Manuscripts should be double-spaced and a statement of word length should be added to the end of the article. Please use single quotation marks (or double quotation marks within quotations), aligned margins, and single spacing throughout the text (with a space between each paragraph). Paragraphs should not be indented.

It is preferred that all contributions are submitted electronically (via email attachment) in Microsoft Word or equivalent. Please include brief author biography with submissions.

Note: Academic Research

All academic research will be peer-reviewed. Contributions must be referenced (as ‘Works Cited’) in MLA style, for example:

Probyn, Elspeth. Sexing the Self. London and New York : Routledge, 1993.

Research articles are to be no longer than 6000 words in length, emailed as a Microsoft Word attachment. Kurungabaa follows the MLA style guidelines, except for citations within the text. These are to be provided with bibliographic information in the form of endnotes (numbering from 1 upwards). Multiple further citations of the same source can be indicated by page number within the text, ie. (12); this should be accompanied by a statement in the text’s preceding endnote such as: ‘Further references are included within the text’. Citing the page number within the text ceases when the next footnote appears, but later references to a work already cited can be shortened to author and title within the endnotes (ie. Gunew, Framing Marginality 13). Quotations are to be enclosed in single quotation marks (using double marks only with embedded quotations).

Example:

1.Gunew, Sneja. Framing Marginality: multicultural literary studies. Carlton: Melbourne University Press, 1994. 12.
2.Lingis, Alphonso. ‘Typhoons’. Cultural Studies Review. 8:1 (2002): 95.

    Do you accept relevant press releases that may be of interest to the surfing community?

    Heya ozlat,

    We will take press releases if they are of interest to the surfing community. But no promotion of products, we do not do advertising. So let us know what the press release is about and we will let you know asap.

    Cheers,

    Clif.

    Hi Chris,

    Good to here from you! Yes, the thread is closed.

    If you send through the post it will be circulated to the editors for review. They offer fantastic and constructive advice, and if there are any edits we get them off to you.

    So please do send through the case study. We would be stoked.

    I am looking forward to having a read!

    Stay wet mate.

    Clif.
