Instructions for Authors
Manuscripts, ideally between 5000 and 8000 words, should be made online at the Research in Dance Education 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.
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.
Viewpoints is a section in which contributors can share opinion, comment critically on published papers, frame and explore topical issues, contribute short notes, questions, letters, or comments in response to material already printed in the journal. Brief notes of 500 words to considered pieces of up to 1,500 are invited. Contributions should be sent to the Editor.
Books for Review should also be submitted online at the Research in Dance Education Manuscript Central site (link tohttp://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/crid).
Perspectives. This section aims to publish significant work, which may no longer be available in print, to a wider readership. Published some years ago, articles are either of historical interest per se, or the issues addressed are so fundamental they remain relevant today, even though the context of education and dance education may have changed. Judith Chapman is editing the Perspectives section and she would welcome suggestions of specific articles that you would like to see reproduced in future volumes of the journal. Recommendations should be accompanied by a photocopy of the article (with full reference) and a brief statement explaining why it is proposed for reprinting. Articles for the Perspectives section should be submitted online at the Research in Dance Education Manuscript Central site.
Tables, figures and captions to illustrations. We welcome figures sent electronically, but care and attention to these guidelines are essential as importing graphics packages can often be problematic.
§ Figures must be saved individually and separate to text. Please do not embed figures in the paper file.
§ Avoid the use of colour and tints for purely aesthetic reasons.
§ Figures should be produced as near to the finished size as possible.
§ All figures must be numbered in the order in which they appear in the paper (e.g. figure 1, figure 2). In multi-part figures, each part should be labelled (e.g. figure 1(a), figure 1(b)).
§ Figure captions must be saved separately, as part of the file containing the complete text of the paper, and numbered correspondingly.
§ The filename for the graphic should be descriptive of the graphic, e.g. Figure1, Figure2a.
§ Files should be saved as one of the following formats: TIFF (tagged image file format), PostScript or EPS (encapsulated PostScript), and should contain all the necessary font information and the source file of the application (e.g. CorelDraw/Mac, CorelDraw/PC).
Please note that it is in the author's interest to provide the highest quality figure format possible. Please do not hesitate to contact our Production Department if you have any queries.
