As a rule the editors will require that articles be original and not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Articles should not exceed 12,000 words. English will remain the primary language of the journal. Articles in one or another of the indigenous languages of the Middle East and North Africa will be accompanied by a complete English translation or a comprehensive English abstract.
Review articles are by invitation only.
Additionally, all contributions must be submitted on an IBM-compatible disk. Contributions sent electronically as attachments will not be accepted. Rejected manuscripts and disks will be returned only upon request by ordinary mail, unless the cost of airmail postage is paid in advance. The editors will not hold themselves responsible for the loss of manuscripts or disks. Contributors should hold duplicates of everything submitted.
