GuidelineS For AutHorS

Submission: Articles should not have been published elsewhere or be under consideration

for any other publication at the time. Contributions should be no longer than 8,500 words

and should be submitted as an email attachment in Word to the editor, Ibrahim Aoudé:

aoude@hawaii.edu. Authors should also include a 100-150 word abstract, outlining the

aims, scope and conclusions but not containing sentences from the article; a list of six key

words should be suggested.

Biographical information: Correspondence should include the author’s name and current

affiliation as they should appear on the journal, and contact information (email address,

day-time phone and fax numbers, and mailing address: all to remain confidential).

Format: Articles should be submitted as Word files, double-spaced and with ample mar-

gins. All pages, including those containing only tables and figures, should be numbered

consecutively.

Style: Arabic words should be transliterated in accordance with the system used by the Cat-

aloguing Service of the Library of Congress (Bulletin 91 of September 1970). Authors are

responsible for the consistency and accuracy of transliteration. Diacritical marks should be

omitted unless they are imperative to the argument. Loan-words (accepted English words

such as Quran, sheik, Shiite, Sunni) are spelled in accordance with the first choice listed

in the American Heritage Dictionary. For the submission, please employ endnotes rather

than footnotes. Endnotes should be numbered consecutively and kept to a minimum both

in number and length. Bibliographical references should be checked for accuracy. Style

guides can be found at: www.plutojournals.com/asq/

will receive a Copyright Form for signature upon acceptance of an article for publication.

Contributors are responsible for obtaining written permission to make use, in both print and

the appropriate acknowledgements are included in their manuscripts.

Proofs: The editors reserve the right to copyedit all articles accepted for publication. Proofs

will be sent by email to the authors only if essential corrections need to be made. Authors

are expected to correct and return within 48 hours.
