Debate

Notes  to  the Contributors

The Indian Foreign Affairs Journal is a quarterly publication, the first of its type in India. In the context of  India emerging as an important player in international affairs, the challenges before its foreign policy have been growing. The  issues  involved  in India's foreign policy call for a  larger debate and discussion both within and outside  the country. The  journal aims  to cater  to  the need  to bring  in various perspectives on  these developments and present policy options  to  the decision-makers, analysts, and  interest groups,  in  the country.

1.       The journal invites contributions on all aspects of India's foreign policy and relations to be considered for publication. Manuscripts and all editorial correspondence should be addressed  to:

The Editor,  Indian Foreign Affairs Journal, Sapru House, Barakhamba Road, New Delhi – 110001, E-mail: <ifajournal@gmail.com> 

2.       Affiliations with, complete postal and e-mail address of contributors must be provided along    with  their papers.

3.       Articles should be typed on one side of the paper (preferably A 4) and double-spaced throughout (even for quotations, notes,  references), accompanied by a soft copy  (identical  to  the hard copy)  in  IBM compatible  format, preferably  in MS Word. (However should the author so wish, the hard copy can be  generated at  the editorial office).

4.       Notes and  references  should be numbered  serially and presented at  the end of  the article.       

5.       Use British  rather  than American  spellings.

6.       Use double quotes throughout. Single quotes marks used within double quotes. Spellings of words     in quotations should not be changed. Quotations of three or more lines should be indented with single space, with a  line  space above and below.

7.       Use 'twentieth century', '1990s'. Spell out numbers from one to ninety-nine, 100 and above to remain in figures. However, for exact measurements use only figures (3 km, 9 per cent not %). Use thousands and millions, not  lakhs and crores.

8.       Use of  italics and diacriticals  should be minimized, but used consistently.

9.       Tables and figures  to be  indicated by number separately (see Table 1), not by placement (see Table  below). Present each table and figure on a separate sheet of paper, gathering them together at the end of the article.
