Anthropology Today

Notes to contributors

Notes to Contributors

Anthropology Today (AT) is a full-colour bimonthly publication which aims to provide a forum for the application of anthropological analysis to public and topical issues, while reflecting the breadth of interests within the discipline of anthropology.

It is also committed to promoting debate at the interface between anthropology and areas of applied knowledge such as education, medicine, development etc. as well as that between anthropology and other academic disciplines.

AT encourages submissions on a wide range of topics, consistent with these aims.

AT is an international journal both in the scope of issues it covers and in the sources it draws from.

Style Sheet for Contributors

We appreciate that constraints of time may make it difficult for you to follow all of these rules, especially if they differ markedly from your standard style. However, it would help us greatly in the editing process if you could adhere to them as far as possible.

In general, use British rather than American style. This affects spellings and also occasionally syntax (e.g. adverb between auxiliary verb and past participle, not before auxiliary verb - 'has also been', not 'also has been').
