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 submitted electronically. Please print out the hard copy from the electronic version you are sending. We prefer to receive articles in Microsoft Word in a PC format, but can translate from most other common word-processing programs. Please specify which program you have used. Do not save your files as ‘text-only' or ‘read-only'. For further details on Electronic Submission, please visit the Taylor & Francis website at: http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals

Along with the electronic copy, submit two printed copies of the article, typed on one side of the paper, double spaced, with ample margins, and bearing the title of the contribution and the name(s) of the author(s). The length of articles can range between 7000 and 15,000 words. In exceptional cases longer papers will, however, be considered. The full postal and email addresses of the author who will check proofs and receive correspondence and reprints should also be included. All pages should be numbered.

An abstract of 100-150 words should also be included along with up to five keywords. Notes to the text should be at the foot of the page. The author(s) should also supply a short biographical note.

Reprints: Corresponding authors can receive 50 free reprints, free online access to their article through our website (www.informaworld.com) 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. Please note that reprints are not sent out automatically.  If you have any queries, please contact our reprints department at reprints@tandf.co.uk
