| (A Quarterly Review of Social Trends) |

Social Action has been published continuously since 1951 by the Indian Social Institute. This Journal has been capturing the social dimension of independent India. It is now published by the Social Action Trust. The Journal attempts to reach activists in the field with committed intellectual and theoretical concerns, as well as intellectuals and academics seriously committed to action in the field. This is a delicate balance to maintain and the editorial team strives to keep the Journal relevant and informative to both sets of readers.

The length of the article should be between 4500-5000 words.

Its publication depends on quality and availability of space.
SOCIAL ACTION is published on the 15th of January, April, July and October.
1.References should also be typed in double space at the end of the article. References in the text should follow the author - date system - for example, ‘Shah (1960:60); or ‘(Shah 1960: 60)’, ‘ibid.’ (not italicised) can be used when a reference is repeated within the same paragraph. Citations should appear alphabetically - for example, ‘(Shah 1960: 60; Uberoi 1979: 11; Wignaraja 1968: 12)’; and multiple references of the same date for any one author should be distinguished thus: ‘(Shah 1960a: 60; 1960b: 80)’. The detailed style for referencing is:
Durkheim, Emile. 1915. The elementary forms of the religious life (trans. Joseph Ward Swain). London: George Allen and Unwin.
Reynolds, Frank E. 1971. Buddhism and sacral kingship: The case of Thailand. Ph.D. dissertation, University of Chicago.
Srinivas, M.N. 1959. “The dominant caste in Rampura.” American anthropologist 61, 1: 1-16.
2. Quotations should be placed in double quotation marks, reserving single quotation marks for a quote within a quote. Long quotes (i.e. 45 words or more) should be indented to set them apart from the text. No quote marks are required around indented quotes.
3. British spellings to be used rather than American. Thus, ‘programe’ not ‘program’.
4. Headings within an article should be short and limited to two or, at most three levels.
5.Figures between one and ninety-nine should be spelt out, 100 and above should remain in figures. However, exact measurements and percentages are always expressed in figures - for example, ‘3 per cent’; ‘6 km’. |
