TopAuthor Guidelines

Manuscripts should be submitted online at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/aneq. Full instructions and support are available on the site and a user ID and password can be obtained on the first visit.

If you cannot submit online, please contact the Editorial Office by e-mail at aeq@gse.upenn.edu.

Manuscripts not blinded or formatted according to AAA/AEQ style will be returned.

Manuscripts are accepted for review under the following conditions:

1. The manuscript (formatted as a Word document and blinded for anonymous peer review) should be no more than 35 pages in length (or, for Reflections from the Field or Reflections on the Field, 10-15 pages), with one-inch margins on all sides, and written in English. Page length and spacing include endnotes, references, and any tables or figures; all text should be in 12-point Times New Roman font. All elements of the manuscript (abstract, block quotes, endnotes, references, etc.) must be double spaced. The right margin should not be justified. Pages should be numbered consecutively, including endnotes, references cited, tables, and figures.
2. The same work has not been and will not be published elsewhere nor is presently submitted elsewhere, including translations. All persons listed as authors have given their approval for submission of the article. Copies of letters granting permission to reproduce illustrations, tables, or lengthy quoted passages should be included with the manuscript.
3. All author-identifying information in the body of the text, endnotes, and references must be removed.
4. Each manuscript submitted should include an abstract of 75 words and 4-5 key words.
5. The first page should contain the article title, and a short form of the title as a suggested running head (fewer than 45 characters including spaces and letters).
6. Ordinarily the past tense rather than the 'ethnographic present' is more appropriate for describing past fieldwork. It is perfectly acceptable to use first-person pronouns.
7. References cited should begin on a separate page following the endnotes. All references must be cited in text or notes. References cited must follow AAA style, as exemplified in this journal and listed on the AAA website, http://www.aaanet.org/publications/guidelines.cfm.
8. The manuscript should be written according to AAA style guidelines. For punctuation, abbreviations, grammar, compounding, and other matters of style, consult the Chicago Manual of Style (15th edition, University of Chicago Press, 1993); for spelling and hyphenation, consult Webster's Collegiate Dictionary (11th edition, 1993).
9. Tables and figures should be completely understandable independent of the text. Each table and figure must be cited in the text, given a title or caption, and consecutively numbered with Arabic numerals. Tables and figures should be included at the end of the manuscripts following the references cited.
10. Endnotes are discouraged and should be limited or eliminated.

Because AEQ is a peer-reviewed journal, manuscripts appropriate for AEQ are sent to outside reviewers. This process takes approximately four-six months.
