About the journal
"For more than twenty years, TCS has published some of the most innovative work in social science. It has been in the forefront of the renewal of cultural sociology." Craig Calhoun New York University, USA
Theory, Culture & Society is a highly ranked, high impact factor, rigorously peer reviewed journal that publishes original research and review articles in the social and cultural sciences.
Launched in 1982 to cater for the resurgence of interest in culture within contemporary social science, Theory, Culture & Society provides a forum for articles which theorize the relationship between culture and society.
Theory, Culture & Society is at the cutting edge of recent developments in social and cultural theory. The journal has helped to break down some of the disciplinary barriers between the humanities and the social sciences by opening up a wide range of new questions in cultural theory.
Theory, Culture & Society builds upon the heritage of the classic founders of social theory and examines the ways in which this tradition has been reshaped by a new generation of theorists.

Instructions to Authors
Submit your Article to Theory, Culture & Society

Manuscript Types and Refereeing Processes
TCS operates with a range of manuscript types. All manuscripts are considered for publication on the understanding that they are not under consideration elsewhere.
The main manuscript types are as follows:
Articles
1. Articles published in Theory, Culture & Society are refereed. The refereeing process is blind, so contributors should take care to remove any obvious indications of authorship.
2. While contributors can submit articles in any major language, the preferred manuscript is English. The language of publication is English.
3. Articles should generally contain between 6000 and 8000 words.
4. The refereeing process normally takes around 3-4 months.
5. TCS receives hundreds of manuscripts every year and only accepts around 10% of the papers submitted to the journal. In order for your manuscript to be considered, it is essential that it conform to the SAGE house style (see below under 'Preparation of Manuscripts').
Special Issue/Special Section Articles
The above also applies to all special issue and section articles. However, guest editors commission the majority of these. Special issue and section articles are blind refereed. Authors of special issue and special section pieces should carefully read the TCS Special Issue guidelines. These can found at SAGE's TCS website http://tcs.sagepub.com and at TCS manuscript central http:/mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tcs.
Notes & Commentary Pieces
Shorter commentaries of 2000 to 5000 words are also invited. Normally these are not blind refereed, but commented on by editorial board members and associate editors.
Interviews
We welcome the submission of interviews with prominent figures in the social sciences and humanities. Normally these should be between 3000 and 8000 words. Normally these are not blind refereed, but commented on by editorial board members and associate editors.
Review Articles
Normally these are 3-5000 words long.
Review articles can be of a single important book, or a series of books on a particular topic, or a more sweeping 'decade review' of a particular field or emergent area.
Please note that TCS does not accept unsolicited review articles.
Book Reviews
The normal length for reviews is 2000 words.
In all cases, review articles and book reviews must conform to the TCS house style (which is detailed below).
The review editors regularly commission book reviews. At the same time we are always interested in extending our panel of reviewers. Should you wish to review for TCS you should write to the review editors with your biographical details and interests along with information on the proposed book. We are also interested in reviews of books published outside the English-speaking world.
Please note that TCS does not accept unsolicited book reviews.
Special Issue/Special Section Proposals
Theory, Culture & Society regularly produces special issues and sections. We welcome proposals from prospective guest editors. Authors submitting special issue and special section proposals should carefully read and follow the TCS guidelines for special issues and sections. These can found at the TCS website (insert address) and at TCS manuscript central (http:/mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tcs).

Refereeing for TCS

TCS manuscript central http:/mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tcs asks authors to submit papers with 3-7 keywords that we use to identify prospective referees from our referees' database. If you are interested in becoming a referee please take a look at the keywords list and e-mail some keywords to us which best reflect your interests along with a short CV and details of your current work.
We also welcome suggestions of people we could approach to be referees or contribute manuscripts to TCS.
Preparation of Manuscripts
1. Authors should submit their manuscript, along with an abstract of 250 words.
2. Authors should also provide 3-7 keywords. The keywords must be selected from the keyword list available on the TCS Manuscript Central website and need to be keyed in separately in the appropriate field when the article is uploaded. The keywords are essential in helping editors select referees from our referees' database. If you have difficulty matching keywords, or have suggestions on ones to be added, please let us know.
3. To protect anonymity, please make sure that you do not include your name anywhere within the main document (e.g. as a running head or at the end).
4. The article should begin with a separate cover page bearing only the title.
5. The number and length of notes should be strictly limited. They should be numbered serially and included at the end of the text prior to the references section.
6. Please make sure you insert page numbers into your manuscript.
