Guidelines to Contributors
North Eastern Research Bulletin welcomes original articles. Articles (not exceeding 8000 words) must be typed on one side of the paper, double spaced with wide margins on all four sides. An abstract (not exceeding 250 words) must accompany the article along with at least four key words.
Within the text, adopt the author-date method of citation minus the comma, for example, (James 2000). If more than one work of an author is cited, separate the years of publication with a comma (Ghosh 1999, 2000). Separate the page number of citation by a colon (Uberoi 2002:264) and hyphenate the inclusive numbers (Uberoi 2002:264-65). When more than one author is cited, the entries should be chronological with works of different authors separated by semicolon (Omvedt 1990; Hasan 1994; Mayaram 1997). For co authored works, cite both names (Jayal and Pai 2001); for works authored by three or more authors, use ‘et al.’ after the first name (Hazarika et al. 2001). If a citation is repeated within a paragraph without intervening citations, use ibid. instead of repeating the authors name again, and provide the relevant page number(s) (ibid:23). If gazetteers, reports and works of governmental organization and other institutions are cited, mention the name of the organization/institution sponsoring the publication in the citation, fully spelt out at its first occurrence (Government of India 2003), and use its abbreviation/acronym in subsequent citation (GOI 2003).
Give separately the bibliographic details of all works cited in the article under references in the following sequence: (a) Article: the name(s) of the author(s);the year of publication; title of the article (within single inverted comas); the name of the journal (italicized); and the volume number, the issue number, and the beginning and ending page numbers. (b) Chapter in an edited work or compilation: the name(s) of the author(s); the year of publication; title of the article (with single inverted commas); the name(s) of the edior(s)/compiler(s); title of the book (italicized); the beginning and ending page numbers of the chapter; place of publication; and the name of the publisher. (c) Book: the name(s) of the author(s); the year of publication; title of the book (italicized); place of publication; and the name of the publisher). The listing of references must follow the alphabetical order of the last name of the (first) author.
Use British, rather than American, spellings (laboour, not labor; programme, not program).
Contributors are required to provide on a separate sheet their name, designation, official address and email ID. Only articles which have not been published earlier or which are not being considered for publication elsewhere will be entertained. A declaration to this effect must be included in the covering letter.
Cite sentences or words taken from other works with single quotation mark; use double quotation marks only within quotations. Separate quotations exceeding fifty words from the text and indent them on the left. Unless the entire sentence is part of the quotation, the punctuation must remain outside the quotation marks.
The responsibilities for the facts stated, opinions expresses and conclusions drawn is entirely that of the authors. Neither the Editor nor the members of the Editorial Board and Editorial Advisory Board of NERB are anyway responsible.
