Manuscript submissions

The Editors welcome submissions of manuscripts in the areas of history, archaeology, ethnology, social and biological anthropology, art and material culture studies, sociology, politics, economics and linguistics. The Journal is published quarterly and includes main articles, shorter communications (5000 words or less), correspondence and book reviews. There is no set word limit for main articles. Book reviews are solicited by the Book Review Editor.

Manuscripts are reviewed by academic readers before publication is considered. Address all correspondence to The Editor, Journal of the Polynesian Society, Department of Anthropology, The University of Auckland, Private Bag 92019, Auckland, New Zealand. (Email: j.huntsman@auckland.ac.nz)

Manuscripts should be prepared in A4 size, with all material double-spaced. Submission may be by email attachment in MS Word format, but one hardcopy should also be posted to the Honorary Editor. Tables must be suitable for the JPS page size and set out as simply as possible (e.g., avoid unnecessary lines). Illustrative materials, i.e., line drawings and photographs, must be of high quality and should be provided in both hardcopy and digital form (scaled accordingly to at least 300dpi resolution) as email attachments or on CD. Materials will not be returned to authors unless requested.

Before submitting a manuscript, authors should consult the Honorary Editor or the Instructions for authors page for information on format and house style.

The views expressed by contributors are their own. In publishing them, neither the Editor nor the Society necessarily endorses them.

Each manuscript is assessed by qualified referees. Assessment is usually completed within at least three months after receipt of a manuscript, but may take longer in particular circumstances. Unsuitable manuscripts will not be returned to the author except on request.
