Author Guidelines

Articles should use the Author-Date system of citation, and include a full Bibliography. Where an item is available electronically (not in a closed database) please supply the URL link. Please use the citation style of the International Review of Sociology, which can be accessed on http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/authors/style/reference/tf_X.pdf. This style is available in the Endnote bibliography software. We do not prescribe particular spelling conventions, but ask you to choose one you consider appropriate and follow it consistently.

Please note that you are responsible for copy-editing your article, before submission or after acceptance and final submission. Reviewers may suggest stylistic changes or point out mistakes, but we do not copy-edit articles. Please therefore check it carefully for spelling and grammar, as well as clarity of expression. If we consider that there is an unacceptable level of mistakes, we will return the article to you.

If approved for publication, your paper will be formatted electronically as a Portable Document Format (PDF) file, using the standard layout for papers in the Series. If you prefer to retain your own format for a specific reason, please contact us. Papers should be submitted as OpenOffice or Microsoft Word (.doc or .rtf) files. Please use Verdana 10-point font, 1.5 line spaced, with italic rather than underlining (except for URLs).

Submission Preparation Checklist

2. The submission file is in Open Office or Microsoft Word (.doc or .rtf) document file format.

4. The text employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
5. The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines, which is found in About the Journal.
6. If submitting to a peer-reviewed section of the journal, the instructions in Ensuring a Blind Review have been followed.

7. Once approved, the paper will be included in Social Science Research Network (SSRN), in Dialnet and DOAJ
