GUIDELINES FOR  CONTRIBUTORS

PLEASE  follow  these  guidelines  closely  when  preparing  your  paper  for
submission.  The  editors  reserve  the  right  to  reject  illegible  of  otherwise
inadequately prepared papers.

All contributions  must be submitted  in English, in duplicate, typed, double-
spaced  on A4 paper on one side of the paper only.  Authors should  keep an
additional copy for their future reference.  Articles should not exceed  10,000
words  in  length.  Submission  on  diskette  in either  Word  or  WordPerfect  is
appreciated, but the diskette need not be sent until the paper has been accepted
and any corrections and revisions have been made.

The first  page of an article  for the Research  Review  should contain  the title
but  not  the  author's  name.  The  article  should  have  a  separate  title  page
including the title and the author's name with full contact information  including
mailing address, phone numbers and email address if possible.

Notes should be numbered consecutively throughout the paper.  They should
not contain full references.  References made in the notes or in the text (notes
within  the text are preferred)  should  include author's  last name, the date of
publication and the relevant page numbers.  There should be a separate list of
references, giving full  bibliographical details in this order: name of author or
editor, date of publication, title of the work, place of publication and publisher.

Illustrative  quotations  less  than  two  lines  long  should  be  within  double
quotation  marks ("...") and not separated from  the text.  Longer  quotations
may be set out and indented on both sides.  The source reference should come
immediately after the quotation or in the sentence immediately before  it.

Figures and diagrams should be drawn in black ink on white paper, and require
little  or  no  reduction  in  size.  Photographs  should  be  black  and  white  on
glossy paper. Preferred  placement of diagrams, tables and figures  in the text
should  be indicated  by penciled numbers, on the back of the photo or  figure
and  in the text.

Words or short passages in other languages (including Ghanaian  languages)
may be included, but if you use a non-standard font with your word processor
a copy of the font should be included on your diskette. Material in any language
other than English should be underlined, or italicized  if a word processor  is
used.
