| Information for
prospective authors
It is the policy of the Journal to publish papers covering the
technical, economic, policy, environmental and social aspects of
energy research and development carried out in, or relevant to,
South Africa. Only previously unpublished work will be accepted;
conference papers delivered but not published elsewhere are also
welcomed. Short comments, not exceeding 500 words, on articles
appearing in the Journal are invited. Relevant items of general
interest, news, statistics, technical notes, reviews and research
results will also be included, as will announcements of recent
publications, reviews, conferences, seminars and meetings.
Those wishing to submit contributions must comply with the
guidelines below.
Submissions
All contributions
should be submitted in English.
Only original work
will be accepted, and copyright in published articles will be vested
in the publisher. Conference papers delivered but not published may
be considered for publication.
The suggested length
for full-length articles is 3 000 to 5 000 words. All full-length
articles are refereed, and recommended amendments to scripts will be
required before final acceptance.
The Editorial
Committee reserves the right to make editorial changes to all
contributions.
Format
Contributions should
be in electronic format, and submitted either on disk or via e-mail.
They should preferably be in a format compatible with MS Word (if
this is not possible, then please discuss alternatives with the
Editor). The Editor might also request the submission of a printed
version.
Text should be
single-spaced, with a wide left-hand margin. Standard international
(SI) units must be used throughout.
An abstract of the
article should be provided, not exceeding 500 words, resuming the
contents and conclusions of the article. A maximum of six keywords
should be included, reflecting the entries the author(s) would like
to see in the annual Subject Index published in the last issue for
the year. The keywords may consist of more than one word each, but
the entire concept should not be more than 30 characters long,
including spaces.
References must be
made according to the Harvard (author, date) system. See articles in
the JESA for examples of this and of other aspects of its house
style.
Notes, where
unavoidable, should not be automatically embedded, but gathered at
the end of the article and indicated in the text by means of
sequential numbers in superscript.
Numbers for
headings, captions for tables and figures should be inserted, rather
than automatically generated.
Illustrations and
tables
If the contribution
is accepted, original electronic versions of graphs must be
supplied, produced, where possible, with MS Office programmes
(Excel, PowerPoint). For photographs and non-electronically produced
drawings, the originals will have to be provided, or scans of an
acceptable quality (minimum 300DPI). Illust-rations must not be
provided in full colour, and must be suitable for monochrome
printing.
Illustrations and
tables should appear in their proper places in the submitted
document (not gathered at the end). All should be referred to in the
text, numbered sequentially (but not automatically), and with
accompanying captions.
General
No material will be
returned to the author(s) following publication unless this is
requested by at the time of original submission.
At the time of
submission, the author(s) must state that the contribution has not
been published and is not being considered for publication
elsewhere, and will not be submitted for publication elsewhere
unless rejected by the Journal of Energy in Southern Africa or
withdrawn by the author(s).
Authors must supply
a brief CV (maximum of 500 words), which includes the following
personal information (for the Details of authors section): surname,
initials, address, contact telephone/fax numbers, email address,
qualifications, occupation and/or employment.
Authors of accepted
contributions will receive three free copies of the issue in which
their contribution appears.
Neither the
Editorial Committee nor the Publisher accepts responsibility for the
opinions or viewpoints expressed, or for the correctness of facts
and figures.
All contributions

in Southern Africa, Energy Research Centre, University of Cape Town,
