INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS
Please follow these guidelines when preparing papers for submission to Sagbama Journal of Humanities (SAGBAMAN). This will assist us in producing the journal more speedily and efficiently.
Submitting Manuscripts
As previously indicated all manuscripts should ONLY be submitted electronically in Microsoft® Office Word or later format via email to the SAGBAMAN Secretariat. Please note that this submission should consist of various separate electronic files: One electronic file consisting of all author information only and another separate electronic file consisting of the body of the manuscript.
ELECTRONIC DOCUMENT (Author Information)
In this separate electronic document, supply the following details in full for all authors (i.e. including co-authors):
All manuscripts should be submitted in the following sequence: title page, abstract, keywords, text (body of manuscript), and list of references. Please ensure that this document is free of any identification of the author(s) and their affiliation(s).
When referring to figures and tables, each figure and/or table should be mentioned in the text in bold typeface and numbered consecutively.
Each figure should have a unique caption (outside and not inside the text box containing the figure) and should be numbered consecutively in bold typeface, e.g. FIGURE 1: Occupancy rates, 2001.
Tables used should be self-explanatory and concise, and should not duplicate material presented in the text. Tables should include labels and explanatory notes sufficient to permit readers to understand them without reference to the text. Each table should be numbered consecutively in bold typeface, e.g. TABLE 1: Percentage growth in GDP, 2001 - 2005.
All figures and tables should be rendered clearly (in black-and-white only) so as to yield attractive, readable copies.
Acknowledge the source below a table or figure. If created by the author(s), please indicate as such.
When using mathematical expressions (e.g. formulae) in the manuscript, these should be typed exactly as they should appear in print. Mathematical expression should be numbered and these appear in parentheses (bold typeface) flush with the right margin. (Also refer to the section on the layout of manuscripts')
Maps should contain essential information only and be as clear as possible. Details and features should not be cramped or too small. Use only high resolution *.jpeg or *.tiff files.
Manuscripts written in only English should not exceed twenty-five (25) pages, including the abstract and keywords list, tables, figures and references. Manuscripts longer than 25 pages will be returned to the author for revision. In exceptional cases, and at the Managing Editor’s discretion, longer articles will be considered if they make an original or major 6. 6. 6.
