Editorial Team
Editorial correspondence may be addressed to the co-editors Elaine Lewis and Jane Gilmour. Members of the Editorial Committee and the Advisory Board are happy to discuss prospective contributions. Articles should be submitted electronically in Microsoft Word format according to the FAR Submissions Guide. This guide is based on the Chicago citation style which is now widely used for academic writing in the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences. There are two formats of referencing within the Chicago style – the Editors of The French Australian Review have chosen the ‘footnotes-bibliography’ style.
