The Journal of Pan African Studies
Seeks work that presents original research methods/theory, adds to a body of research, announces research findings, guides future research, explore theories, distributes new knowledge, presents new ideas, invites discussion, introduces research reviews, and provides new Pan African Studies centered terminology. Hence, submitted articles should have: an introduction, literature review (annotated bibliographies accepted), a methodological construct, results, discussion, conclusions, and suggested steps for further research that can intellectually engage scholars, students and others with interest in African world community studies (Pan African Studies).
The Journal of Pan African Studies is published four times a year (March, June, September, December), with occasional supplemental special issues. The Journal of Pan African Studies is indexed via ProQuest, Thompson Gale, and EBSCO products. As a trans-disciplinary scholarly journal devoted to a synthesis of African world community studies and research that works to ask questions and seek answers to critical contemporary and historical issues, based on an affirmative African centered logic and language of liberation, we have decided not to use the term 'tribe' or slaves in reference to the African experience. Therefore all contributors should acknowledge this policy before submitting content. The preferred alternative terms-concepts include 'ethnic group' and'the enslaved'. In regards to the use of the word “Black,” when it is used to indicate people of African heritage, we recommend that it be capitalized. All manuscripts must be original (hence, not under consideration at any other journal) and submitted in MS word format via e-mail (jpanafrican@yahoo.com). The entire work should not exceed twenty-five double-spaced pages with a concise title, abstract, and a standard scholarly citations (see past issues for format organization); articles (or parts of articles) in languages other than English will be considered, however they must also be presented in English, and all submissions must list the author's current affiliation and contact points (location, e-mail address, etc.).
