China Report Seeks Manuscripts
China Report encourages free expression and discussion of different ideas, approaches and viewpoints which assist in the better understanding of China and its East Asian neighbours. It welcomes original manuscripts from scholars and research students working on contemporary China and East Asia.

1 Manuscripts and all editorial correspondence should be addressed to: The Editor, China Report, Institute of Chinese Studies, 29, Rajpur Road, Delhi 110 054. E-mail: ics@ndf.vsnl.net.in

2 Contributors must provide their affiliations and complete postal and e-mail addresses with their papers.

3 Manuscripts must be submitted in duplicate and should be typed on one side of the paper (preferably A4) and double-spaced throughout (not only the text but also displayed quotations, notes, references and any other matter). Manuscripts should be accompanied by a CD-ROM or floppy disc in IBM compatible format, preferably in MS Word, and identical in every respect to the hard copy. All articles must be accompanied by an abstract of 150-200 words. Notes should be numbered serially and presented at the end of the article. Notes must contain more than a mere reference.

4 British spellings throughout; universal 's' in '-ise', '-isation' words.

5 Use single quotes throughout. Double quotes only used within single quotes. Spellings of words in quotations should not be changed. Quotations of 45 words or more should be separated from the text and indented with one space with a line space above and below.

6 Use 'nineteenth century', '1980s'. 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.

7 Use of italics and diacriticals should be minimised, but it should be consistent whenever used. China Report follows the Hanyu Pinyin system of romanisation for Chinese personal names, place names and titles of books, periodicals, etc. In citations where the original uses a different system, its Hanyu Pinyin equivalent should be given in parentheses. Exceptions to this are some familiar names such as Chiang Kai-shek, Goumindang, Hong Kong and names of Chinese living outside China.

8. A consolidated alphabetical list of all books, articles, essays and theses referred to (including any referred to in the tables, graphs and maps) should be provided. It should be typed in double-spacing and will be printed at the end of the article. All articles, books and theses should be listed in alphabetical order of author, giving the author's surname first followed by initials. If more than one publication by the same author is listed, the items should be given in chronological order. References should be embedded in the text in the anthropological style. For example: '(Sarkar 1987: 145)'. Citations should be first alphabetical and then chronological, for example, '(Ahmed 1987; Sarkar 1987; Wignaraja 1960)'. The detailed style of referencing is as follows:

Ray, Hemen, Peking and the Indian Communists (Bombay: Democratic Centre, 1980), pp. 16-26.

Yang Guoyu et al., Dangdai Zhongguo haijun (Contemporary Chinese Navy) (Beijing: Chinese Social Sciences Press, 1988). (Note: Retain the name of Chinese authors in romanised spelling using the sequence of surname as given by the author. Many Chinese authors living in the West put their surname last while those in China retain the original format with the surname first.)

Hertel, Bradley and Cynthia Ann Humes (Eds.), Living Banaras: Hindu Religion in Cultural Context (New York: State University of New York Press, 1993), p. 148.
