Submission
Submissions are accepted throughout the year. The refereeing process
can take up to 4 months and every effort is made to publish the successful
submissions in the following editon of TEXT. However, it is not uncommon
to carry papers over to a later edition.
For information please contact the editors at
text@griffith.edu.au
Book reviews are not normally refereed, however a substantial article
built around several books may qualify for refereeing. For information
regarding book reviews contact the reviews editor Dr Patrick West patrick.west@griffith.edu.au
TEXT welcomes submission of research articles on creative and professional
writing and processes, and the teaching of writing, creative work, book
reviews, letters and notices. TEXT occasionally publishes specific-topic
collections or longer works in its Special Issue Series.
Also, creative work in TEXT is refereed. TEXT considers contributions
of stories, poetry, memoir, etc providing that the matter of the creative
work concerns exploration of creativity, or the nature and processes
of writing, or the nature and processes of the teaching of writing,
or investigation of writers' issues, lifestyles, or such like.
All submissions are electronic and should be sent via email attachments
to text@griffith.edu.au
How to send in a submission
All electronic process
TEXT is an electronic journal.
Email a contribution as an attachment to: text@griffith.edu.au
TEXT can accommodate hypertext, images and most facilities available
on the web.
Submit in 'Word'
We prefer to do our own coding and request that submissions be sent
as a simple 'Word' document in either Mac or IBM platforms.
Footnotes No, Simple endnotes Yes
TEXT does not use footnotes. Instead we run a list of linked notes at
the end of the piece. Submissions utilising numbered notes or appendices
should have them listed at the end with, of course, clear indication
in the body of the text showing where they'll be linked to. Please don't
use the computerised footnote or endnote devices available on most 'Word'
systems.
Referencing
For referencing, TEXT strongly prefers the MLA system (which the editors
adapt to on-line publication). However, any referencing system consistently
applied is accepted. For useful information regarding on-line style,
see Janice R. Walker and Todd Tayler, The Columbia Guide to Online
Style (NY: Columbia UP, 1998).
