Policies for Himalaya, the Journal of the Association for Nepal and Himalayan Studies
EDITORIAL POLICY GUIDE FOR CONTRIBUTORS
Himalaya, the Journal of the Association for Nepal and Himalayan Studies publishes peer reviewed original articles, research reports, short notes, book reviews, reports of meetings, dissertation abstracts, professional announcements, and other interesting information from any and all fields relevant to the Himalayan areas of Asia.
Material submitted to the journal must be in English; spellings and usage should conform to the Oxford English Dictionary. Authors must take full responsibility for the originality, contents, and opinions expressed in their writing. Authors are required to obtain permission for the publication or reproduction of copyrighted material where appropriate and to make proper acknowledgments. The editors assume that papers submitted are original and have not been published elsewhere. Exceptions may be made for papers or abstracts of papers published in a language other than English, and for material that may not be readily accessible elsewhere.
The journal is produced on a Macintosh computer in Microsoft Word and Adobe InDesign. We prefer electronic submissions on the journal’s website; contact the editor if this is not possible.. Diacritical markings create difficulties for the editorial staff, and we ask that contributors either manage without or accept any subsequent snafus with good grace.
Manuscripts should be typed and double-spaced. All pages should be numbered. The title of the paper, authors’ names and affiliations, and complete addresses, including an email address, should appear on the page. Abstracts of no more than 300 words should accompany articles. References should be listed at the end of the paper without numbering, alphabetically by author, giving the complete unabbreviated source citation. Format and style should follow current issues of the journal. It is the authors' responsibility to ensure that references are correct. Maps, line drawings, and diagrams should be ready for publication. The top of each illustration should be clearly indicated. Black and white glossy photographs may be published in some instances. They should be submitted unmounted and be suitable for half-tone reproduction, or as digital files, following the editors' instructions.
Authors of articles will receive three copies of the issue within which their article appears. Additional copies can be purchased from the editors.
Readers are invited to submit high quality black-and-white photographs for publication.
We depend on both member subscribers and contributing editors for voluntary submission of material, reviews, and articles. We also welcome proposals for special issues. Please direct correspondence to:
