What you need to submit

  • Articles should be submitted online through the journal website or as e-mail attachment.
  • The article should be provided with an abstract (not more than 150 words) and keywords.

Italicization

Titles of books and journals should be italicized.

Capitalized names should not be italicized: Taman Hiburan Rakyat, Orde Baru, Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie.

Quotations and quotation marks

  • Use double quotation marks: "Misquoting an author is considered a serious offence by many people" (Van Helder 1890: 138).
  • For a quotation within quotation, use single quotation marks. Within quotation, put square brackets around additions and deletions: "Pernyata[a]n sejarawan itu tidak mudah dimengerti. [...] Masyarakat umum rupanya terbiasa akan sudut pandang dari seorang sastrawan. ‘Perbedaan [pandangan] di [antara] mereka sering membingungkan awam' [...]" (Sutrisno 2005: 221).
  • Longer quotations should be set off from the text and indented, in which case quotation marks are not needed.

Footnotes and references

  • Place the footnote number after the punctuation mark:2, after the comma,3, after the period.4
  • References referring to one or two works should be placed in parentheses in the text (Cohen 2004: 34-39; Pigeaud 1960-64 V: 281-287; Van Sterkenburg and De Vries 1997: 56-59).
  • More than one work by the same author: separate by commas (Jones 1998: 66, 2002: 24, 2003: 90). If there is more than one work per author per year, distinguish them by adding the letters a, b, c to the date (Cohen 2002a, 2002b, 2002c).
  • More than one author with the same surname: include the first initial (H. Geertz 1971; C. Geertz 1976; C. Geertz and H. Geertz 1988).
