GUIDELINES  FOR  CONTRIBUTORS

PLEASE  follow  these  guidelines  closely  when  preparing  your  paper  for  submission.  The  editors
reserve the right to reject illegible or 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  own  future  reference.
Articles  should  not  exceed  10,000 words in  length.  An Abstract  of  about  100 words  should  also  be
provided.  Submission  on  diskette  in  Word  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.

Footnotes  and  endnotes  should  be  numbered  consecutively  throughout  the  paper.  They  should  not
contain  full  references.  References  made  in  the  notes  or  in  the  text  (references  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,  in which all items referred  to in text  and notes are listed
in "alphabetical  order according to the surname of the first  author.  Give full  bibliographical  details in
this  order:  nama  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  while  on  glossy  paper.  Preferred  placement  of  diagrams
tables  and  figures  in  the  text  should  be  indicated  by pencilled  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  italicised  if  a  word
processor is used.

Full  details  including  setup  of  references  and  notes  can  be  obtained  by  contacting  the  editors  at
