Citizenship Studies accepts original articles which are not under consideration by another publication at the time of submission. Articles should not exceed 8000 words in length, should be free from jargon and should be written as clearly and concisely as possible. Unsolicited articles cannot be returned. Accepted articles must conform to Citizenship Studies style requirements.

Submissions: All submissions should be made online at the Citizenship Studies Manuscript Central site. New users should first create an account. Once a user is logged onto the site submissions should be made via the Author Centre.

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”. 

Presentation: Manuscripts should be double-spaced throughout (including all quotations, endnotes and references) and typed in English. Generous margins on both sides of the page should be allowed and pages numbered consecutively. The author should retain a copy as submitted manuscripts cannot be returned. Full names of the author(s) should be given, an address for correspondence, and where possible a contact telephone number, facsimile number and email address.

Endnotes: Notes should be marked clearly in the text at the point of punctuation by superior numbers, and listed consecutively at the end of the article. They should not be as footnotes to manuscripts pages.

Tables and figures: should be prepared on separate sheets using originals where possible; they should not be included within the text. The author(s) should indicate clearly in the margin of the paper where tables and figures are to be inserted. Each table and figure should be numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals with an appropriate caption (e.g. Table 1, Table 2; Figure 1, Figure 2, and so on). Permission to reproduce copyright material must be obtained by the author(s) prior to submission and any acknowledgements should be included either in the text or the caption as appropriate. A camera ready copy of any tables and figures should be submitted in addition to those attached to the manuscripts.

Proofs: Authors are expected to correct and return proofs of accepted articles within 48 hours of receipt.

Free article access: Corresponding authors will receive free online access to their article through our website (www.informaworld.com) and a complimentary copy of the issue containing their article. Reprints of articles published in this journal can be purchased through Rightslink® when proofs are received. If you have any queries, please contact our reprints department at reprints@tandf.co.uk

Copyright: It is a condition of publication that authors assign copyright or licence the publication rights in their articles, including abstracts, to Taylor & Francis. This enables us to ensure full copyright protection and to disseminate the article, and of course the Journal, to the widest possible readership in print and electronic formats as appropriate. Authors retain many rights under the Taylor & Francis rights policies, which can be found at www.informaworld.com/authors_journals_copyright_position. Authors are themselves responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce copyright material from other sources.
