GJoLLL STYLESHEET

Please follow these guidelines closely when preparing your paper for submission.

• All papers for publication should be sent to the Editor-in-chief at gjolll@uew.edu.gh
• The working language of GJoLLL is British English.
• However, papers may be submitted in other languages with the express permission of the Editorial Board and based on the availability of qualified language specific reviewers.
• Articles should not exceed 10,000 words in length double spaced (including end notes and references), on A4 size paper, and should include an abstract of up to 300 words in both English (and the approved language).
• The first page of articles for GJoLLL should contain the title but not the author’s name.
• The article should have a separate page with the title and abstract.
• The article should also have a separate page with author details including the title and the author’s name with full contact information including mailing address, phone numbers and email address.  
• Please ensure all identifying information is removed from your documents.
• Submissions should use APA style, including a complete list of references.  Footnotes may be used where necessary to provide further edification.   
• Illustrative quotations less than two lines long should be within double quotation marks “…” and not separated from the text.
• Longer quotations may be set out and indented on both sides, without quotation marks. The source reference should come immediately after the quotation or in the sentence immediately before it.
• Figures and diagrams should be drawn in black ink on white background and require little or no reduction in size. Illustrations should also be submitted electronically. Colour may only be used in exceptional circumstances.
• Words or short passages in languages other than English may be included, but if you use a non-standard font with your word processor a copy of the font should also be included in your electronic submission.
• Words in any language other than English should be italicised.
• English glosses of italicized texts everywhere in paper should appear in ‘single inverted quotation marks’. Example: From Twi (Kwa): abofra             ‘child’.
• Doulos SIL is preferred for African language texts.
• GJoLLL checks for plagiarism. Any submission found to have been plagiarized, including self-plagiarism, either in whole or in part, will be rejected. 
• Avoid or minimize self-citation. Where it is necessary to cite your own work, delete your name and other identifying information and place substitute words in brackets (e.g., author, name deleted). Do not include the reference in the reference list, but remember to include it before submitting your final draft if the paper is accepted.
• Failure to follow the stylesheet could result in rejection of submitted manuscripts.
