AOC is the voice of the anthropological study of consciousness. In this role, AOC
accepts papers from anthropologists who are concerned with all aspects of this area of
inquiry, welcoming contributions from all fields within the discipline. The journal
also welcomes submissions from scholars in other disciplines, both humanities and
sciences.
AOC follows The Chicago Manual of Style
(14th edition, University of Chicago Press, 1993) for most matters of style, including
hyphenation, capitalization, punctuation, abbreviations, and grammar, and Merriam-Webster's
Collegiate Dictionary (10th edition, 1993) for spelling.
Please submit to the editor at the address below manuscripts in triplicate (3 copies),
accompanied, if possible, by a disk using a common word processing program. Authors
who wish to have their manuscripts returned must include a self-addressed, stamped
envelope. Manuscripts must be double-spaced, including quotations, notes,
references, and figure captions. Use one side of a 81/2-by-11 inch or A-4 bond paper
(do not use erasable or onion skin paper). Margins throughout the manuscript (top,
bottom, and both sides) must be at least 1 inch; the right margin should not be justified
and character spacing should not be proportional. Dot matrix print is acceptable
only if the characters are clear and have legible ascenders and descenders.
Include as separate sections beginning on new pages a title page with the complete
title and the name and affiliation and address of each author, include e-mail address if
desired; the abstract; the text of the paper; notes; references; figure captions; and each
table. Number all pages consecutively.
References: All entries in the reference list must be cited in the
text, and vice versa. In the text, references are cites in parentheses, with last
name, year of publication, and where necessary, page numbers. The reference list
should be in the style of American Anthropologist (AA): ordered
alphabetically by author's last name; author on one line, primary author's last name
first; date of publication indented on the next line, followed by title and then
publisher's city and name. All subsequent lines should be indented beyond the date.
No underlining or boldface should be used in the reference list. The AA style
manual is available to download from the AAA's web site: www.aaanet.org.
Illustrations: AOC generally publishes black and
white pen and ink drawings which can be scanned and formatted as Macintosh PICT or TIFF
files. Photographs will be considered. AOC publishes reviews of books,
films, videos, and other productions related to the anthropological study of
consciousness. For a style sheet for reviews, click here.
