The journal is committed to ensuring that it publishes material free of research misconduct. To this end it asks that authors named on the manuscript should:

• Participate in the peer review process
• Have contributed significantly to the research
• Ensure that the research is original, and has not been published elsewhere in any form
• That all sources are properly acknowledged and references,
• Funding which has supported the research is properly acknowledged, and
• Any mistakes published are corrected and retracted.

The journal undertakes to ensure that:

• All content is subjected to expert peer review,
• That submissions are treated confidentially, and
• That reviewers have no conflict of interest.

Guidelines for Authors

Manuscripts:

Manuscripts should be typed in Word format, using Times New Roman font (12 pt), and using 1.5 spacing (including notes, references and quoted matter). They should be arranged to conform with the system for parenthetical documentation set out in the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers (seventh edition, 2009). Contributors are urged to familiarize themselves with the conventions of this style, and to note that the Editor reserves the right to return any manuscript accepted for publication to its author for re-formatting.  Please consult the abbreviated style guide provided on this website.

Reviewing procedures:

Submissions are reviewed anonymously by members of English in Africa’s Editorial Board, and other prominent scholars.

Costs of Publication:

Please be aware that English in Africa levies page fees against the DHET subsidy that your article may attract. This levy only applies to scholars registered at South African academic institutions. In 2023, this fee is R150 per page.

Submitting your work

Submissions may be sent to englishinafrica@ru.ac.za or isea@ru.ac.za
