About the journal
Aims & Scope
A fully peer-reviewed international journal of folklore and folkloristics.
- Folklore is one of the earliest English-language journals in the field of folkloristics, first published as The Folk-Lore Record in 1878.
- Folklore publishes ethnographical and analytical essays on vernacular culture worldwide, specialising in traditional language, narrative, music, song, dance, drama, foodways, medicine, arts and crafts, and popular religion and belief. It reviews current scholarship in a wide range of adjacent disciplines including cultural studies, popular culture, cultural anthropology, ethnology and social history.
- Folklore prides itself on its special mix of ethnography, analysis and debate, formal and informal articles, reviews, review essays and bibliographies. It encompasses both North American and European approaches to the study of folklore and covers not only the materials and processes of folklore, but also the history, methods and theory of folkloristics.
- Folklore aims to be lively, informative and accessible, whilst maintaining high standards of scholarship.

Instructions to Authors
Instructions for Authors:
***Note to Authors: please make sure your contact address information is clearly visible on the outside of all packages you are sending to Editors.***
We invite you to submit original unpublished articles, not being considered for publication elsewhere. Extracts from, or translations of, published articles or book chapters are accepted only in special circumstances.
We accept submissions in three categories:
- Research Articles
Original research papers (maximum 10,000 words including endnotes, bibliography, and an abstract of up to 50 words).
- Topics, Notes and Comments
Informal items of topical interest (maximum 5000 words including endnotes and bibliography).
- Reviews of Folklore Scholarship
Review essays (maximum 5000 words), bibliographies, and book reviews (but see below).
We prefer submissions in a recent version of Microsoft Word (Mac or PC), but accept other formats. Keep tables, figures and text as separate files. Give us any helpful information (e.g. relationship of documents to each other; hardware used; software version) and email to articles@folklore-society.com, or post three printed copies to The Editor at:
The Folklore Society, The Warburg Institute, Woburn Square, London WC1H 0AB, UK
On the title page, give your name, title, email and postal addresses; and a brief biography (e.g. institution, research interests, other publications). If possible, supply names and addresses for up to four scholars in your field as referees. Your name should not appear in headers or footers, as the paper will be evaluated anonymously.
Final publication will be in the Folkore house style. To limit reworking, here follow important guidelines on electronic formatting, style, and bibliographic style. Detailed guides are available from the Editor. As an interim measure, check a copy of Folklore. Your paper does not have to conform on first submission.
Book Reviews Book reviews, not exceeding 1000 words, are normally by invitation. The Book Reviews Editor may be contacted at bookreviews@folklore-society.com or by post to The Folklore Society, The Warburg Institute, Woburn Square, London WC1H 0AB, UK.
Electronic formatting During make-up of the journal your text is flowed on to the page, so do not justify margins, use "soft" hyphens at the end of lines or any other device that interrupts the flow. Use the normal word wrap function. Do not bookmark your files. Use endnotes, not footnotes. Do not embed any markers in the text. Indent paragraphs uniformly using the tab key (0.38"). Indent displayed material left and right.
Free article access: Corresponding authors can receive 50 free reprints, free online access to their article through our website (www.informaworld.com) and a complimentary copy of the issue containing their article. Complimentary reprints are available through Rightslink® and additional reprints can be ordered through Rightslink® when proofs are received. If you have any queries, please contact our reprints department at reprints@tandf.co.uk
Style Provide headings and sub-headings to denote the main stages of your argument. Keep endnotes short and few, and key them in the text with an on-line (not superscript) numeral in square brackets, following closing punctuation. Provide a bibliography (under the heading References Cited) at the end of your paper. Give in-text citations in the order: author surname, date, page number(s) (do not use p. or pp.). Place citations at the end of the sentence, in date order, enclosed in round brackets, inside the closing punctuation, e.g. (Howkins 1986, 69). Use British English spelling (consult the Oxford Dictionary for Writers and Editors). Use US punctuation (consult the Chicago Manual of Style). Do not use sexist or racist language, and avoid political or religious polemic.
