Headline

A headline has to express the core of the article simply or at least in the way that it invites a reader to continue.

It is recommended to use verbs and concrete words.

A headline should be very short, maximum 50 characters with spaces.

Ingress

A text which is longer than 2500 characters must also include ingress. In the ingress, introduce the central message of the article with 2 − 3 tangible sentences. Maximum length of ingress is 200 characters with spaces and it should be attractive.

Subtitles and paragraphs

In an article it is recommended to have several subtitles, for example, always after three consecutive paragraphs.

Paragraphs should be short; in a good paragraph (Word view) there are 3 – 4 lines and 1 – 3 sentences.

Style

Use good standard language. The Horn of Africa Journal is aimed at the general public, hence, for all those who are interested in its scope and topics.

The best sentences consist of main clauses and subordinate clauses. Avoid complicated structures.

Spoken language may help to create sentences that are easily understandable. Please, consider how it would be possible to explain an idea to a person who had no prior knowledge on the topic.

Formatting

Do not format the text, unless a word needs to be italicized.

Photographs, figures and tables

Photographs, figures and tables should be sent as separate files, and their eventual position should be clearly indicated in the text. Photographs should be sent in jpg-format. Attach also information on the photographer as well as the situation and people showed in the picture.

Author information

At the end of the text include also basic information of the author (name, title, profession, institutional affiliation and preferably also e-mail).

How to submit the text?

Please, send the text in RTF format by e-mail to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. . Before submitting the text, make sure that English language has been checked.

Editorial process

All the texts are edited by editorial staff before publishing. The aim is to ensure that a text is easily accessible and as interesting as possible for a reader. After editing the author has an opportunity to check the text before it will be published.
