Social Process in Hawai`i: Instructions to Authors

With the support of the Andrew W. Lind Social Process in Hawai`i Fund, we welcome suggestions and submissions for special issues (thematic edited works, small monographs) in addition to occasional issues of a more general character. Contributions are encouraged from University faculty, graduate and undergraduate students in Sociology and other disciplines as well as other knowledgeable persons in the community. Preference will be given to research based upon sound methodologies and systematic evidence. Articles should employ a mid-level ofwriting and minimize technical terms. The presentation of complex statistical techniques should be kept to a minimum, and where used, should be accompanied by a clear textual description of the technique and its results.

Manuscripts are evaluated by the editors and other referees. Editors may occasionally solicit manuscripts, but in general most selections will be from among unsolicited manuscripts. Authors interested in submitting manuscripts for consideration should send three copies to Social Process in Hawai`i, Department of Sociology, Saunders Hall 247, University of Hawai`i at Manoa, Honolulu, HI 96822.

The following guidelines should be observed in preparation of the manuscript:

  • Due to space limitations, short articles are preferred. Manuscripts should not exceed 15 double-spaced pages. Photographs, charts and graphs are welcome.
  • Preparation of copy and the format for references should follow the guidelines of the American Sociological Review. In case of unusual problems, consult the Editor.
  • Manuscripts submitted to the journal should be of final draft quality; the editor reserves the right to make minor editorial changes.
  • The University of Hawai`i guidelines for allocating credit for research and writing should be observed.
