We invite readers to submit manuscripts or recommend subjects which they would like to see discussed in Caribbean Quarterly. Articles of Caribbean relevance will be gratefully received
Manuscripts
Manuscripts can be submitted by email or on CD rom in a named word processing format. All formatting should be kept to a minimum.
If a CD rom is submitted a hard copy should accompany it. The manuscript (hard copy) should be typed on one side only, double-spaced, leaving ample margin for editorial purposes. Two copies thoroughly revised with no corrections should be sent. As a general principle, articles should not exceed 7,500 words. Authors are advised to keep an exact copy of the version submitted.
Manuscripts should be presented with only the title and the author’s name and address on a cover page.
The title without the author’s name should be repeated on page I of the article.
With their articles, contributors should also include information on themselves, of their positions and affiliations at the time of writing.
An Abstract should also accompany the article.
Sub-titles (cross-heads) should be used to divide the text in such a way that they indicate to the reader the structure of the article. Sub-titles should be typed in initial upper and lower-case letters.
Notes : Notes should be kept to a minimum, but where they are included contributors are requested to comply with the system used in Caribbean Quarterly. (A.P.A.)
Notes are to be numbered consecutively by means of superior figure 1 onwards (not renumbered on every page).
Notes should appear at the end of the article instead of on the page on which they occur.
Authors, should provide, in a first reference to a given publication, the full name of the author, the complete main title of the work, place and date of publication and the relevant page numbers. Subsequent references to the same work can be given in a shortened form.
Tables, Charts, Mathematical Copy : If tables are typed on separate pages their preferred position in the text must be indicated. Mathematical copy must be clearly set out and correctly aligned. All illustrations(no colours) should be provided in camera-ready form.
