MS Word template file for articles with bilingual titles and captions, and an extended abstract in the second language.This template can be used for the following types of articles.Research articlesResearch articles should present original research on completed projects or significant discoveries and must present clear conclusions.Word limit: 6000 wordsShort reportsShort reports should present project descriptions. They may be either general reports on completed projects or significant updates for on-going projects. They do not necessarily need to present conclusions or conclusions could be preliminary.Word limit: 1000 wordsMethodology demonstrationsThese articles should explain a new or modified methodology tested by the authors. Authors are encouraged to use a variety of media types (e.g. video, screen shot images, 3D images) in addition to a short written text. Methodology demonstrations do not necessarily need to present conclusions but opinions on the method including its benefits as well as short-comings should be discussed.Word limit: 2000 words Summary, synthesis, and annotated bibliography articlesThese articles present an overview of a particular topic or sub-field with a connection to lithics research. This may be lithics research in a particular country or region. It may also be a historical overview of a topic (e.g. historical perspective of a prehistoric technology, or historical overview of a particular theory), or it may be a summary of knowledge about a lithic material itself or a scientific method. In general, these articles should include an overview of the history of the topic (e.g. history of lithics research in the region) as well as an overview of the current research being done on the topic. They should contain a large bibliography so that readers can use the articles as a starting point for finding references. The author should indicate recommended references.Recommended word limit: 4000 words. General description.The following are the general modifications for English articles with a secondary language. The main difference is that there is an extended abstract in the secondary language (in addition to the regular abstract in English) which is longer than normal. The main purpose of these articles is to help disseminate research in the area in which it was conducted. The extended abstracts help readers determine the content of the article if they have limited English reading skills. Bilingual articles:1. Articles have an extended abstract in the secondary language (see below).2. The title is translated into the secondary language.3. Keywords are in both languages.4. For articles using non-Latin alphabets (e.g. Cyrillic, Arabic, Chinese), Romanisations of the author’s names and contact information are used in the primary front page, but appear in their original alphabet along with the secondary language title and abstract.5. Figure and table captions appear in both English and the secondary language. Figures which contain English text which would be different in the secondary language (e.g. place names or object labels) will have either an explanation or translation in the translated caption, or will provide a glossary at the end of the article. Alternatively, text on the figure may be in both languages if it does not detract from the image.6. As in regular articles, bibliographic references which are not in English will include a translation of the title into English. They may also have a second translation of the title into the secondary language of the article. Additionally, references which are in English will include a translation of the title into the secondary language of this article. Extended abstracts:7. 500-1000 words.8. Follow the same format as the article but have no headings.9. Must mention methodology, overview of results, and conclusions.10. Appear at the end of the article (along with the secondary language title and keywords).

Scientific and research periodicals play an extremely important part in popularizing (and promoting) results of research studies, though this role is not equally appreciated across different domains of science. This becomes apparent if we compare the number of traditional and electronic titles of periodicals in such disciplines as medicine, natural science and exact science on the one side, and those that represent the humanities, broadly understood, on the other. The advantage of electronic content in the former group is overwhelming. Nowadays, we use two terms in relation to periodicals available online and launched on the electronic platform. The terms make a distinction between a degree of their involvement in the cyber space. “Digitalization” means a certain transitory state between traditional periodicals in print and virtual publications; in other words, a product of “digitization” is an electronic copy (e.g. a scanned text) of a text originally published in print, whereas the notion of “digital authorship (the author as digital producer), in Polish: cyfryzacja” deals with an entirely electronic publication with specific properties underlined by multimedia and hypertext capabilities. Digital research information as an entirely new quality has not been yet appropriately appreciated. The history of education as a discipline of research does not have its own electronic platform that would offer peer-reviewed research papers in Open Access (OA), e-books or electronic document repositories. For the time being, the most recent Polish periodical within this discipline, i.e. Biuletyn Historii Wychowania, has only a front page, ToCs and a masthead available online, without access to full-text electronic content.

Abstract The land border for Indonesia and Timor Leste has a strategic and important meaning, for Indonesia the border region is the front page and the face of the Indonesian Nation. In this paper will explain the history and function of land border between Indonesia and Timor Leste. Indonesia and Timor-Leste have a long history of borders, before independence of Timor-Leste's border with Indonesia is not the case because Timor-Leste is still part of Indonesia but after Timor-Leste's independence, the two countries must set boundaries.

