Submitting a paper to Studies in the History of Gardens & Designed Landscapes
Please read these Guidelines with care and attention: failure to follow them may result in your paper being delayed.
Studies in the History of Gardens & Designed Landscapesconsiders all manuscripts on condition they are the property (copyright) of the submitting author(s) and that copyright will be transferred to Studies in the History of Gardens & Designed Landscapes and to Taylor & Francis, the publishers if the paper is accepted.
Studies in the History of Gardens & Designed Landscapes considers all manuscripts on the strict condition that they have been submitted only to Studies in the History of Gardens & Designed Landscapes, that they have not been published already, nor are they under consideration for publication, nor in press elsewhere. Authors who fail to adhere to this condition will be charged all costs which Studies in the History of Gardens & Designed Landscapes incurs, and their papers will not be published. Decisions are made within two months of receiving manuscripts.
- Please write clearly and concisely, stating your objectives clearly and defining your terms. Your arguments should be substantiated with well reasoned supporting evidence.
- Manuscripts should be printed on one single side of A4 or 8 x 11 inch white good quality paper, double-spaced throughout, including the reference section.
- Two copies of the manuscript must be submitted. Authors should include telephone and fax numbers as well as email addresses on the cover page of manuscripts. Authors should post their manuscripts and then send an identical Word document to the Editor as an email attachment.
In writing your paper, you are encouraged to review articles in the area you are addressing which have been previously published in the journal, and where you feel appropriate, to reference them. This will enhance context, coherence, and continuity for our readers. Accepted manuscripts in their final, revised versions, should also be submitted as electronic word processing files on disk; see Electronic Processing.
Notes on style
All authors are asked to take account of the diverse audience of Studies in the History of Gardens & Designed Landscapes. Clearly explain or avoid the use of terms that might be meaningful only to a local or national audience. However, note also that Studies in the History of Gardens & Designed Landscapes does not aspire to be international in the ways that McDonald's restaurants or Hilton Hotels are 'international'; we much prefer papers that, where appropriate, reflect the particularities of each higher education system.
Some specific points of style for the text of articles, research reports, case studies, reports, essay reviews, and reviews follow:
- Studies in the History of Gardens & Designed Landscapes prefers US to 'American', USA to 'United States', and UK to 'United Kingdom'.
- Studies in the History of Gardens & Designed Landscapes uses conservative British, and US spelling, i.e. colour and color; behaviour (behavioural) and behavior; [school] programme and program; [he] practises and practices; centre and center; organization and organisation; analyse and analyze, etc.
- Single 'quotations' are used for quotations rather than double "quotations", unless the 'quote is "within" another quote".
- Punctuation should follow the British style, e.g. 'quotations precede punctuation'.
- Punctuation of common abbreviations should follow the following conventions: e.g. i.e. cf. Note that such abbreviations are not followed by a comma or a (double) point/period.
- Dashes (M-dash) should be clearly indicated in manuscripts by way of either a clear dash (-) or a triple hyphen (---) with a space either side, (N-dash) should be indicated either by a clear dash (-) or a double hyphen (--).
- Studies in the History of Gardens & Designed Landscapes is sparing in its use of the upper case in headings and references, e.g. only the first word in paper titles is in upper case; titles of papers from journals in the references and other places are not in upper case.
- Apostrophes should be used sparingly. Thus, decades should be referred to as follows: 'The 1980s [not the 1980's] saw ...'. Possessives associated with acronyms (e.g. APU), should be written as follows: 'The APU's findings that ...', but, NB, the plural is APUs.
- All acronyms for national agencies, examinations, etc., should be spelled out the first time they are introduced in text or references. Thereafter the acronym can be used if appropriate, e.g. 'The work of the Assessment of Performance Unit (APU) in the early 1980s ...'. Subsequently, 'The APU studies of achievement ...', in a reference ... (Department of Education and Science [DES] 1989a).
- Brief biographical details of significant national figures should be outlined in the text unless it is quite clear that the person concerned would be known internationally. Some suggested editorial emendations to a typical text are indicated in the following with square brackets: 'From the time of H. E. Armstrong [in the 19th century] to the curriculum development work associated with the Nuffield Foundation [in the 1960s], there has been a shift from heurism to constructivism in the design of [British] science courses'.
- The preferred local (national) usage for ethnic and other minorities should be used in all papers. For the USA, African-American, Hispanic, and Native American are used, e.g. 'The African American presidential candidate, Jesse Jackson...' For the UK, African-Caribbean (not 'West Indian'), etc.
- n (not N), % (not per cent) should be used in typescripts.
- Numbers in text should take the following forms: 300, 3000, 30 000. Spell out numbers under 10 unless used with a unit of measure, e.g. nine pupils but 9 mm (do not introduce periods with measure). For decimals, use the form 0.05 (not .05).
- When using a word which is or is asserted to be a proprietary term or trade mark authors' must use the symbol ?or TM or alternatively a footnote can be inserted using the wording below:
This article includes a word which is or is asserted to be a proprietary term or trade mark. Its inclusion does not imply it has acquired for legal purposes a non-proprietary or general significance, nor is any other judgement implied concerning its legal status.
