Instructions for Authors

Scope

The Journal of Religion in Africa (JRA) is interested in all religious traditions and all their forms, in every part of Africa, and is open to every methodology. The JRA’s contributors include scholars working in history, anthropology, sociology, political science, missiology, literature and related disciplines. It welcomes religious texts in their original African language. Presenting a unique forum for the debate of theoretical issues in the analysis of African religion and ritual past and present, the JRA also encourages the development of new methodologies.

Ethical and Legal Conditions

The publication of a manuscript in a peer-reviewed work is expected to follow standards of ethical behavior for all parties involved in the act of publishing: authors, editors, and reviewers. Authors, editors, and reviewers should thoroughly acquaint themselves with Brill’s publication ethics, which may be downloaded here: brill.com/page/ethics/publication-ethics-cope-compliance.

Online Submission

The Journal now uses online submission only. Authors should submit their manuscript online via the Editorial Manager (EM) online submission system at: editorialmanager.com/jra. First-time users of EM need to register first. Go to the website and click on the "Register Now" link in the login menu. Enter the information requested. During registration, you can fill in your username and password. If you should forget your Username and Password, click on the "send login details" link in the login section, and enter your e-mail address exactly as you entered it when you registered. Your access codes will then be emailed to you.

Prior to submission, authors are encouraged to read the ‘Instructions for Authors’. When submitting via the website, you will be guided stepwise through the creation and uploading of the various files.

A revised document is uploaded the same way as the initial submission. The system automatically generates an electronic (PDF) proof, which is then used for reviewing purposes. All correspondence, including the editor’s request for revision and final decision, is sent by e-mail.

Contact Address

For any questions or problems relating to your manuscript please contact Deputy Editor (Administration) Dianna Bell at: dianna.bell@uct.ac.za. For eventual questions about Editorial Manager, authors can also contact the Brill EM Support Department at: em@brill.com.

Editorial Communication

Articles being considered for publication are read by the Executive Editor, a Deputy Editor and at least one other reviewer. Articles are sent to Editors and reviewers complete with name(s) of author(s), as the JRA does not have a policy of ‘blind review’. The Editors aim to inform the author within six months whether the article has been accepted as it stands (which happens very rarely), accepted subject to revision, or rejected. However, because of the stringent review procedures, delays may sometimes occur, and authors are welcome to e-mail the Managing Editor (dianna.bell@uct.ac.za) to check on progress.

They should keep her informed of changes of e-mail or postal addresses.

Authors of commissioned articles (for special issues) should be aware that the same procedures of editorial and external review apply as to unsolicited papers, and that a request to submit an article does not guarantee acceptance.

In all matters, the Executive Editor’s decision is final.

Submission Requirements

The Editors welcome submission of articles that make a new contribution to scholarship on all religious traditions in every part of Africa. JRA contributors include scholars working in history, anthropology, sociology, political science, missiology, literature and related disciplines.

Before submission, authors who do not have access to recent issues of the JRA are strongly encouraged to read the free issue on the publishers’ website, at booksandjournals.brillonline.com/content/15700666 to acquaint themselves with the style of article published. JRA does not accept multiple submissions by individual authors.

Language

Manuscripts submitted for publication should be in clear, jargon-free English, without spelling, syntax or punctuation errors. Spelling (British or American) should be consistent throughout. Authors are asked to check this, as well as for consistency of spelling of names, non-English terms, etc., before submission.

Single quotation marks must be used except for quotations within quotations, and in general British English punctuation is preferred to American (punctuation normally outside quotation marks, except where a stop marks the end of a sentence within the quotation). Quotation marks must be above the line in the English and American style (‘ ..... ’, NOT the European style „ ..... ”). Capitals should be used sparingly and consistently.

While authors are expected to supply text in as perfect a state as possible, articles are copy-edited carefully by the Editors, who may return marked texts to authors for correction.
