This journal uses ScholarOne Manuscripts (previously Manuscript Central) to peer review manuscript submissions. Please read the guide for ScholarOne authors before making a submission. Complete guidelines for preparing and submitting your manuscript to this journal are provided below.

All submissions should be made online at the Curriculum Journal ScholarOne Manuscripts site. New users should first create an account. Once a user is logged onto the site submissions should be made via the Author Centre. Online user guides and access to a helpdesk are available on this website.

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”. 

1. The submission should include a cover page showing the author's name, the department where the work was done, an address for correspondence, if different, telephone numbers, email addresses and any acknowledgements.
2. Submissions should be in English, typed in double spacing with wide margins, preferably of A4 size. The title, but not the author's name, should appear on the first page of the manuscript.
3. Articles should normally be less than 6,000 words long, and should be preceded by an abstract of not more than 150-200 words and a list of 4 to 10 key words for on-line searching purposes.
4. Tables and figures should not be inserted in the pages of the manuscript file but should be uploaded in separate files. They should be numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals with a descriptive caption. The desired position in the text for each table and figure should be indicated in the manuscript.
   Direct quotations of 40 words or more will be printed as prose extracts; page reference numbers will be required.
5. Notes should be used only where necessary to avoid interrupting the continuity of the text. They should be numbered consecutively using superscript Arabic numerals. They should appear at the end of the main text, immediately before the list of references.
6. For any other matters of presentation not covered by the above notes, please refer to the usual custom and practice as indicated by the last few issues of the Journal .
7. On acceptance for publication, authors will be requested to provide a copy of their paper in exact accordance with the conventions listed in the preceding notes. If the final version of the paper is not submitted in accordance with these conventions then publication may be delayed by the need to return manuscripts to authors for necessary revisions. Authors will also be required to complete a Publishing Agreement form assigning copyrights to the Publisher.
8. Free article access : Corresponding authors can receive 50 free reprints, free online access to their article through our website and a complimentary copy of the issue containing their article. Complimentary reprints are available through Rightslink® and additional reprints can be ordered through Rightslink® when proofs are received. If you have any queries, please contact our reprints department at reprints@tandf.co.uk
9. 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.
10. Page proofs will be sent for correction to a first-named author, unless otherwise requested. The difficulty and expense involved in making amendments at the page proof stage make it essential for authors to prepare their typescript carefully: any alteration to the original text is strongly discouraged. Our aim is rapid publication; this will be helped if authors provide good copy, following the above instructions, and return their page proofs to the editor on the date requested.
