Submitting manuscripts: All manuscripts should be printed
on 8 1/2 by 11 inch paper. The manuscript should be double-spaced throughout,
including quotations and bibliography, with margins of at least 1 inch.
Please do not include running heads, except as needed for page numbering.
An original and two copies must be submitted to the editor. Abstracts followed
by no more than 5 keywords are required for all manuscripts. The cover letter
should include the author(s)'s telephone number, fax number, and email address.
Following review and acceptance, the final draft must be submitted on either
a 3.5 inch IBM- or Mac - formatted computer diskette or a compact disc,
and the file name(s) and word processing program should be written on the
diskette or CD. A current version of MS Word or RTF is preferred.
The lead author of an article submitted for publication in Plains Anthropologist
must be a member of the Society.
Style: Plains Anthropologist follows the Chicago Manual of Style for overall style, including in-text references, notes, punctuation, usage, and headings. Use a single space after periods. The bibliography, however, should follow the format of American Antiquity (Vol. 57, No. 4, 1992).
Illustrations and tables: Figures (line drawings, photographs, and other graphics) and tables should be numbered and referenced sequentially in the text. Copies of figures should be submitted with the original manuscript. Include a list of captions on a separate sheet. Do not incorporate captions or titles in the artwork itself. Upon acceptance, figures and tables should be submitted either in digital format or as hard copies. Digital images should be saved in TIF format. For hard copies, line drawings should be carefully drawn in ink on good quality white paper or tracing medium, photographic prints for halftone plates should be submitted unmounted and numbered lightly on the back in pencil, and photographs should have good contrast. Authors should be aware that figures may have to be reduced.
Further information on editorial policies may be found
in the February 1987 (Vol. 32, No. 115) issue of Plains Anthropologist
or may be requested from the editor. Reprint order forms are sent to authors
of articles as each issue goes to press. Reprints may be ordered at that
time at a 30% discount.
