General guidelines
Authors are encouraged to present an original,
scholarly contribution, a perceptive
restructuring of existing knowledge, or a
discussion of an idea with information and
references on how to learn more about the
topic. Previously published pieces or those
being considered for publication elsewhere
should not be submitted.
The journal welcomes translations and
bibliographies, provided they meet Al-ʽArabiyya
guidelines.
Book reviews are 500-1,000 words in length, and
are commissioned by the book review editor. To
propose a review, please contact the book
review editor, Gregory Bell, directly:
aatabookrevieweditor
aataweb.org. Reviews of current and
recently published textbooks are particularly
welcome. The journal also considers review
articles, which are approximately 1,500 words
in length, double spaced. Review articles treat
a major work or works in the field as judged by
the editor and the book review editor. Please
propose a review article to the book review
editor or the editor prior to submission.
Submission procedures
The length of articles should be appropriate to
the material treated and should not exceed
7,000 words (no more than 25 pp. in Times New
Roman, 12 pt., double spaced).
Articles with examples in
transliterated/transcribed Arabic must use
Doulos SIL (available free:
http://tinyurl.com/AATA-Translit-Font)
for those transcriptions/transliterations. It
is acceptable to include appropriate tables,
figures, and illustrations but, upon
acceptance, it is the author's responsibility
to provide high-resolution, digital versions of
each, as well as permission (if necessary) for
their use. The journal follows the Chicago
Manual of Style, 16th edition, and submissions
should, too. Articles in Arabic will be
considered and must be submitted using SIL's
Scheherazade font (available free:
http://tinyurl.com/AATA-Arabic-Font).
Submissions are only accepted by email
attachment. Please attach both a PDF version
and an original MS Word document. Number all
pages consecutively in the upper right-hand
corner. Include an abstract in English of
approximately 100 to 150 words at the beginning
of the article.
To aid the blind review process: Remove
author's name and identifying remarks from the
article. Include a cover sheet with: author's
name, mailing address, email address, telephone
number, academic affiliation, and title of the
article. For submissions with multiple authors,
include all authors' information on the cover
sheet.
Articles will not be returned to
contributors.
