Listen to John Evans, Editor of Sport, Education and Society discuss what the editorial board look for when considering submissions.

***Note to Authors: please make sure your contact address information is clearly visible on the outside of all packages you are sending to Editors.***

Articles, ideally between 5,000 and 7,000 should be sent electronically to John Evans at John.Evans@lboro.ac.uk Submissions must be in Microsoft word. Where this is not possible, three identical copies of the paper, together with any illustrations, should be submitted to John Evans, School of Sport and Exercise Sciences, Loughborough, LE11 3TU.

Books for review should be sent to:
Dawn Penney, Faculty of Education, University of Tasmania, Locked Bag 1330, Launceston, Tasmania, 7250, Australia; dawn.penney@utas.edu.au

Articles should be typed on one side of the paper, double spaced, with ample margins, and bear the title of the contribution. An abstract of 100-500 words and up to 10 key words should be included as part of the text, and not be sent as a separate file. In order to guarantee blind review the name(s) of the author(s) and the address where the work was carried out should only appear on a cover sheet, which should be submitted as a separate document in electronic submissions. The full postal address of the author who will check proofs and receive correspondence and offprints should also be included in the separate document. All pages should be numbered. Footnotes to the text should be avoided.

Papers accepted become the copyright of the journal, unless otherwise specifically agreed. Rejected manuscripts will not be returned unless sufficient stamps/international postal coupons have been sent.

References should be indicated in the typescript by giving the author's name, with the year of publication in parentheses.
