Word & Image concerns itself with the study of the encounters, dialogues and mutual collaboration (or hostility) between verbal and visual languages, one of the prime new areas of humanistic criticism. Word & Image provides a forum for articles that focus exclusively on this special study of the relations between words and images. Themed issues, guest-edited by internationally acknowledged scholars, are a regular feature of the journal. Recent examples include reading ancient and medieval art, the picture and the text, and artists in two media.
Readership
Literary critics, art historians and critics, linguisticians, cultural and social historians, philosophers and psychologists, members of academic departments of literature, art history, and media, communication, and cultural studies.

Submitting a paper to Word & Image
Please read these Guidelines with care and attention: failure to follow them may result in your paper being delayed.
Word & Image considers all manuscripts on condition they are the property (copyright) of the submitting author(s) and that copyright will be transferred to Word & Image and the publishers, Taylor & Francis Ltd if the paper is accepted.
Word & Image considers all manuscripts on the strict condition that they have been submitted only to Word & Image, 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Authors who fail to adhere to this condition will be charged all costs which Word & Image incurs, and their papers will not be published.
?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 e-mail addresses on the cover page of manuscripts.
?Bionotes should be contained on a separate sheet and be located at the beginning of a paper.
- 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 Word & Image. Clearly explain or avoid the use of terms that might be meaningful only to a local or national audience. However, note also that Word & Image 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:
1. Word & Image prefers US to 'American', USA to 'United States', and UK to 'United Kingdom'.
2 . Word & Image 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.
3. Single 'quotes' are used for quotations rather than double "quotes", unless the 'quote is "within" another quote'.
4. Punctuation should follow the British style, e.g. 'quotes precede punctuation'.
5. 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.
6. The em-dash should be clearly indicated in manuscripts by way of either a clear dash (-) or a triple hyphen (---) with a space either side, the en-dash should be indicated by a clear dash (-) or a double hyphen (--).
7. Word & Image 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.
8. 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.
9. 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).
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. n (not N), % (not per cent) should be used in typescripts.
13. 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).
14. 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.
Copyright permission
Contributors are required to secure permission for the reproduction of any figure, table, or extensive (more than fifty word) extract from the text, from a source which is copyrighted - or owned - by a party other than Taylor & Francis or the contributor.
This applies both to direct reproduction or 'derivative reproduction' - when the contributor has created a new figure or table which derives substantially from a copyrighted source.
The following form of words can be used in seeking permission:
Dear [COPYRIGHT HOLDER]
I/we are preparing for publication an article entitled
[STATE TITLE]
to be published by Taylor & Francis Ltd in Word & Image.
I/we should be grateful if you would grant us permission to include the following materials:
[STATE FIGURE NUMBER AND ORIGINAL SOURCE]
We are requesting non-exclusive rights in this edition and in all forms. It is understood, of course, that full acknowledgement will be given to the source.
Please note that Taylor & Francis are signatories of and respect the spirit of the STM Agreement regarding the free sharing and dissemination of scholarly information.
Your prompt consideration of this request would be greatly appreciated.
Yours faithfully
Notes on tables and figures
Artwork submitted for publication will be returned after publication. Whilst every care is taken of artwork, neither the Editor nor Taylor & Francis shall bear any responsibility or liability for non-return, loss, or damage of artwork, nor for any associated costs or compensation. You are strongly advised to insure appropriately
1. Tables and figures should be referred to in text as follows: figure 1, table 1, i.e. lower case. 'As seen in table [or figure] 1 ...' (not Tab., fig. or Fig).
2. The place at which a table or figure is to be inserted in the printed text should be indicated clearly on a manuscript:
Insert table 2 about here
3. Each table and/or figure must have a title that explains its purpose without reference to the text.
4. All figures and tables must be on separate sheets and not embedded in the text.
Thus tables and figures must be referred to in the text and numbered in order of appearance. Each table should have a descriptive title and each column an appropriate heading. For all figures, original copies of figures should be supplied. All figures should allow for reduction to column width (8.5cm) or page width (17 cm). Photographs may be sent as glossy prints or negatives. The legends to any illustrations must be typed separately following the text and should be grouped together.
Acknowledgements
Any acknowledgements authors wish to make should be included in a separate headed section at the end of the manuscript. Please do not incorporate these into the bionote or notes.
Citations in text
References should be cited using the numerical system (e.g. [3], [5-9]). They should be listed separately at the end of the paper in the order in which they appear in the text.
References
Word & Image allows authors to use whatever convention of bibliographical reference (with one exception) that they individually prefer. This is done in the interests of eventual submission to other journals, since it seems an unnecessary chore for authors to reformulate references because another publisher wants them differently. However, Word & Image does not like to utilize the format of final bibliography to which in-text references are made; all Contributors are alerted to our on-page format of side-notes, when their extent does not exceed the capacities of the margins of the main text.
Other points to note
1. References to multi-authored books and papers should be fully spelled out in the references, i.e. et al. should not be used. The '&' should not be used except for publishers' names.
2. References to chapters in edited books must include the page references for any chapter being cited. Such references should include the full page span (e.g. 212-252 , NOT 212-52). Note that a single editor is indicated by (ed.) - with a point/period - and multiple editors by (eds) - without a point/period.
