Papers accepted become the copyright of the Journal, unless otherwise specifically agreed.

Manuscripts, ideally between 5000 and 9000 words, should be sent to Professor David Gillborn, Educational Foundations & Policy Studies (EFPS) Editor, 'Race Ethnicity & Education', Institute of Education, University of London, 20 Bedford Way, London WC1H 0AL. Articles can only be considered if three complete copies of each manuscript are submitted. They should be typed on one side of the paper, double spaced, with ample margins, and bear the title of the contribution. A separate sheet should list the name(s) of the author(s), the title of the contribution and the address where the work was carried out. Each article should be accompanied by an abstract or summary of not more than 300 words on a separate sheet, and a short note of biographical details. The full postal address, telephone number, and email address of the author who will check proofs and receive correspondence and offprints should also be included. The inclusion of an electronic version of the paper (on floppy disk or CD) is advised but not required. All pages should be numbered. Footnotes to the text should be kept to a minimum.

Electronic-only submissions are considered under limited circumstances. For details, please contact the Editor at d.gillborn@ioe.ac.uk.

Contributors should bear in mind that they are addressing an international audience. Jargon should be avoided where possible and all authors should use non-discriminatory language. In empirical reports the breakdown of the research sample (e.g. class, race, ethnicity, sex, age and disability) should be clearly stated and acknowledged in the discussion. Authors should define their choice of terms clearly.
Rejected manuscripts will not normally be returned to contributors unless sufficient international postal coupons have been sent.

Tables, figures and captions to illustrations. Tables must be typed 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 should be numbered by Roman numerals, and figures 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.

Citations of other work should be limited to those strictly necessary for the argument. Any quotations should be brief, and 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 authors if there is sufficient time to do so. They should be corrected and returned to the Editor within three days. Major alterations to the text cannot be accepted.
