"A comprehensive guide for authors – especially students and budding scholars – designed to facilitate communication and understanding between authors and editors at CODESRIA, covering aspects of presentation and organization of manuscripts, notes and reference systems, tables and illustrations, obtaining permissions to reproduce material, preparing text on disk, dealing with copy editing queries and proofs, preparing an index, and more. While principally designed for CODESRIA authors, it will be useful for any author preparing a manuscript for publication." (Hans M. Zell, Publishing, Books & Reading in Sub-Saharan Africa, 3d ed. 2008, nr. 2454)
