:: Submission of manuscripts

* Unsolicited manuscripts
We welcome manuscripts on gender studies, women study, history, economic study, development study and human rights. We are also very interested in autobiographies and biographies.

In order to plan for your manuscript, it is always advisable to discuss the idea with the publisher before submitting it.

* JANPC also considers recent theses for publication. However, they should be in the fields described above. Also, the authors need to realise that these are for examination and need more work to turn them into publications for a wider audience.

JANPC works with authors in the editing process thus cutting down on costs.
