Instructions for Authors

Instructions for Authors:

Authors should submit an electronic copy of the abstract and the article with to ctc@nottingham.ac.uk, retaining one copy for their own records. Essays should be in English, double-spaced (including all quoted material, notes and references) on one side only of the paper. Authors should confirm at submission that their essay is not also under consideration with another journal or publisher.

Submissions will be subjected to blind review before acceptance.

Form. Essays should not normally exceed 7000 words, including quotations and footnotes, and the word count should be printed at the end. In general, the editors prefer articles to be divided into clearly identified sections with subheadings or numbers; only one level of subheading should be used. Submissions should include on separate sheets an abstract of 150 words and a brief paragraph about the author(s). Authors should provide full postal and e-mail addresses as well as telephone and fax numbers.

Review Essays. Authors who wish to submit review essays are responsible for obtaining the books to be discussed. Such essays may be accepted for both open and themed issues.  They should comply with the form of articles specified above.  Review essays are refereed in the same way as other articles.

Illustrations. Authors must obtain permission to reproduce illustrations when necessary and pay the copyright fees and other costs.

The place at which an illustration is to be inserted in the printed text should be indicated clearly on the manuscript with a figure number and caption.

Insert figure 2 about here (add caption)

A separate numbered caption sheet should contain artists name, title, print, process, date and owner.

Illustrations should be on a separate sheet and not included in the text.

Notes and References. Footnotes should be kept to a minimum and placed appropriately within the body of the essay. The reference system used by the journal places in the text the name of the author, date of publication and, in the case of quoted material, the page reference, as a key to the full bibliographic details set out in the Works Cited list. The form of such references is as follows: (Smith 1993: 220-34) or (Machiavelli 1965: III, 94-108). Where any essay focuses on a single text, page references should appear without author and date. Similarly, in an extended passage devoted to a single text, page references should appear without author and date unless such an omission would create uncertainty.

The Works Cited list should include every work referenced in the text and should be consistent in spelling, dates and pagination with the references. Where two or more works by the same author appear in the same year they should be distinguished as follows: 1995a, 1995b etc. The items in the Works Cited list should conform with the following examples:

Copyright. It is a condition of publication that authors assign copyright or license 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.

Books for Review. Culture, Theory and Critique will consider book review essays for publication but will not publish standard book reviews.
