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 manuscript has not been previously published or has been submitted to another journal.
  • The manuscript file is in Microsoft Word or Wordf Perfect format.
  • When possible DOI or URL is part of the reference.
  • The text is single spaced in a 12-point font and uses italicisation rather than underlining for emphasis (except in URLs); all illustrations, figures, and tables are arranged so that they appear in their approximately intended locations in the text rather than at the end.
  • The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements compiled in Authors Guidelines below.
  • Anonymous review is ensured when the manuscript is submitted for review in the journal.

Author Guidelines

Submissions must be no more than 12,000 words and sent to the editor-in-chief (see link for contact details). The journal has two sections: a scholarly section where contributions are peer-reviewed by two anonymous and independent reviewers, and a popular section where contributions are reviewed by the editorial staff. The text should indicate whether it is to be peer-reviewed, or whether it is to be published in the popular science section. Pictures and other illustrations are welcome, but authors should check that these are not protected for publication. Contributions may be in English, Swedish, Danish or Norwegian. The editors do not undertake any proofreading. Therefore, the contributions should be correct and written in accordance with good writing standards.

In the texts the Harvard system for references should be applied, with references in brackets, (Smith 2007: 243). References to records and information of parenthetical character should be written in footnotes, but these should be used sparingly.

Use Times New Roman, 12 points for the main text, 11 points and indented 10 millimetres for long quotations. For footnotes, use 10 points.

The bibliography should be set up according to the following examples:
Geertz, Clifford (1980), Negara: The theater state into nineteenth-century Bali. Princeton: Princeton University Press.
Cederlöf, Gunnel (2015), ”Man and Nature”, in Henrik Agren (ed.), Perspectives in History: An Introduction to Historical Studies. Lund: Studentlitteratur, pp. 13-33.
Schapper, Antoinette (2015), ”Wallacea, a linguistic area”, Archipel 90: 99-151.

For records: find a logical system and use it consistently.

Any questions should be forwarded to the editors.
