EDITORIAL POLICY
UTAFITI is a journal of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences of the University of
Dar es Salaam, devoted to articles and research information on Tanzania and East
Africa primarily, and on development in the Third World and elsewhere in general.
Our subject is to explain what takes place in our environment, why and how, the
achievements and problems in various development efforts, and research efforts into
possible problem-solving alternatives.
UTAFITI cuts across disciplinary boundaries, and is not bound by the narrow confines
of disciplines. We thus have had articles on themes and topics in geography, history,
economics, technology, education, development planning, social administration,
literature, statistics, and law, to mention just a few. People of different ideological
stand points have had occasions to argue their positions and cases, and we do welcome
such healthy debates.
                            INFORMATION TO AUTHORS
Manuscript      Preparation
1.   Type the entire manuscript, including the reference list, notes and any appendix
     material, double space, with wide margins (at least one inch on all four sides) on
     standard A4 paper. Do not use "erasable" paper. Number pages consecutively,at
     the top. Use only one side ofthe page.
2. Submit three copies of the typescript (only one copy of camera-ready tables of
     figures). Copies that are fuzzy at the edges, blurred, faint or hard to write on are
     not acceptable.
3. Make a separate title page for your article and put on it (i) title of the article; (ii)
     name of authors(s) and titles(s); (iii) institution of origin; and (v) suggested
     running head iftitle is very long.
4. Type the author's name in the upper right-hard corner of the first page of each
     new section, such as appendixes, references, or notes.
5. You may write short corrections neatly above the lines where they belong (do not
     print in capital letters and do not put corrections in the margin as in
     proofreading).
6. Be very careful in presenting mathematical expressions. Subscripts and
     superscripts must be exactly placed or clearly marked. Identified Greek letters
     and unusual symbols by writing their names in the margin, and circling them, at
     the first occurrence in your paper. Equation number should go at the left margin.
     Mathematical symbols for vectors should be labeled as such e.g. by a wavy
     underscore.
