ASIAN AND PACIFIC MIGRATION JOURNAL

Guidelines for Contributors

Manuscripts should be previously unpublished and not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Manuscripts posted on the Internet are ineligible. Submission of a manuscript to APMJ is taken to indicate the author’s commitment to publish in the journal. An international panel of advisers will act as referees. To preserve anonymity in the review process, only the title should appear on the manuscript. A separate cover page with title, author’s name and affiliation should be attached. Copyright on contributions passes to APMJ upon publication. Manuscripts are not returned to authors. Contributors will receive published copies of their article or review.

Preparation of Manuscripts

Manuscripts must be typed double-spaced on one side of the paper only. Main articles should be approximately 7,000-8,000 words long; book reviews should be approximately 1,000 words long. Submit graphs, maps and charts in camera ready form. For graphs and charts, please provide the original values to allow APMJ to standardize the reproduction of the figures. Include an abstract of approximately 100 words summarizing the findings.

References in Text

1.     References within the text should include, in parentheses, last name of author, year of publication and paging where necessary: (Smith, 1989:7).

2.     If the author’s name appears in the text, only the year and page numbers are enclosed in parentheses: Kuo’s study (1984).

3.     References to more than one work in a single year by the same author are distinguished by letters following the year: (Min, 1988a).
