Te Reo Māori

He Rourou encourages authors to submit their work in te reo Māori or integrate te reo Māori into their texts thoughtfully. Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori guidelines is a helpful resource to support Māori language orthography. He Pātaka Kupu and The Māori Dictionary are also excellent resources for correct spelling and information which will support learning for authors and readers.

The following guidelines are applicable when using kupu Māori. 

  • Provide the English translation in brackets the first time the word is used and then only in te reo Māori for the remainder of the article.
  • A Glossary is only necessary for out-of-the-ordinary kupu or when further research is required. For example, newly created digital technology terms or newly translated terms which you wouldn't yet find in a dictionary.
  • Optional links to papakupu and resources for the readers (these may be included in the publication by the EIC, rather than individual articles).

Contact information 

Supply complete contact information for all authors: Name, affiliation, and email address. If there are multiple authors, indicate the corresponding author. During the editing process, you will also be asked to share a high-resolution profile picture and a short biography.

Typescript 

Abbreviations and acronyms should be spelled out at the first mention. Pages should be numbered consecutively. Tables, figures and illustrations should be numbered and uploaded as additional files in addition to the in-text version.
