Style
It would be helpful if contributors were to bear in mind the following points:
1. Quotations: Use single quotation marks.
2. Figures: All figures, tables, charts and musical examples should be referred to as 'Figures', numbered successively and referred to in the text.
3. Spelling and terminology: UK spelling and usage will be employed.
4. Initial capital letters: Use upper case as seldom as possible in bibliographies, mostly as initial letters in proper nouns and in journal titles. In the text, use upper case in referring to 'Figure 3', and lower case for 'section 1.2', 'verse 2' etc.
5. Numerals: Use elided numbers for pages and dates, e.g. 25-8, 136-42, but 12-16; 1980-81, 1914-18. Use numerals for percentages, measurements and for ages e.g. 25%, 12Km, 5m, 10 years old. For other numbers in text, write out in full between one and ten; thereafter use numerals.
6. Italics: Use mainly for book titles and foreign words and phrases. Do not italicize et al., e.g., c., i.e., ibid and similar short elements
7. Footnotes: Keep footnotes to a minimum by including materials within the text where possible.
8. References: should be cited within the text, listing author's last name, year of publication and page number, e.g. (Blacking 1973, 52); where an authors name has just been cited in the text, references need to be made only to date and page, e.g. (1973;52). Two works of identical date by one author should be distinguished as, e.g., 1987a and 1987b. Avoid the expressions op. cit. and loc. cit. Full references should be given on a separate sheet, alphabetically by author and chronologically for each author, using the style shown below, giving authors' full names, publishers' names for books, and page numbers for articles and book chapters. Please see following examples:
