Advice and instructions to contributors:

Critique - Journal of Socialist Theory welcomes contributions covering any aspect of Marxist political economy, philosophy and history. Contributors are encouraged to write in a readable and attractive way. We do not expect complexities to be simplified or categories and concepts to be explained but a well written article will have a much greater effect than one whose English leaves much to be desired.

Authors should submit complete copies of their paper by email to the editor, Hillel Ticktin, to gkfa02@udcf.gla.ac.uk and to the editorial collective at critique@eng.gla.ac.uk. It will be assumed that the authors will keep a copy of their paper. They may send the article by post to the Editor, if they so prefer, but in any case they must supply the electronic version for printing purposes. In cases where this is impossible they should write or phone Hillel Ticktin, Ampherlaw House, Carnwath ML11 8LH, Scotland, UK, Tel: +44-1555-840242.

Book Reviews and Review Articles: Book reviews should normally be between 750-1,000 words. Review articles should normally be between 3,000-5,000 words. Books reviews will be expected within 3 months. Authors are expected to adhere to the Critique Reference and Style Guide. If you are interested in doing a book review or a review article, please contact Dr. Peter Kennedy: P.K.Kennedy@gcal.ac.uk

Submission of an article will be taken to imply that it presents original, unpublished work not under consideration for publication elsewhere. By submitting a manuscript, the authors agree that the exclusive rights to reproduce and distribute the article have been given to the Publishers.

Permission to quote from or reproduce copyright material must be obtained by the authors before submission and acknowledgements should be included in the typescript, preferably in the form of an Acknowledgements section at the end of the paper, before the Notes, if there are any. Where photographs or figures are reproduced, acknowledgement of source and copyright should be given in the caption.

An abstract of the paper, of up to 300 words, should accompany the article. In addition, a list of up to 6 key words, suitable for indexing, abstracting services and on-line searching purposes should be supplied.

Articles should not normally exceed 7-8,000 words in length. If your word-processor is capable of doing a word count please use it to print this at the end of the text, together with the date of the manuscript.

Critique style assumes footnotes are at the bottom of the page, numbered sequentially through the article. For more details on style, please view the Reference and Style Guide.

A brief biographical note about each author should be supplied on a separate sheet. Details should be given of author's full postal and e-mail addresses as well as telephone and fax numbers.

Authors are requested to send their electronic version in Microsoft Word format for the PC. If this is difficult or impossible please make contact with us. It is important that authors ensure that their typescript is an exact printout of what is on the disk.

Illustrations

Tables, figures and plates should not be inserted within the pages of the manuscript but should be submitted on separate sheets attached to the article.

• Tables should be prepared with the minimum use of horizontal rules (usually three are sufficient) and avoiding vertical rules.
• It is important to provide clear copy of figures (not photocopies or faxes) which can be reproduced by the printer and do not require redrawing.
• Photographs should be high-contrast black and white glossy prints.

The desired position for each table, figure and plate should be indicated in the manuscript.
