Manuscript Submission: Manuscripts and all editorial correspondence should be addressed to: The Editors, Gender, Technology and Development, Gender and Development Studies, Asian Institute of Technology, PO. Box 4, Klong Luang, Pathum Thani 12120, Thailand. Email: gtdjournal@ait.ac.th. All submissions should be made electronically using Microsoft Word or other standard word processing software.

The Guidelines: Guidelines specified in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th edition, 2001) must be followed.

- Contributors must provide their affiliation, complete postal and email addresses, and fax and telephone numbers with their articles.

- It is the author's responsibility to disclose any potential conflict of interest regarding the manuscript.

- All articles sent for consideration should be unpublished and not currently under consideration for publication elsewhere.

- Articles should be no longer than 8,000 words, inclusive of abstract, references, notes, tables and figures.

- Articles must be accompanied by an abstract of 150-200 words.

- The authors should provide five to eight keywords for their articles (for example: gender; technology; development; women; men; gender mainstreaming; gender perspective; gender roles; gender discrimination; gender relations; gender neutrality; gender implications; women's participation; women's rights).

- All figures, i.e., diagrams, images and photographs, and tables should be provided separate from the text at the end and numbered in the order that they appear in text. Locations of tables and figures should be indicated in the text using callouts (e.g., "[insert Table 1 here]") inserted after the respective paragraphs. Each figure and table should have a heading, an explanatory caption if necessary, and a source or reference in a separate file.

- Notes should be numbered serially, the numbers embedded in the manuscript. The notes should be presented at the end of the article. Notes must contain more than a mere reference.

- Limit the levels of heading within an article to two, or at most three. Avoid lengthy headings and do not number them.

- Use American spellings rather than British throughout ("labor" not "labour", "center" not "centre"; universal "-ize" and "-ization" of words). Use serial comma.

- It is the responsibility of authors to ensure that their papers are written as per an acceptable international standard of English.

- Articles should use non-sexist and non-racist language.

- When referring to social actors "woman" should be used, not "female", and "women" not "females", unless the context requires otherwise. Similarly, "man" and "men" should be used, not "male" and "males". "Female" and "male" should be used when referring to the construction of a social identity.

- Use double quotes throughout. Single quotes should only be used within double quotes. Spellings of words in quotations should not be changed. Quotations of 45 words or more should be separated from the text and indented with a line space above and below.

- Use "nineteenth century", "1980s". Spell out numbers from one to nine, 10 and above to remain in fi gures. However, for exact measurements use only figures (3 km, 9 percent not %). Use thousands and millions (e.g., not lakhs and crores).

- Use of italics and diacriticals should be minimized, but used consistently. Avoid excessive use of italics for emphasis, but use it for book titles, journal names, and foreign words.

- A consolidated alphabetical list of all books, articles, essays, and theses referred to (including any referred to in the tables, graphs, and maps) in the text should be provided at the end of the article. References for tables and figures should accompany the table or figure. If more than one publication by the same author is listed, the items should be given in chronological order. References should be embedded in text in the author-date method of citation. For example: (Konhert, 2007: p. 12), (Kannabiran et al, 2008, pp. 175-200).
