South African Deeds Journal

GUIDELINES FOR ARTICLES
IN THE SADJ
SADJ welcomes contributions, in any of the 11 official languages,
especially from deeds office staff and practitioners. The following
guidelines should be complied with:
1. Contributions should as far as possible be original and not published elsewhere.
2. Contributions should be useful or of interest to the conveyancing practice and land
issues. The decision of the editorial committee is final.
3. Authors are required to provide their involvement or interest in any matter discussed
in their contributions.
4. Footnotes should be avoided. Case reference, for instance, should be incorporated into
the text.
5. When referring to publications, the publisher, city and date of publication should be
provided. When citing reported or unreported cases and legislation, full reference details
should be included.
6. Articles should be in a format compatible with Micro-soft Word and should either be
submitted by e-mail or, together with a printout, on a stiffy or compact disk. Letters to the
editor, however, may be submitted in any format.
7. The editorial committee and the editor reserve the right to edit contributions as to style
and language and for clarity and space.
8. Acceptance of material for publication is not a guarantee that it will be included in a
particular issue, since this must depend on the space available.
9. Articles should be submitted to Allen West at e-mail: ASWest@dla.gov.za or Private Bag
X659, Pretoria 0001.
