                                     NOTES FOR CONTRIBUTORS
PULA is a journal devoted the study of Africa, particularly Southern Africa. We welcome clearly
expressed contributions from scholars all over the world. Articles which cross disciplinary
boundaries are most welcome.
    Articles should be original contributions,        not previously published. If an article is under
consideration for publication elsewhere, this must be clearly indicated by the author at the time
of submission. Articles which are simply descriptive and lacking in analytical content, or are too
specialized to be appreciated by scholars in other disciplines, are not likely to be accepted.
Articles submitted will be referred to referees, at least one being expert in the appropriate field of
scholarship, before acceptance by the Journal.
    Articles should be in the range of four to six thousand words, with an abstract                  at the
beginning of 100-150 words. Articles should be written in continuous prose without numbered or
bulleted paragraphs, though sub-headings are welcome. Tables and figures should be included
when absolutely necessary, and should be serially numbered from I onwards.
    Authors should submit three copies of their article for consideration. The copies should be
typed double-spaced. Notes (if any) should be serially numbered from I onwards, and listed at
the end of the paper, followed by an alphabetical list of References cited in the text and Notes.
(Please do not use automatic footnoting or embed Notes or References as hidden text on the
diskette.) Any author's acknowledgements should be placed as an unnumbered note at the head of
the Notes.
    Bibliographic         citations      within text and Notes should be abbreviated (author and date
plus page numbers)-as        in: (Tlou, 1973: 123-24) or, Tlou (1973: 123-24).
