<skip two lines>

Skip two lines before and one after each section heading. Use bold and lower case in section headings (example: ‘The art of writing’). Do not use numbers.

<skip one line>

References and quotations in the text:

  • Use parenthetical author-year-page references in the text and separate references by a semicolon (Johnson 1983: 11; Ellen 1989: 238-239).
  • Separate references to the same author by a comma (Acheson 1981, 1983).
  • The references should appear in chronological order, starting from the oldest (Johnson 1983:11; Ellen 1989: 238-239).
  • Do not use & but ‘and’ when referring to co-authored work (McCay and Acheson 1989).
  • If the original year of a publication differs from the edition used, indicate this as follows: Jansen (1969 [1873]). In References: 1969 [1873].
  • If a publication has more than three authors, only mention the first followed by ‘et al’.
  • When citing an author twice in a row use ‘ibid.’
  • If the year of publication is unknown, use the indication n.d. (Gordon n.d.).
  • Carefully check whether all references in the text are also mentioned in the list of references and vice versa.

 

Websites:

  • Refer to websites in notes (do not italicize).

 

Newspapers:

  • References to newspaper articles and magazines should not be annotated in the References but either in the text (in parentheses, italicize the name of the newspaper or magazine, comma, date – e.g., Herald Tribune, 20 November, 2001) or in a note (idem, without parentheses).

 

Quotes and quotation marks:

  • Use single inverted commas to mark quotes and ‘as if’ words. Use double inverted commas only for quotes and “as if” words within quotes.
  • Quotes of more than three lines should be indented without inverted commas (only use single inverted commas for quotes and ‘as if’ words within indented quotes). Skip a line before and after an indented quote.
  • When leaving out words from a quotation, indicate this with three dots …
  • When substituting words or adding an explanation within a quotation, use square parentheses []. Also use square parentheses when changing lower/upper case into upper/lower case, for example, ‘[I]n some instances, ….’
  • Within a quote, the full stop or comma should come after the closing inverted comma, such as ‘Teresa told me that’. Other punctuation marks, such as quotation marks or exclamation points, will come within the quote and before the inverted comma, such as ‘Can you believe it?’
  • When adding emphasis, state added emphasis, such as (Grassiani 2013: 14, emphasis added).

 

Additional matters:

  • Spelling: consequently use UK spelling.
  • Do not use abbreviations (for example instead of e.g.; et cetera instead of etc.; that is instead of i.e.; per cent instead of %).
  • Italicize words you want to emphasize or non-English words (raison d’être, Weltanschauung). Do not italicize names of institutions but do use initial capitals (for example: United Nations).
  • All numbers below 20 should be spelt out and all numbers above twenty should be in numbers. Examples: nineteen and 20.
  • Acronyms: in small capitals (e.g., asean instead of ASEAN).
  • Enumerations should be preceded by a colon (:) and separated by semicolons (;) or placed on new lines using numbers, bullets or dashes.
  • Illustrations are very welcome, please send them in 300 DPI to editors@etnofoor.nl. Photos, drawings or maps must be numbered and accompanied by an italicized caption in lower case (e.g., Photo 1. Pearson in front of her shop). Illustrations should be of a high quality and submitted camera ready or as .jpg or .tif files. Clearly indicate in the text where illustrations should appear.
  • Tables and graphs should be numbered and have italicized captions in lower case (for example: Table 1. Estimated growth of Xu Wei’s population). Clearly indicate in the text where tables and graphs should appear.
  • Dashes: indicate dashes as: space-dash-space [−].
  • The quality of the English is the author’s responsibility. The ETNOFOOR editors reserve the right to refuse an article if the quality of writing is too poor.
