About the journal

 |
The British Journal of Guidance & Counselling exists to communicate theoretical and practical writing of high quality in the guidance and counselling field. It is addressed to an international, interdisciplinary audience and welcomes submissions dealing with diverse theoretical orientations from practitioners and researchers from around the world. It is concerned to promote the following areas:
- the theory and practice of guidance and counselling
- the provision of guidance and counselling services
- training and professional issues
Theoretical and empirical studies relating to the practice of guidance and counselling are reported, drawing on a variety of disciplines, encompassing both quantitative and qualitative methodologies, and ranging in scope from large-scale surveys to individual case-studies. The journal also explores the links between various areas of guidance and counselling and their relationship to such cognate fields as education, psychotherapy and social work.
In addition to regular papers, the journal features special articles under the headings 'A Personal View', 'Interview', 'In Practice' and 'Debate', along with book reviews and frequent Symposia focusing on areas of particular interest.

***Note to Authors: please make sure your contact address information is clearly visible on the outside of all packages you are sending to Editors.***
Articles should be original: if any material overlaps with material which the author has published or is submitting elsewhere, this should be made clear when the article is submitted. Manuscripts relating to guidance should be sent to Dr Jenny Kidd, Department of Organizational Psychology, Birkbeck College, University of London, Malet Street, London, WC1 7HX, UK. Manuscripts relating to counselling should be sent to Dr Paul Wilkins, Centre for Human Communication, Manchester Metropolitan University, 799 Wilmslow Road, Didsbury, M20 2RR, UK (papers covering both fields or related fields can be sent to either). Main articles should normally be about 3,000-6,000 words in length; short research reports and notes on practice should be 1,500-2,500 words in length. All articles should be written in a clear and straight-forward style, and implications for guidance and counselling practice should be discussed. Sexist language should be avoided: guidelines on non-sexist use of language are available from the Editor. Detailed statistical evidence should in general be summarised in the text though a limited number of tables may be included if they are clear and comprehensible to lay readers. An abstract of 60-120 words should be provided at the beginning of the article.
Electronic Submission. Authors should send the final, revised version of their articles in both hard copy paper and electronic disk forms. It is essential that the hard copy (paper) version exactly matches the material on disk. Please print out the hard copy from the disk you are sending. Submit three printed copies of the final version with the disk to the journal's editorial office. Save all files on a standard 3.5 inch high-density disk. We prefer to receive disks in Microsoft Word in a PC format, but can translate from most other common word processing programs as well as Macs. Please specify which program you have used. Do not save your files as "text only" or "read only".
A Personal View. Articles in the 'A Personal View' section should represent a personal statement about a topical issue which the author feels needs airing in relation to the development of guidance and counselling. They should be opinionated but informed, and brief (1,500-3,000 words); they may also be controversial and speculative.
Interview. Articles in the 'Interview' section should represent interviews with individuals whose experience and views are likely to be of wide interest to those involved in theory, policy and practice in the guidance and counselling field. They should preferably be 3,000-5,000 words in length. Suggestions for people to be interviewed, and offers to conduct interviews, should be passed to the Editor.
In Practice. Articles for the 'In Practice' section should provide descriptions and comments on new or experimental services or practices. Alternatively, they should be case-studies which are interesting in their own right and raise issues of a more general nature for the practice of guidance and counselling. They should preferably be 1,500-3,000 words in length.
Debate. Articles for the 'Debate' section should comprise responses to articles which have appeared in previous issues of the journal. They should preferably be 750-1,500 words in length.
The manuscripts should be typed on one side of A4 paper with double spacing and with a margin to the left. They should conform to the style set out below. Four clear copies should be submitted, and a copy should be retained by the author. Manuscripts are normally sent to three independent referees. Manuscripts should be submitted in the style of the American Psychological Association (Publication Manual, 4th edition, 1994). To enable the refereeing procedure to be anonymous and impartial, the name(s) and institution(s) of the author(s) should not be included at the head of the article, but should be typed on a separate sheet and submitted with it.
References should follow a modified version of the style of the American Psychological Association. All publications cited in the text should be listed following the text; similarly, all references listed must be mentioned in the text. Within the text, references should be indicated by the author’s name and year of publication in parentheses, e.g. (Folkman, 1992) or (Sartory & Stern, 1979), or if there are more than two authors (Gallico et al., 1985). Where several references are quoted consecutively, or within a single year, within the text the order should be alphabetical, e.g. (Mawson, 1992; Parry & Watts, 1989) and (Grey, 1992; Kelly, 1992; Smith, 1992). If more than one paper from the same author(s) and year are listed, the date should be followed by (a), (b), etc., e.g. (Cobb, 1992a).
The references should be listed alphabetically by author on a separate sheet(s) (double spaced) in the following standard form, capitalisation and punctuation:
a) for periodical articles (titles of journals should not be abbreviated): BALK, D. (1979). How teenagers cope with sibling death. School Counselor, 31, 150-158.
b) for books: LOWENFELD, M. (1979). The World Technique. Chicago: Phoenix Books.
c) for chapters within multi-authored books: BEDNAR, R.L. & KAUL, T.J. (1978). Experimental group research: current perspectives. In S.L. GARFIELD & A.E. BERGIN (Eds), Handbook of Psychotherapy and Behavior Change (pp. 75-89). Chichester: Wiley.
Journal titles should not be abbreviated and unnecessary references should be avoided.
Tables and figures should be supplied on separate sheets and should be numbered consecutively in the text in Arabic numerals (e.g. Table 3 or Fig. 3). Their approximate position in the text should be indicated. Units should appear in parentheses in the column heading but not in the body of the table. Words or numerals should be repeated on successive lines; 'ditto' or 'do' should not be used.
Copyright: It is a condition of the publication that authors vest or license copyright in their articles, including abstracts, in Careers Research and Advisory Centre. This enables us to ensure full copyright protection and to disseminate the article, and the journal, to the widest possible readership in print and electronic formats as appropriate. Authors may, of course, use the article elsewhere after publication without prior permission from Careers Research and Advisory Centre, provided that acknowledgement is given to the Journal as the original source of publication, and that Taylor & Francis is notified so that our records show that its use is properly authorised.
Client material. Care must be taken to disguise the identity of clients. Where case-study material is presented on a particular client which may enable the client's identity to be recognised by him/herself or by others, written consent must be requested from the client concerned; assurance that such consent has been obtained should be provided to the editor, and should also where appropriate be mentioned within the article as part of the description of the methodology used. Any liability to clients on the grounds of infringing confidentiality belongs to the author(s).
Proofs will be sent to the author if there is sufficient time to do so. Proofs, including proofs of illustrations, are supplied for checking and for essential corrections only, not for general revision or alteration. Proofs should be corrected and returned to the Editor within 3 days of receipt.
Early Electronic Offprints: Corresponding authors can now receive their article by e-mail as a complete PDF. This allows the author to print up to 50 copies, free of charge, and disseminate them to colleagues. In many cases this facility will be available up to two weeks prior to publication. Or, alternatively, corresponding authors will receive the traditional 50 offprints. A copy of the journal will be sent by post to all corresponding authors after publication. Additional copies of the journal can be purchased at the author’s preferential rate of ?5.00/$25.00 per copy.
