Dedication to Philip Nel - Call for articles

Dear Colleagues,

As you probably know, our revered colleague, a former chair of SASNES, and a longstanding member of SASNES and OTSSA, Philip Nel, retired at the end of last year. In recognition of his vast contribution to Near Eastern Studies and related disciplines in South Africa, the editor of JSem has decided to dedicate the second number of 2010 to Philip.

As the normal publication schedule of JSem does not allow a number to be set aside, the number would be filled with articles ready for publication at that time, preceded by a dedication. Should you however have something available that you specifically want dedicated to Philip, you are most welcome to indicate it as such in your submission to the editor. Just a reminder though that for articles to feasibly complete the review process in time, they are due at the editors by 28 February 2010 at the latest and should be sent to Willem Boshoff or Fanie Cronje directly.

For more information you may get in touch with Jackie du Toit at dutoitjs.hum@ufs.ac.za - the JSem style sheet may also be found on the SASNES website.

JSem is an accredited journal and all submissions will be subjected to the normal rigorous peer review process as is the case for all submissions to this journal - the publication of submissions can therefore not be guaranteed beforehand.
