STYLE SHEET
This style sheet is intended as a guide for authors submitting a
manuscript to Indian Journal
of
Public Administration and as ·an aid to the
preparation
of
the final copy
of
accepted articles.
Manuscript
• Manuscripts should include the name
and
the institutional
affiliation
of
the author(s).
• Manuscripts (only
in
English) should use British spelling and
typographical conventions.
Articles
• There should be no line spaces between paragraphs. Each new
paragraph should be indented except for the first paragraph.
• Notes and References should be listed at the end
of
the main
text.
• Manuscripts should
be
typed in Times
New
Roman, font size
12, each page numbered.
• A
one-paragraph
abstract
(upper
limit
100
words)
must
accompany the submission.
Punctuation
and
abbreviations
• Single quotation marks should be used to enclose actual quotes
from your own text
or
for technical terms when they are first
introduced.
On
subsequent mention
of
technical terms, no
quotation marks should be used. Excessive use
of
quotes should
be avoided.
• Double quotation marks are used to enclose quotes within text
which is itself quoted.
• Latin abbreviations such as
'i.e.'
or
'e.g.'
are acceptable only
in expressions within parentheses, as here: 'adjectives which
collocate with fare (e.g. wholesome, simple, country) ..
.'
Elsewhere, they should be replaced
by
their English equivalents,
'that
is'
or
'for
example'. Italic should not
be
used for such
abbreviation nor for such common Latin
expressio~
as
'ad
hoc',
'et
al.,' etc.
• Numbers
up
to 9 and vaguely expressed numbers should be
spelled
out
in words. However, any numbers in a statistical
context, precise numbers, units
of
measurement, and numbers
above 100 should be stated
in
figures.
