The editorial board of the Pacific Asia Inquiry invites submissions of linguistics-focused articles, critical essays, and case studies (both applied and theoretical) specific to the Pacific Islands and Asia regions for possible publication in Volume 8. Submissions from across the liberal arts and social sciences are also welcome. The Pacific Asia Inquiry is a peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary journal published online by the University of Guam College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences. It features in-depth studies on the Pacific and adjacent Asia, particularly including the Mariana Islands and greater Micronesia. Contributors are invited not only to share their innovative research but also to challenge extant positions and perspectives. Any theoretical or methodological approach may be employed so long as it is documented in a readable style of writing that is accessible to specialists and non-specialists alike. The deadline for submissions is July 15, 2017.

SUBMISSION PROCEDURES:
Include the following as three separate files:
1) a cover page, which includes authors’ names, titles, affiliations, and addresses, including street and e-mail addresses;
2) a title page, which includes the title of the article and an abstract of the paper (the abstract should be no more than 150 words); and
3) the main text, including photos, tables, figures, media, and references.
Our blind peer-review process requires that authors’ names and addresses appear only on the cover page. No identifying information may appear in the abstract or text itself. Relevant publications, including those written by the authors, may appear in the reference section as long as nothing is said to connect the reference with the authors.

GENERAL SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:
Submissions should not exceed 10,000 words, including tables and references. Please follow the conventions of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th ed., 2009), or the MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing (7th ed., 2009). Indent the first word of a paragraph by half an inch or five spaces (one “tab”), and number all pages consecutively, putting numbers in the lower right-hand corner. Figures, tables, and photos should be inserted into manuscript at the time of initial submittal, and they need to be appropriately titled, sourced, and numbered consecutively. Endnotes should be used and references should appear at the end of the paper. Do not insert automatic formatting anywhere in the manuscript. Additional guidelines apply. Please visit http://www.uog.edu/schools-and-colleges/college-of-liberal- arts-and-social-sciences/publications/pacific-asia-inquiry-4 for full guidelines and for access to previous volumes of Pacific Asia Inquiry, which may be used as a general reference.
