Text

Journal of the Global Nepali Diaspora is a multidisciplinary journal that publishes papers from different viewpoints using different disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches related to Nepal and Nepali Diaspora. As such, no specific format for papers is prescribed. But all papers should provide details of the methodology used, as appropriate. Arguments should be substantiated and supported, and authors should acknowledge appropriately other work in the field.

Journal of the Global Nepali Diaspora uses British English spelling.

All authors are asked to take account diverse potential audiences.

Clearly explain all terms, and avoid the use of terms that might be meaningful only locally or nationally.

All acronyms should be spelt out the first time they are introduced in the text or references. Thereafter, the acronym should be used if appropriate, e.g. “Centre for Nepal Studies United Kingdom (CNSUK) is an organisation registered in England and Wales under the Companies Act 2006. The CNSUK is founded and run by a team of high-level professionals and the organisation benefits from a range of skills and experiences of well-established university professors, who act as the advisors of CNSUK.

Length: Papers should be no longer than 9000 words including footnotes and references.

Font: Times New Roman, size 12.

Numbers one to nine should be written out and higher numbers expressed in figures.

Footnotes should be placed as endnotes following the last page of the text. Footnotes to the text should be limited as much as possible and must be numbered consecutively. The corresponding reference numbers must be clearly indicated in the text e.g. ‘The 1951, 1990 and the current (2008) political change'[1]
