CALL FOR PUBLICATION PAPERS/EDITION 2012
The Editor of the Journal “ESTUDOS AFRO-ASIÁTICOS” [“AFRO-ASIAN STUDIES”],
continuing the academic publication which started in 1978, is making the CALL FOR
ACADEMIC PAPERS public FOR THE EDITIONS:
2012 Number 2 (July/August) and Number 3 (November/December)
1. OF THE PRESENTATION OF THE “AFRO-ASIAN STUDIES”.
The Journal “Estudos Afro-Asiáticos” [“Afro-Asian Studies”] is published every four
months by the Afro-Asian Studies Center of the University Research Institute of Rio de
Janeiro and the University Candido Mendes, and is linked to the Sociology Postgraduate Program. It is a journal that specializes in global, regional, national and local
issues of Asia and Africa, from the point of view of the insertion of these continents in
the world’s history and their effect in the formation of the Americas and Brazil.
2. OF THE PUBLICATION RULES.
It accepts unpublished essays in Portuguese, Spanish, French and English about
international relations, civilian society, social movements and new contemporary
themes.
The texts from guest authors and authors who submit their papers for publication are
received by the Journal’s Editor and then sent to the Editorial Board who will forward
them to specialized consultants to analyze the merits, maintaining the anonymity of the
query. Any suggestions from the consultants to the texts approved for publication will
be sent to the authors for the necessary modifications.
The authors' credits must be in the form of a footnote and include: title, role, institution
and personal email.
The articles or reviews must be submitted electronically using Word 6.0 or higher and
must not exceed 30 pages or 6000 words (font: Times New Roman, 12, justified, 1.5
spacing between lines, and without spacing between paragraphs, except for
references). The first line of each paragraph must have an indent of 1.5 cm from the
left margin.
The articles must be numbered in readable Arabic numerals, located on the lower
margin, right-aligned and positioned 2 cm from the edge. The page count begins from
the fake cover page, however, the printed page count with the corresponding number
must only appear from the second page after the Table of Contents. The chapter
opening pages and parts of the paper will be counted, but not numbered. For quotes
with more than 3 lines, the indentation must have 4 cm from the left margin.
Due to standardization issues, it is requested that the articles’ titles, chapters or subitems be written in lowercase, using uppercase only for names, acronyms and the first
word of a sentence.
Quotes with up to 3 lines will be inserted in the text, and inside double quotes. Quotes
with 4 lines or more must be placed in a separate paragraph and with a 4 cm indent.
Transcriptions within quotes must be indicated by single quotes ('); when part of the
transcribed text is omitted, indicate it by using bracketed ellipsis [...] An emphasis in
excerpts from citations must be indicated by the words "our underline" or "author’s
underline" between parentheses, after the citation’s introduction, which must also be
between parentheses.
For quotes with more than 3 lines, abstracts, footnotes and illustrations’ and tables’
captions use font size 10. For references, use simple spacing between lines and then
double spacing between references. The spacing preceding and succeeding titles
should be of two spaces with 1.5 spacing.
The texts must be accompanied by an abstract (of up to ten lines) and descriptors or
keywords (up to five), with respective versions in English, Spanish and French.
Margins: 2 cm lower; 2 cm upper; 2 cm left side; and 2 cm right side.
The notes at the end of the text must be numbered and come before the complete
bibliographic references, being restricted to explanatory comments.
The bibliographic references must be in the text, mentioning the author's last name,
followed by the publication year and page number. Example: (Fernandes, 1972:51).
The complete bibliographic references will follow at the end of the article, as per the
rules of the ABNT [Brazilian Association of Technical Standards].
Using the SAME STANDARD to abbreviate first and last names as the one used for the
list of references, when possible, is recommended. Names must be separated by a
semicolon, followed by a space. For standardization purposes, the use of italics rather
than bold to highlight the titles of the papers is requested.
The images must be included in the text, in addition to being submitted in a separate
file, in the file type in which they were originally created and with a high resolution for
printing (300 dpi).
