Manuscripts. Manuscripts should be double spaced. The first page should include the title of the contribution, the names and affiliations of all contributors, and the full addresses of all authors. The second page should include the title, but exclude the authors' names to assist the blind review process. All articles and papers should include an abstract of up to 100 words, and three to six keywords. The main text should be followed by acknowledgements, footnotes and references.

All pages should be numbered consecutively. For detailed guidance on layout and style, consult a recent issue of the Journal. Contributors who do not have easy access to the journal and would like to see recent issues are invited to contact the editors.

Authors of papers that have been accepted, or accepted with revisions, are invited to update their references. To assist this process, the publishers would be pleased to enable free electronic access to the most recent issues of selected Routledge journals, including the Journal of Geography in Higher Education.  Please contact Louise Glenn for details.

Submission. All submissions should be made online at Journal of Geography in Higher Education's Manuscript Central site. New users should first create an account. Once a user is logged onto the site submissions should be made via the Author Centre.

Authors should prepare and upload two versions of their manuscript. One should be a complete text, while in the second all document information identifying the author should be removed from files to allow them to be sent anonymously to referees. When uploading files authors will then be able to define the non-anonymous version as “File not for review”. 

References are cited in the text by giving the surname(s) of the author(s) followed by the date of publication, e.g. Jenkins (2001) or (Holloway & Valentine, 2001). The page numbers of all quotations should be included with the reference, e.g. (Hanson, 2000, p.16). Multiple references should be separated by semi-colons and arranged in chronological order, e.g. (Kong, 1997; Jones, 1999; Craig et al., 2003). If two or more works are cited for the same author in the same year, the years of publication should be distinguished by the letters a, b, c, etc., e.g. (Howitt, 2002a, 2002b). The details of all references should be listed in alphabetical surname order at the end of the contribution, in the following form:

Note that book and journal titles should not be abbreviated; all authors' names must be included in a reference; and the first letters of main words in book titles should be capitalised, but not words in journal articles. The author and title of works on the Internet should be referred to rather than the URL.

Footnotes and Appendices
Footnotes, which should be kept to a minimum, should be referred to in the text as superscript numbers outside the punctuation, e.g. 1., 2. All footnotes should be grouped together at the end of the contribution, immediately before the references, and must start with the appropriate identifying number. Appendices, if required, should be placed at the end of the contribution.

Tables should be presented in finished form with dimensions no larger than an A4 page (or equivalent). Tables should be numbered consecutively by Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3, etc.), and their approximate position should be indicated in the manuscript.

Illustrations, including maps, diagrams, charts, cartoons, screen captures, and (black and white) photographs, should all be referred to as Figures, and should be numbered in consecutive order using Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3, etc.). All relevant images must accompany submitted papers. Artwork must be of sufficient resolution and capable of reduction to fit the dimensions of the Journal page (170 mm by 250 mm) without sacrificing legibility. Captions for illustrations must be typed in numerical order, and presented on a separate page. Authors should include a separate page detailing the author of each submitted image. Any contributor experiencing difficulty in producing artwork, or who wishes to make use of photographs, should consult the Editors.

Papers not conforming to these guidelines will be returned by the Editors.

Proofs will be sent to the corresponding author by e-mail if there is sufficient time to do so. They should be corrected and returned to the Editors within three days of receipt. Major alterations of the text cannot be accepted.

Free article access: Corresponding authors will receive free online access to their article through our website (www.informaworld.com) and a complimentary copy of the issue containing their article. Reprints of articles published in this journal can be purchased through Rightslink® when proofs are received. If you have any queries, please contact our reprints department at reprints@tandf.co.uk
