Author Guidelines
Text
Authors should submit an electronic file of their paper, with any original illustrations, to The Editor at kasarinlan.updiliman@up.edu.ph. It will be assumed that the authors will keep a copy of their paper.
Submissions of articles and reviews should be in English or Filipino. For English manuscripts, American spelling is preferred. Manuscripts in Filipino must have an abstract in English.
Submission of an article or review to the journal will be taken to imply that it presents original, unpublished work not under consideration for publication elsewhere. By submitting a manuscript, the authors agree that the exclusive rights to reproduce and distribute the article have been given to the Publisher.
Permission to quote from or reproduce copyrighted material must be obtained by the authors before submission and acknowledgements should be included in the typescript, preferably in the form of an Acknowledgements section at the end of the paper, before the Notes or References. Where photographs or figures are reproduced, acknowledgement of source and copyright should be given in the caption.
An abstract of the paper, of up to 300 words, should accompany the article. In addition, a list of up to six keywords, suitable for indexing, abstracting services, and on-line searching purposes should be supplied.
Articles should not normally exceed 8,000 words in length. At the end of the manuscript, indicate the paper’s word count, with the date of the manuscript. Notes should be kept to a minimum and placed at the end of the article before the References; footnotes should be avoided.
Reviews should be between 1,500 to 2,000 words and must deal with recently released books, films, websites, and other information sources that are within the stated topical purview of the journal.
A brief biographical note about each author should be supplied on a separate sheet. Details should be given of author’s full postal and e-mail addresses as well as telephone number.
Illustrations and Tables
Tables, figures, and plates should not be inserted within the pages of the manuscript but should be submitted on separate sheets or electronic files together with the article.
Tables should be prepared with the minimum use of horizontal rules (usually three are sufficient) and avoiding vertical rules. If the paper relies on substantive statistical and quantitative data, submitting the spreadsheet that served as basis for tables and graphs is appreciated.
Tables and graphs must be prepared with the consideration that it will be rendered in grayscale. Avoid the use of colors in lines and bars.
It is important to provide high resolution (at least 300 dpi), clear copy of figures (not photocopies or faxes) which can be reproduced by the printer and do not require redrawing.
Photographs should be high-contrast black and white glossy prints, if the photograph is available in digital form, the electronic copy must also be submitted.
The desired position for each table, figure, and plate should be indicated in the manuscript.
