Amongst others... Although anthropological and ethnographic approaches are central to the journal, we also welcome contributions from other disciplines including folklore, history, sociology, psychology, parapsychology and indeed any discipline which has an interesting contribution to make. If you have an idea for an article that you think would be suitable for the publication, or have any questions or comments, please don't hesitate to get in touch with the editor via [log in to unmask] Articles should be written in an academic, though accessible style, and should utilise the Harvard referencing system (for information visit http://paranthropologyjournal.weebly.com/submit.html). All articles should be submitted no later than September 15th so that they have enough time to go through the peer-review process. We are also on the look-out for interesting book reviews and news items, so if you have anything you'd like to share please don't hesitate to get in touch. I hope to hear from some of you soon.