The Cambridge History of Capitalism, a formidable compendium of thirty-four essays spread over two volumes (each well over five hundred pages in length), was first conceived by the economic historians Larry Neal and Jeffrey Williamson in 2005. At that time, the “history of capitalism” was not yet a term of art in history departments; even in graduate workshops at Harvard, the locus classicus of the later movement, “political economy” was still the preferred phrase. By the time the book was published in 2014, much had changed: Harvard now offered a program on the “study of capitalism,” Cornell was convening a summer boot camp on the “history of capitalism,” Columbia had a book series on the history of “U.S. capitalism,” the Journal of American History had assembled a roundtable on the theme, and the front page of the New York Times had taken notice. Questions that long seemed the province of other disciplines had come to the forefront in history departments.

Atlanta's human rights community was buzzing, because the United Nations (U.N.) was coming to town. On Sunday, January 19, 1964, the front page of theAtlanta Daily World, the city's oldest black newspaper and the South's only black daily, announced, “United Nations Rights Panel to Visit Atlanta.” The U.N. Sub-Commission on the Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities (Sub-Commission), theDaily Worldexplained, was a fourteen nation “body that surveys the worldwide problems of discrimination.” The Sub-Commission had been invited to Atlanta by Morris Abram, a former Atlanta attorney and the lone United States member of the Sub-Commission, to study first-hand the city's well-publicized, efforts to improve in race relations. Sunday morning'sDaily Worldalso noted that the U.N. delegation “composed of experts, mostly lawyers and jurists” was in the midst of drafting a global treaty designed to end racial discrimination, and the local paper highlighted Abram's role as the primary drafter of the race accord. “Mr. Abram, as the U.S. expert on the subcommission has proposed a sweeping eight-point treaty,” the article reported. According to theDaily World, the pending race treaty—the treaty that would ultimately become the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD or Convention)—would address “segregation, hate groups and discrimination in public accommodations.”

The 1923 publication of Albert Londres’ Au bagne signalled a watershed moment in the history of grand reportage in Third-Republic France. Following this investigation, each newspaper editor wanted his own investigation of the overseas penal colonies on his front page. This chapter argues that the investigations of the penal colonies in Guyane were a nodal point both in the history of grand reportage and in the broader history of the territory. The chapter first refers to early appearances of the Cayenne bagne in literature—such as Zola’s Le Ventre de Paris—and to the predecessors of Londres in Guyane. It then explains Londres’ identity as justicier, enacting a moral intervention whilst at the same time purporting to be an intellectual nomad, along with the function of reportage, between literature and journalism. Within this, it discusses the role of the reader, whom the journalist brings along on his travels. From there, by contrast, the chapter considers the role of the Guyanais, who become side characters in a French drama (‘ne faisant rien, n’ont pas d’histoire’). The chapter concludes by positing that the interwar investigations of the colony and its prisons cemented Guyane as a borderland, at once distinctly French and other.

The issue of asylum seekers and refugees is one of the most contested political issues in Australia. This chapter examines ensuing debates, focusing closely on how refugees and asylum seekers are perceived and responded to in relation to the spatial and emotional dynamics that prevail in Australian society and politics. Specifically, the chapter examines how the issue of asylum is intimately connected to and influenced by highly emotional images circulating in the national media. To do this, the authors first discuss the history of refugees at Australia’s borders. In doing so, the authors underline the key role that political and media representations play in shaping refugee debates and policy. The chapter then undertakes an empirical investigation of two crucial recent periods when refugee debates proliferated in both the media and in politics: August to December 2001 and October 2009 to September 2011. By conducting a content analysis of front-page coverage in The Australian and the Sydney Morning Herald, the authors focus on the particular visual framing that has been used to depict asylum seekers and its emotional and political consequences, highlighting how recurring frames have been used to dehumanize and further displace asylum seekers and refugees in the Australian context. The authors then argue that these visual media depictions associate refugees not with humanitarian challenges and responsibilities, but instead with threats to sovereignty and security.
