The Editorial Board invites contributions, normally of around 7000 words, dealing with international or analytically comparative aspects of education, highlighting such themes as: educational reform and practical problems of implementation; implications of demographic change and the distribution of resources; structural and geographical shifts in employment and professional expectations; the changing 'mix' of 'general' and vocational/professional' education; occupational mobility and regional or international co-operation; post-compulsory and 'young adult' education; part-time, recurrent or alternating education/training; new structures and operational patterns in higher education; the management and supply of educational opportunity, and its location or periodicity; the media and new communications or technologies in education; curricular content, and the learner's experience; teacher preparation and reorientation; education for the disadvantaged, or in neglected fields of competence; ideological and religious interventions; new trends and partnerships in comparative research. Suggestions of themes for articles or special issues will be welcomed.

Manuscripts should be sent or emailed to Brigid Walker, Co-ordinating Editor, Graduate School of Education, University of Bristol, 35 Berkeley Square, Bristol BS8 1JA, UK; Brigid.Walker@bristol.ac.uk Articles can be considered only if four complete copies of your manuscript and a disk are submitted unless other arrangements have been made with the editorial office. They should be typed on one side of the paper, double spaced, with ample margins and bear the title of the contribution, name(s) of the author(s) and the address where the work was carried out. Each article should be accompanied by a summary of 100-150 words on a separate sheet, and a short note of biographical details for the 'Notes on Contributors' page. The full postal address of the author who will check proofs and receive correspondence and offprints should also be included. All pages should be numbered.

Footnotes to the text should be avoided wherever this is reasonably possible.

Electronic Submission. Authors should send the final, revised version of their articles in both hard copy paper and electronic disk forms. It is essential that the hard copy (paper) version exactly matches the material on disk. Please print out the hard copy from the disk you are sending. Submit three printed copies of the final version with the disk to the journal's editorial office. Save all files on a standard 3.5 inch high-density disk. We prefer to receive disks in Microsoft Word in a PC format, but can translate from most other common word processing programs as well as Macs. Please specify which program you have used. Do not save your files as "text only" or "read only".

Rejected manuscripts will not normally be returned to contributors unless sufficient international postal coupons have been sent.

Tables and captions to illustrations. Tables must be typed out on separate sheets and not included as part of the text. The captions to illustrations should be gathered together and also typed out on a separate sheet. Tables and figures should be numbered by Arabic numerals. The approximate position of tables and figures should be indicated in the manuscript. Captions should include keys to symbols.

Figures. Please supply one set of artwork in a finished form, suitable for reproduction. Figures will not normally be redrawn by the publisher.
