Information for Authors
PREPARATION OF MANUSCRIPT
All manuscripts submitted to Social Transformations Journal of the Global South should be original contributions and must not be under consideration for any other publication.
Manuscripts must be typed and double-spaced, including quotations, notes, and references. Adequate subheadings must be provided. Notes, numbered sequentially, must be placed at the end of the text manually, that is without using the automatic endnote feature of software programs. We use Author-Date citations in the text of articles, following the form outlined in the Chicago Manual of Style, 17th edition. Please consult the latest issue of Social Transformations as a guide to the journal’s style, which can be found on https://archium.ateneo.edu/stjgs.
LENGTH
For research articles, we expect manuscripts to range between 7,000 to 10,000 words, including notes and the list of references. Longer articles will be considered in exceptional cases. Authors should provide a total word count at the time of submission.
For Book Reviews, we expect manuscripts to range between 2,500 to 3,000 words, including references.
REFEREEING
Because we follow a blind refereeing system, all references to the author’s identity must be removed from the body and notes. Please submit a separate page that contains the title of the manuscript; an abstract of about 250 words max., a list of five keywords, a brief description of the author’s institutional affiliation, postal address, and other contact details.
We aim to give authors a decision within three to four months, although this target may not always be reached. That decision may be a conditional or unconditional acceptance, a rejection, or an invitation to revise and resubmit.
COPYRIGHT
The author is obliged to secure all necessary permissions for any parts of the article the copyright of which is owned by someone else, and to pay any fees that may be involved.
It is a condition for publication that authors vest copyright in their articles, abstracts, and reviews in the Ateneo de Manila University. Authors may use their own articles in other publications provided prior permission is sought from the Ateneo de Manila University.
