Author Guidelines

KIOO CHA LUGHA ni jarida la Kimataifa la Taasisi ya Taaluma za Kiswahili linalochapisha makala za lugha, fasihi na isimu. Jarida huchapishwa katika Juzuu moja kila mwaka. Makala inaweza kuandikwa katika lugha ya Kiswahili au Kiingereza.

Makala: Waandishi wanaombwa kuwasilisha nakala ngumu mbili za kila makala na nakala-tepe kwa kutumia anwani ya barua-pepe ya iks@udsm.ac.tz au ya wahariri husika. Makala inapaswa kuwa na kichwa cha makala, jina la mwandishi, Chuo au Taasisi anayofanyia kazi, anwani ya posta, namba ya simu pamoja na barua-pepe. Taarifa hizi ziandikwe juu kwenye ukurasa wa kwanza.  Makala iwe imechapwa kwa kutumia programu ya Word, kukiwa na nafasi 1.5 kati ya mstari na mstari, na kukiwa na pambizo pana pande zote. Ikisiri isiyozidi maneno 150 iwe mwanzoni mwa makala chini ya taarifa zilizotajwa hapo juu.

Makala itatathminiwa na walau wasomaji wawili bila kuonesha mwandishi ni nani. Epuka utambulisho wowote kumhusu mwandishi, ili wanaoitathmini wasimfahamu mwandishi. Kwa watakaotuma kwa njia ya posta makala itarejeshwa kwa mwandishi pale tu ambapo gharama za usafirishaji zimelipwa. Waandishi ambao makala yao itakubaliwa kuchapishwa, watapatiwa nakala moja ya Jarida lenye makala yao pamoja na malopoo kumi ya makala.

Mifano katika makala: Mifano yote, iwe ya isimu au fasihi, inapaswa kuandikwa kwa herufi koza au kwa italiki, na haina budi kufuatwa na `maana’ yake kama inahitajika. Kwa wanaisimu, ishara zinazoruhusiwa ni zile za Alfabeti ya Kifonetiki ya Kimataifa. Iwapo kutakuwa na haja ya kuwa na ishara tofauti ziandikwe kwenye ukurasa tofauti.

Tanibichini au Tanibimwisho: Tanbihi zitumiwe kwa uwekevu; zisiwe nyingi. Kama mwandishi anatumia tanbihi za mwisho wa makala, zichapwe kwenye ukurasa husika, zikiwa zimeorodheshwa kwa namba.

Marejeleo: Utaratibu wa marejeleo uliozoeleka kwa majarida mbalimbali ndio utumike. Kurejelea andiko katika matini kufanyike kwa kuanza na mwandishi, kisha mwaka na mwisho ukurasa, k.m. Mulokozi (1996:34) au (Mulokozi, 1996:35).

Mwishoni mwa makala, marejeleo yaliyotajwa katika andiko yapangwe kiabjadi. Majina ya vitabu na majarida yaandikwe kwa italiki na yale ya makala yawekwe kwenye ‘alama za kufungua na kufunga semi’ kama inavyooneshwa hapa:

Mulokozi M.M. (1996).  Fasihi ya Kiswahili. Dar es Salaam: Chuo Kikuu Huria cha Tanzania.

Mekacha, R.D.K. (1997). ‘Disconnecting Education,’  katika Journal of Linguistics and Language in Education, 3:95-105. Dar es Salaam: Idara ya Lugha ya Kiswahili na Isimu, Chuo Kikuu cha Dar es Salaam.

Majedwali, michoro, ramani na picha vipangwe kwa unadhifu kwenye ukurasa. Mahali pa kuweka majedwali, michoro au ramani paoneshwe kwa uwazi. Majedwali au michoro isiyokaa vizuri kwenye ukurasa mmoja haitachapwa.

Makala za jarida hili zinapatikana pia Mkondoni kupitia tovuti ya www.udsm.ac.tz na pia katika mkondo wa  Majarida ya Kiafrika  www.ajol.info.
