SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
The Journal of the Manitoba Anthropology Students Association carries anthropological, historical, archaeological and other humanities fields research. All contributions are published in English (Canadian) and it is understood that at the time of submission the manuscript/commentary piece has not been submitted to any other journal for publication. Accepted and peer-reviewed manuscripts are published online periodically throughout the year. An electronic copy of the years journal will be made available online at the end of each academic year.
Peer review
The editorial Committee makes use of a triage process on initial submission. If the manuscript is deemed unsuitable it is sent back to the author without being sent for peer-review. If it is deemed suitable the manuscript is sent for peer-review.
The Journal uses a “double-blind” review process, where the identity of the author is not known to the reviewer, and the identity of the reviewer is not known to the author.
Submissions are sent out to a minimum of two referees. The author may suggest suitable reviewers.
The journal committee makes the final decision as to whether or not to publish the manuscript. Reasons for rejecting a manuscript include but not limited to, failure of the author to respond adequately to referees comments, failure to adhere to the submission guidelines, and tardy response to editorial requests.
Preparation of manuscript
The manuscript should be 12pt font and 1.5 line spacing. Pages should be numbered consecutively beginning with the title page. Give full details of the title of the manuscript, name(s) of author(s), postal address, email address, each author(s) affiliation(s).
An abstract of no more than 300 words should summarize the quintessence of the manuscript. Refrain, if possible, from using references in the abstract. The abstract should be followed by up to 12 key words or phrases. Tables and figures should include headings and explanations and should be numbered consecutively. References in the text to tables and figures (including illustrations) as follows: Fig 1; Fig 1-3; Table 1, Table 1-3. When referring to tables and figures in other publications use lower case (fig., figs.). Do not use italics on abbreviated Latin terms, such as et al, sic, ibid. When quoting text use double quotation marks, single quotation marks for highlighted words and for quotes within quotes. Quotations longer than 25 words should be placed separate from the text as a block quote.
References
The journal makes use of the American Anthropological Association style which follows the Chicago Manual of Style, 17th edition (http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/, specifically in regard to reference citations.

In-text citations
- Place citations in parentheses and include the author’s name and the source’s year of publication, with no intervening punctuation, at the end of a sentence or before a comma or semicolon, whenever possible: (Herzfeld 2005).
- Always include page numbers for quotations or extensive paraphrases, using an en dash for page ranges: (Herzfeld 2005, 146–47). (Note: they are preceded by a comma, not a colon; this is a major change from the AAA Style Guide.)
- Use semicolons to separate two or more references in a single parenthetical citation and list them alphabetically: (Bessire and Bond 2014; Comaroff 1996; Daser 2014; Foucault 2000).
- Do not include “ed.” or “trans.” in citations (and in the case of books that have been reprinted or updated, do not include the original publication year), as this information will be included on the reference list.
- Use the first author’s last name and et al. for works with four or more authors.
- You may use the following abbreviations: , e.g., and i.e. Do not use ibid., passim, op. cit., and so on. Only very rarely would we use ff., “when referring to a section for which no final number can usefully be given” (CMS 14.156)
Reference list
- Do not embed the reference list in the endnotes.
- Include every source cited in the text and no others, listed alphabetically by author.
- When including multiple works by the same author, list them chronologically, from oldest to most recent.
- For works published by the same author in the same year, add a, b, and so on, and list them alphabetically by title.
