Instructions for Authors

The Journal welcomes manuscripts of between 4,000 and 6000 words (inclusive of references) from research areas devoted to post-war European affairs.

Articles submitted to the Journal should not have been published elsewhere nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere. Submission of a paper will be held to imply that it contains original unpublished work and is not being submitted for publication elsewhere. Submission of a paper also implies that, upon acceptance of an article by the journal, the author(s) will transfer copyright of the article to the publisher. It is understood that submission of the paper for publication has been approved by all of the authors.

Manuscripts should be carefully checked by the author(s) for errors before they are submitted. It is authors’ responsibility to ensure the accuracy of quotations and references, and to get permissions to cite another person’s work (where necessary).

Articles will be peer reviewed and if accepted, final pre-publication proofs will be forwarded to author(s) for verification and checking. Alterations and/or additions will not generally be accepted at this stage.

Submission Guidelines:

Where possible, authors should prepare their manuscript using Microsoft Word, Times New Roman, 12 point font. Manuscripts spacing should be 1.5 lines.

Headings should appear in bold on a separate line but otherwise use the same formatting as the text. Paragraphs should be separated by a blank line, be left aligned and NOT indented. Long quotations should be indented.

An abstract of no more than 150 words should be included at the beginning of the article, followed by at least four (4) key words arranged in alphabetical order. Manuscripts must be submitted online using the submission facility in the ANZJES menu on the ESAANZ website.

Tables and graphs:

All diagrams, charts and graphs should be referred to as figures and consecutively numbered. Tables should be kept to a minimum and contain only essential data. Each figure and table must be given an Arabic numeral, followed by a heading, and be referred to in the text. All illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.

Numbers:

• Spell out a number or a year if it begins a sentence (e.g. ‘Nineteen eighty-four was a significant year for…’)
• Spell numbers from one to nine, then 10, 1000, 10,000 etc unless there is a decimal point or a fraction (e.g. 2.5, 21⁄2), or where they refer to page numbers or are part of numerical sets where there are numbers higher than nine (e.g. 3, 9, 27)
• Express all percentages as figures followed by %, i.e. 12.4%
• Dates should be written in the following way: 1 May 2003
• Periods of time should be written as follows:
• 1970s (not 1970’s)
• 1972-73 (not 1972-1973 or 1972-3)
• 1999-2000

Punctuation:

Full stops are not required in the following circumstances:

• Acronyms (e.g. WTO, UNCTAD, SA)
• Initialisms (e.g. USA, NSW)
• Contractions (e.g. Qld)
• For titles such as Dr, Ms, Mr
• After three points of ellipsis

Spelling:

Australian and New Zealand Journal of European Studies prefers UK-English, i.e. –ise rather than –ize endings; –isation rather than –ization, All non-English words should be presented in italics unless they are commonly used and appear in English dictionary (e.g., ad hoc).

Referencing:

The Australian and New Zealand Journal of European Studies prefers the usage of the American Psychological Association (APA) 7^th edition as per the examples shown below. APA style does NOT use footnotes for source referencing.

Examples:

In-text citations

APA is an author–date citation system. Brief in-text citations are linked to a full reference list entry at the end of the of the paper. The in-text citation identifies a work by its author and date of publication which is expanded in the alphabetical reference list at the end of the paper.

An in-text citation typically consists of:

• author surname(s) followed by the year of publication of the work
• page or paragraph numbers for direct quotes (Weston, 1988, p. 45). When paraphrasing, page numbers are usually not included but can be if desired.
• If no page numbers are available, ensure the reader is able to locate the quotation in a different way (e.g. paragraph number)
  • If a sentence ends with a citation, make sure the full stop is placed after the reference.
