Notes for Contributors 
The African Journal of Political Science is an externally refereed journal published twice 
a year - June and December. Contributions, which may be submitted in English or French, 
should be not more than 8,000 words. The author's name, rank, institutional affiliation and 
address should be on the title page, separate from the manuscript, to ensure anonymity in 
the review process. Diagrams, graphs, etc. accompanying a manuscript should come camera 
ready to avoid delaysin production. 
All contributions should be submitted on a diskette [5 1/4" 3.5"], preferably in Microsoft 
word or WP 5.0,5.1,6.0 or 6.1 accompanied by a copy of the manuscript. 
Presentation: 
Manuscripts should be typed double spaced on A4 single-sided and page numbered. 
Paragraphs should be indented by two ems unless after a heading when they should be full 
out to the left margin. 
All headings should be left unnumbered and un-lettered. Main heading - bold, lower case 
(with initial caps) full out. Sub-heading - bold, italic, lower case (with initial caps), full out. 
E.g. 
Models of Policy Dialogue 
Corporatism 
Technocracy 
With gender, generally avoid "he" and "she" unless referring to a specific person or the sex 
of a person is relevant. Avoid "he/she." 
Numbers - spell out numbers up to ten but use figures above except for: 
A sequence of stated quantities, numbers, ages 
Percentages 
Measurements 
Money 
Decimals 
Dates- February 1981 or February 1,1981 NOT 1st of February 1981 or February 1st 1981 
1980s NOT 1980's 
Latin words and phrases in italics 
Ships - names in italics.
All references to books and articles should be identified in the text by the surname of the 
author, year of publication placed in parenthesis: e.g. (Mendy 1994: 95). If the author is 
mentioned in the sentence or section only the date of publication of the book or article and 
page reference should be given. Where there is more than one reference to the same author 
with materials published in the same year the references should be distinguished sequentially 
as for example, (Mendy 1994a: 95, 1994b: 100-120). Short quotations should be 
distinguished by the double quotation mark, but quotations of more than three lines should 
be indented and separated from the main paragraph. These do not need quotation marks. 
End Notes (no footnotes) should be kept to a minimum, numbered consecutively, and 
placed at the end of the text. This should be followed by a list of References arranged 
alphabetically, with the surname of the author first, followed by initials, date of publication, 
full title of book (in italics), place of publication and name of publisher. For journal articles, 
the authors surname and initials should precede the date of publication, full title of article, 
name of journal (in italics), volume number and page reference(s).
