Publication Guidelines

Articles

Articles of no more than 25 pages (excluding references) typed on A4 paper, in New Times Roman, at font 11, double- spaced may be submitted for publication. Articles must be written in English. Both American and British English would be accepted provided the author has been consistent with any of the two versions. Electronic version of the articles should be in Word format and may be submitted as an e-mail attachment. Since articles shall be subjected to blind-fold refereeing process, the authors’ address and designation details should appear only on the title page. Articles shall have an abstract of not more than 200 words.

Tables and Figures

Tables and figures should have short and descriptive titles. All notes and sources to tables and figures should be placed underneath.

Referencing

The American Psychological Association (APA) referencing style shall be followed throughout the article. Full bibliographic details need to be provided and journal titles should not be abbreviated. References cited in the text should read thus: Nyange (1975: 63-4), Brown and Smith (1975, 1980). Use ‘et al’ when citing work done by more than two authors, for example, Brown et al (1980). The letters a, b, c, d, etc should be used to distinguish citations of different works by the same author in the same year, for example, Brown (1975a, 1975b). All references cited in the text should be listed alphabetically and in full after the notes using the following style:
