Information for Contributors to Southern Anthropologist
Southern Anthropologist, the journal of the Southern Anthropological Society,
welcomes essays and book and film reviews that broaden anthropological knowledge
of all subdisciplines and their applied forms.
Manuscripts should be typed, double spaced, including references, notes, and
quotations. Submissions exceeding 10,000 words or 40 pages (including all
figures, tables, reference, and notes) will not be considered. Book and film
reviews should not exceed 800 words. Substantive reports on informal seminars,
discussion groups, and intellectual events are also welcome, as are long review
essays (15-20 manuscript pages) in which the reviewer develops an original
argument through the critique of and reaction to two or more works. SA follows
The Chicago Manual of Style (use in-text citations rather than notes).
The preferred means of manuscript submission is electronic, via e-mail
attachment to both erlozada@davidson.edu and
jpatico@gsu.edu.
Maps, charts, graphs, and other images should be sent as separate files from the
manuscript. All images must be high resolution (at least 300 dpi) and saved as
EPS, TIFF, or JPEG. Photoshop and Illustrator files are also acceptable. Include
the original Excel file containing charts and graphs created in this
application. All images should be converted to black and white.
If it is not possible to send a paper electronically, instead submit three hard
copies of a manuscript on 8.5"x11" paper and one copy of the final version of
the paper on CD in Microsoft Word. (Please indicate the title, the author’s name
and the version of Word used on the CD.) CDs and hard copies will not be
returned to authors. Submissions in this form should be mailed to either:

Manuscripts are generally evaluated by the Editors-in-Chief, by one or more
members of the Editorial Board, and/or by referees. Authors are invited to
suggest potential reviewers; however, the editors will not be bound by these
suggestions.
Authors, not the Southern Anthropological Society, are responsible for the
content of their articles, for the accuracy of quotations and their correct
attribution, for the legal rights to publish any material submitted, and for
submitting their manuscripts in proper form for publication. A manuscript
submitted to SA must not be in consideration by any other journal at the same
time. A non-refundable processing fee of $20 must accompany unsolicited
manuscripts from persons who are not members of the Society.
