Papers should not exceed 6,000 words including notes and references. An electronic version of the paper, along with one hardcopy version, should be sent to Ursula McKenna, Warwick Religions and Education Research Unit, Institute of Education, University of Warwick, Coventry CV4 7AL, UK. An electronic version should be emailed to u.mckenna@warwick.ac.uk.
Papers should be typed on one side of A4 (or equivalent) sized paper, double-spaced, with ample margins, and bear the title of the contribution. In order to guarantee anonymous peer review the name(s) of the author(s) and the address where the work was carried out should only appear on a separate first page. Each article should be accompanied by an abstract/summary of 100-500 words and 3-4 keywords, also on a separate sheet. The full postal address of the author who will check proofs and receive correspondence and offprints should also be included. All pages should be numbered. Endnotes to the text should be avoided as far as possible. Authors should send the final, revised version of their articles in both hard copy paper and electronic forms. It is essential that the hard copy (paper) version exactly matches the material sent either on disk or by email attachment. Please print out the hard copy from the disk or file you are sending. Submit three printed copies of the final version with the disk/email attachment to the journal's editorial office. Save all files on a standard 3.5 inch high-density disk. We prefer to receive disks in Microsoft Word in a PC format. Please specify which program you have used. Do not save your files as "text only" or "read only." If sending by email attachment then please save as Microsoft Word.

Please ensure that writing is free from bias, for instance by replacing 'he' or 'his' by 'he or she' or 's/he' or 'his/her', and by using non-racist language.
