JOURNAL OF ANTHROPOLOGICAL RESEARCH

The Journal of Anthropological Research publishes substantive articles emphasizing theoretically informed, broadly contextualized, original research in all areas of anthropology relating to peoples and cultures, past and present, in any region. It provides a peer-reviewed vehicle of expression for anthropologists worldwide. Volunteered articles should be problem-oriented and of general interest. The journal does not publish short, purely descriptive reports. To submit your manuscript for publication consideration, please use JAR's Editorial Manager system at https://www.editorialmanager.com/ucp-jar. A cover letter must be attached to the submission explaining why the manuscript is suitable for JAR. Manuscripts with no cover letter will be returned. Manuscripts, not to exceed 30 double-spaced pages of text (exclusive of abstract, limited endnotes, and references), must be produced for 8½x11 inch or A4 paper with at least one-inch (2.5 cm) margins on all sides. All material (including text, abstract, tables, figure captions, quotations, references, and endnotes) must be double-spaced and printed using no smaller than 12-point (12 characters/spaces per inch) typeface. Each submission must include 6-8 keywords and an abstract, not to exceed 150 words. Please also be sure to provide pagination. Put figure captions and tables at the end of the manuscript, after the references. Do not incorporate graphics boxes or characters in the file: non-European languages must be in Latin rather than phonetic letters, and symbols or equations must be in standard text fonts rather than graphic format. Please turn off all special formatting: no "widow/orphan" protection, no end-of-line hyphenation, no headers or footers other than simple pagination. Bibliographical references must be formatted according to the Journal of Anthropological Research Style Guide. References are included in the text by citing the author’s last name, date of source, and page or inclusive pages: e.g., (Boas 1910:274). Short quotations of 2–3 lines should be enclosed in quotation marks and incorporated in the text; longer ones should be in separate, indented paragraphs. All items cited in the text—and only those items—are to be included in the list of references. Acknowledgements must include information on any grant funding, and auxiliary comments or information should be placed at the end of the text using Word's "Endnote" option. Notes must not exceed two double-spaced pages. Tables must be cited individually, and consecutively, within the text. They must be titled, numbered, and typed on a separate page. Figures, including maps and other illustrative material, must be numbered and cited consecutively in the text. Illustrative material, including lettering, must be professionally prepared and in camera-ready form (see Manuscript Preparation - General). Tables, illustrations and labels must be legible when scaled to the journal's 7.5 x 4.5 inch (19x11.5 cm) trim size. Do not embed tables and figures within the body of the text. Do not use PowerPoint-like slides as figures. Images in the digital edition are rendered in color; however, for the print edition all images must be clear and legible when printed in black and white. Anonymous referees' comments are sent to authors at the Editor's discretion. The Editor may require certain corrections and alterations prior to final acceptance. Authors will be required to assign copyright to the University of New Mexico. For more information see our page on Authors' Rights.
