Tables, illustrations and figures Authors must obtain permission to reproduce illustrations when necessary, and pay the relevant copyright fees and other costs. Such or any other kind of illustration, as well as Tables and Figures, should be submitted on separate sheets and not included in the text of the article. Figures will not be redrawn by the publisher. Accordingly, they should be submitted in a form that is suitable for publication. The place at which a table, figure or illustration is to be inserted in the printed text should be indicated clearly on the manuscript. Captions should include keys to symbols.

As an author, you are required to secure permission if you want to reproduce any figure, table, or extract from the text of another source. This applies to direct reproduction as well as "derivative reproduction" (where you have created a new figure or table which derives substantially from a copyrighted source). For further information and FAQs, please see http://journalauthors.tandf.co.uk/preparation/permission.asp

Style Write clearly and concisely, using arguments that are fully substantiated with well-reasoned analysis and, where appropriate, empirical evidence. All acronyms for national agencies, examinations, etc. should be spelled out the first time they are mentioned. Contributors are asked to take account of the international readership of the Journal of Peace Education by explaining in full the use of terms that might be meaningful only to a particular local or national audience. For all manuscripts, non-discriminatory language is mandatory.

Citations of other work should be limited to those strictly necessary for the argument. Any quotations should be brief, and always accompanied by precise references.

We strongly encourage you to send the final, revised version of your article, electronically, by email. More help and guidelines on submitting articles already accepted for publication. Please note that this information applies only to authors whose articles have been reviewed, revised, and accepted for publication.

Proofs will be sent to the authors for correction, and should be returned to the publisher within three days of receipt. Major alterations to the text at this stage will not be accepted.

Free article access: Corresponding authors will receive free online access to their article through our website and a complimentary copy of the issue containing their article.
