ASIAN FOLKLORE STUDIES

INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS

In the preparation of manuscripts, authors are requested to observe the standards specified
below. Failure to do so may prejudice manuscript acceptance.
Typing. Submit all manuscripts typed double-spaced on standard paper. Double spacing applies
to every part of the article, including indented quotations, footnotes, and references. Do not end a
typed line with a hyphen or dash. Provide section heads occasionally. Supply an abstract of about
150 words and about 5 key words characterizing the article's content.
Asian names and terms. Give Asian names in the proper Asian order (e.g., Japanese, Chinese, and
Korean names with surname followed by given name). Follow the pinyin system for the
romanization of Chinese, and the McCune-Reischauer system for Korean. Place ideographs in the
text following the romanized form of the word when appropriate, and follow this with an English
translation enclosed in parentheses: minkan shinkô (folk beliefs).
Notes. AFS uses citation notes, which are place in the text immediately following the reference, and
endnotes, which present supplementary data or ideas. Citation notes are to specify the author's
surname, year of publication, and page number(s). They are regularly bound in parentheses, e.g.,
(HORI 1968a, 54-5). Endnotes are designated in the text by a raised arabic numeral. Assign endnote
numbers consecutively throughout the manuscript, and type them double-spaced on a separate sheet
of paper. Endnotes may include citation notes. Whether in endnotes or citation notes, never use
"op. cit.," "ibid." or the like. Specify page numbers inclusively, e.g., pp. 108-10 (not pp. 108 ff.)
References. Every manuscript that cites previously published work is to be provided with a
bibliographical list headed "References." Each reference should include the standard bibliographical
information. References to works in Asian languages should include the ideographs for both the
author's name and title, when appropriate, and an English paraphrase of the title in square brackets.
In titles and subtitles of books and article, capitalize only the initial word, proper nouns, and
adjectives deriving from proper nouns. List references alphabetically by author without distinction
as to language in accordance with the following format:
Hori Ichirô
1968a Folk religion in Japan: Continuity and change. Ed. Joseph M. Kitagawa and
Alan L. Miller. Chicago: University of Chicago Press.
1968b Shakai fuan to minkan shinkô [Social anxiety
and folk religion]. Shûkyô Kenkyû 41: 211-45.
McFarland. H. Neill
1968 Feminine motifs in Bodhidharma symbology in Japan. Asian Folklore
Studies 45: 167-91.
Reviews and communications. Manuscripts for contributions to the book reviews and communications
section normally should not exceed three typewritten pages. References in book reviews should be
fully documented. Unsolicited book reviews are accepted with no obligation for publication. Any
information on activities, research projects, conferences and congresses of interest to scholars in the
field of Asian folklore is welcomed. Deadline are 15 November for the spring issue and 15 May for
the fall issue. Any submissions that are sent by FAX should be followed by a mailed, typewritten
copy.
