption for each photograph should not bear the artist's name.

Do not leave one line space between paragraphs, indent paragraphs by .5cm.

Do not indent first paragraph, or first paragraph of a new section, leave one line space before a new section.

Use English spelling rule, ie: realise, not realize. Labour, not labor. Colour, not color. Catalogue, not catalog, programme, not program.

Full stops should be followed by one space, not two.

Quotes under thirty words are placed in the body of the text 'in single quotation marks'. Quotes over thirty words should be separated from the pain text by one line space above and one line space below, do not indent or uses a different point size.

Do not use bold for emphasis, always use italics.

Use single quotation marks unless there is a quote within a quote, eg: 'Grammar should be "particular" in all cases.'

'If the quote is a complete sentence, the full stop should go inside the closing quotation mark.'

But 'if it is part of a sentence, no matter how many phrases, the full stop should go outside the closing quotation mark'.

'When a quote is broken', he said, 'always put the comma outside the first part of the quote.'

Use En-dashes – for sub-quotes, (with a space on each side of the En-dash), not Em-dashes — or hyphens -
