Submitting a manuscript to Word & Image
Please read these Guidelines with care and attention: failure to follow them may result in your paper being delayed.  For information on a full range of issues relating to the preparation and publication of articles, see our Author Services website: http://journalauthors.tandf.co.uk/index.asp

Word & Image considers all manuscripts on the condition that they are the property (copyright) of the submitting author(s) and that copyright will be transferred to Word & Image and the publishers, Taylor & Francis Ltd, if the paper is accepted. Manuscripts must have been submitted only to Word & Image, must not have been published already, and must not be under consideration for publication or in press elsewhere. Authors who fail to adhere to these conditions will be charged all costs which Word & Image incurs, and their papers will not be published.

Copies of permission letters should be sent with the manuscript upon submission to the editors. Copyright permission letter template

Illustrations
Authors are responsible for procuring high-quality images, at their own expense, for  illustrations.  These should be submitted as scans of at least 300 dpi.  Colour reproduction is sometimes available: please discuss this with the editors in advance.

Manuscript preparation
• Manuscripts should be printed on one single side of A4 or 8 1/2 x 11 inch paper, double-spaced throughout, including notes.
• Two copies of the manuscript must be submitted, one to each Editor, at the above addresses, and a digital version sent to ddimassa@sas.upenn.edu.
• Authors should include full contact information, including postal address, telephone numbers  and e-mail address on the cover page of manuscripts.
• Manuscripts should be accompanied by a 200-250 word abstract and three or four keywords.
• A short biographical note should be included on a separate sheet at the beginning of  the manuscript.  In the event that the article is published, this will be printed in the ‘Notes on contributors.'  This should include only information such as current position, main publications, and information pertinent to the article such as its relation to a larger project.
• In writing their text, authors are encouraged to review articles in the area they are addressing which have been previously published in the journal and, where appropriate, to reference them. This will enhance context, coherence, and continuity for our readers.
• Accepted manuscripts in their final, revised versions, should also be submitted as electronic word processing files; see Electronic Processing.

To enquire about accepted and published papers only, please contact Taylor & Francis at authorqueries@tandf.co.uk

Style
Word & Image follows the Chicago Manual of Style, with some variations (see below). Manuscripts should be prepared accordingly.  The Manual can be consulted at http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/16/contents.html

Some specific points of style:
1. Word & Image uses standard British and US spelling, i.e. colour and color; behaviour and behavior, etc. 
2. Punctuation may follow either British or American style, but must be consistent.  See http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/16/ch13/ch13_toc.html
3. Punctuation of common abbreviations should follow the following conventions:
e.g. , i.e. , cf.
Note that such abbreviations are not followed by a comma or a (double) period/full stop.
4.  Chicago Manual headline style should be used for titles of books and articles in English: e.g. The Return of the Native.   Titles in other languages should follow the Chicago Manual and the standard conventions of those languages.
5.  Notes should be kept to a minimum and should be as brief as possible.  They should not be used to carry out long discussions with other authors; substantive points should be made in the text.
6. Contractions and other familiar forms should be avoided: use cannot rather than can't.  Split infinitives should also be avoided.
7. Apostrophes should be used sparingly. Thus: ‘The 1980s [not the 1980's] saw ...'
8. The em-dash should be clearly indicated in manuscripts by way of either a clear dash (-) or a triple hyphen (---) with a space either side. The en-dash should be indicated by a clear dash (-) or a double hyphen (--).
9. Acronyms for national agencies, examinations, etc., should be spelled out the first time they are introduced in the text or references. Thereafter the acronym can be used if appropriate, e.g. ‘The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH)'. Subsequently, ‘The NEH…'.
10. Brief biographical details of significant national figures should be outlined in the text unless it is quite clear that the person concerned would be known internationally.
11. When using a word which is or is asserted to be a proprietary term or trade mark, authors must use the symbol ® or TM, or alternatively a footnote can be inserted using the following wording: ‘This article includes a word which is or is asserted to be a proprietary term or trade mark. Its inclusion does not imply it has acquired for legal purposes a non-proprietary or general significance, nor is any other judgement implied concerning its legal status.'

For reference style, see Reference style below.

Figures and tables
Artwork submitted for publication will be returned after publication. Whilst every care is taken of artwork, neither the Editors nor Taylor & Francis shall bear any responsibility or liability for non-return, loss, or damage of artwork, nor for any associated costs or compensation. Authors are strongly advised to insure appropriately.

1. Figures and tables should be referred to in text as follows: figure 1, table 1.
2. The place at which a figure or table is to be inserted in the printed text should be indicated clearly on a manuscript:
Insert table 2 about here
3. Each table and/or figure must have a title that explains its purpose without reference to the text.
4. All figures and tables must be on a separate sheets and not embedded in the text.
5.  Tables and figures must be referred to in the text and numbered in order of appearance. Each table should have a descriptive title and each column an appropriate heading. All figures should allow for reduction to column width (8.5 cm) or page width (17 cm).
6. The legends to any illustrations must be typed separately following the text and should be grouped together.  They should provide full information given in the following format:
Author, title of work, date.  Medium.  Dimensions (length x width).  Location.  (Photo credit).
 They should not be used for explanatory material, which should be placed in the text or in the notes.

Examples:
Eugène Delacroix, Dante and Virgil in Hell, 1822.  Oil on canvas.  1.89 x 2.41 m.  Paris, Musée du Louvre.  (Photo RMN).
Workshop of Pantanazzi, Basin with Ajax and Ulysses Contending for the Arms of Achilles, c. 1600.  Tin-glazed earthenware, painted.  45.7 cm.  London, Wallace Collection.

Acknowledgements
Acknowledgements should be included in a separate headed section at the end of the manuscript. Please do not incorporate these into the notes or the biographical note.

Reference style
References should be cited using Arabic numerals (e.g. [3], [5-9]). They should be listed separately at the end of the manuscript in the order in which they appear in the text.

Word & Image follows the first of the Chicago Manual systems of referencing, i.e. references provided in notes rather than author and date in the text.  See http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/16/ch14/ch14_toc.html.  Contributors are alerted to our on-page format of side-notes, when their extent does not exceed the capacities of the margins of the main text.  Otherwise, notes appear at the end.  All references should be provided in notes; a Works Cited section is not included.

Authors are asked to take special care to provide full information in referencing and to be consistent in format and style.  Notes should include author, title, number of volumes, place of publication, publisher, date of publication, full page-range for articles or chapters in books, volume number and page number. Titles to be abbreviated in the text should be indicated as such in the first (full) reference to the work.

References to multi-authored books and papers should be fully spelled out in the references, i.e. et al. should not be used. The ‘&' should not be used except for publishers' names.

Exceptions are made for certain Governments' employees whose policies require that copyright cannot be transferred to other parties. We ask that a signed statement to this effect is submitted when returning proofs for accepted papers.
