Format Guidelines for Authors for JAC

All articles should be sent in as a Word-document or .rtf in Windows version. Please use Times New Roman for normal text, or other (Windows) Unicode fonts for special languages, e.g., Greek. Standard academic transliteration systems and hieroglyphic Egyptological fonts are also accepted. However, a copy of all specialized fonts, such as hieroglyphs, transliteration, Demotic, Coptic, Greek and Arabic, used in the manuscript should be provided as a file. Downloadable transliteration fonts, such as the CCER Transliteration font (http://www.ccer.nl) and the Lingua Aegyptia Umschrift font (http://wwwuser.gwdg.de/~lingaeg/lingaeg-stylesheet.htm), are accepted, too.

All hieroglyphic passages used in the text should be supplied as separate artwork accompanied by the corresponding Gardiner sign-list numbers. For all signs not in Gardiner’s list please provide an enlarged version on a separate page.
