About the journal
Environment and Planning C: Government and Policy is a fully refereed journal committed to interdisciplinary research on issues of Government and Policy with an international perspective.
The journal is interested in theoretical papers and empirical assessment. It also considers case studies provided that they have a broader international relevance. It is committed to a broad range of policy questions, not just those related to government and public policy. It has had many path-breaking papers on nonstate agents, private-public collaboration, and NGOs (nongovernmental organisations). All areas of economic, social and environmental institutions, and policy are included, as reflected in the broad Editorial Board. Disciplines from which papers are derived are broad and include political science, planning, geography, economics, law, sociology, and public administration. There is a strong presence of papers from North America, Britain, and Europe, but papers from all countries are encouraged.
The editors want to keep the journal at the forefront of debate about innovations in public policy backed up by theoretically based or empirical assessment. Occasionally the journal will devote all or part of an issue to a specific theme. Recent themes have covered "Restructuring in central Europe" and "Geography and public administration".
The editors are pleased to respond to proposals for papers or themes, subject to the normal standards of independent refereeing.
Instructions to Authors
Acceptance requirements Presentation Mathematics Tables Figures References
Four copies (three for EPC and EPD) plus an electronic copy (MS-Word format) should be sent to:
EPA and EPB -- the editorial assistant
EPC and EPD -- one of the editors familiar with the subject.
Submission of a paper must imply acceptance of the following four conditions: (1) the paper reports unpublished work;
(2) the paper is not being submitted to any other journal;
(3) you are fully authorised to submit the material for publication;
(4) if accepted, the paper will not be republished without the consent of the publisher.
The editor's decision is final. Papers should be written in English in nonsexist, nonracist language. Acceptance for publication will be sent to the author by the appropriate editor and will be followed by despatch of proofs. These should be returned without delay and alterations kept to a minimum. We may charge for excessive alterations. We do not acknowledge receipt of proofs. We cannot guarantee publication in a particular issue. Twenty-five reprints (or ten per author when there are more than two authors) will be provided free of charge. The principal author will be sent a copy of the issue in which the paper appears. Acceptance of a paper for publication implies assignment of copyright to Pion Limited.
Presentation
Manuscripts should be written in English, of no more than 35 pages, and preceded by a short abstract. They should be double-spaced (including references and footnotes), typed on A4 or American quarto on one side of the page only, and with a wide margin (4 cm) and numbered pages. Italic, bold, and Greek words and symbols should be clearly indicated as such. Take care that capital and lower-case characters, Latin and Greek characters (k and k, p and r), letters and numerals can be clearly distinguished.
Address. Author's first names are usually required. The address recorded should be where the work was done; the current address, if different, should be given as a footnote. E-mail addresses should be included.
Abstracts must be brief and report only the content of the paper; background and content information should be minimal, and are best avoided altogether. References should not be included in the abstract.
Text. Please check the writing most carefully before submission, especially for clarity of meaning and avoidance of ambiguity. Spelling and hyphenation should be consistent and should follow Webster's Dictionary. The paper should be kept as short as possible. Background information should be minimised but well supported by citing published work. Data may be presented as a table or as a figure, but not simultaneously in both forms. New terminology that is introduced must be defined, especially if it is not to be found in the dictionary. It should not be introduced at all if perfectly good words exist already. Uncommon abbreviations and acronyms should be defined the first time they are used. The order of headings should be indicated as 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. Numbering of sections is needed only when reference is made to these sections within the paper. Footnotes, or anything which disturbs the continuity of the reading and argument, should be avoided as much as possible. We do not use end notes. Foreign language words/phrases, if they are in common use, will appear in Webster's Dictionary and need not be italicised. If they are not in the dictionary, they should be explained and italicised the first time they are used. Capital letters should be used sparingly. For example, we capitalise the Housing Act 1980 but not the act. We do not capitalise job titles or academic subjects. Double quotation marks should be used to indicate only verbatim quoting. Single quotation marks are used for a quote within a quote. They can also be employed to indicate an unusual meaning or usage but should only be used when that meaning is introduced. Computer commands, programs, or output should be clearly indicated as such, as they are set in a different typeface. Please make sure to give the publisher of computer programs.
Acknowledgements should appear at the end of the text, before the references.
Mathematics
Equation numbers. Either number only the equations referred to in the text or number all equations in the paper. Appendix equations should be prefaced with a capital A (A1, A2, etc).
Characters.
Variables are set in italic (a, b, x, y);
Operators/descriptors/constants are set upright (d/max/c);
Vectors are set as bold italic (V);
Matrices are set as bold upright (M).
Please do not use multiletter variables because of the confusion with products. Multiletter codes for computer variables may be indicated and used, and these will be set in light sans-serif typeface. But, for all theoretical and algebraic manipulation, single letter notation must apply. Avoid second-order superscripts or subscripts.
Notation. Try to use standard notation wherever it exists; otherwise try to make the notation easy to remember. For example, C for cost can be written:
Ctotal = CL + CT + CM (L = labour, T = transport, M = materials);
the use of an alternative such as Ctotal = a + b + c (a = cost of labour, etc), should be avoided
Don't duplicate the use of charactersif p is price, it cannot also be used for probability.
Don't use root signs, always use indices.
In the text ?I>A is preferred to A/2.
Take care to avoid ambiguity in mathematical expressions.
a/b + c means (a/b) + c; otherwise write a/(b + c)
logxy is this log(xy) or ylogx?
Use ln for natural logs.
Tables
All tables should be numbered. Combine small and related tables into larger ones whenever feasible. Try to avoid grouping several tables and figures together when there is very little text. Don't include large tables of data already available elsewhere; alternatively, consider putting them in HTML format for publication as an adjunct on the journal website. Every table must have a caption which makes the data in the table understandable without reference to the text.
Figures
It is the author's responsibility to obtain any necessary copyright permissions (including permissions for web publication) for figures and photographs and to fulfil the copyright holder's requests for payment or copies of the paper. Please send copies of permissions granted with the figures.
Figures should be in separate files from the text. Figures should be computer-generated, not simply scanned in, and sent on disk (standard PC or ZIP) or CD-ROM. They must be accompanied by high-quality laser-printed copies. Lettering on figures should appear as required on the hard copy but should be removed form the electronic copy (with the exception of maps as we do not reletter these). All figures should be numbered consecutively throughout the paper. Each figure should have a caption explaining it, and this explanation should be independent of the text. Do not send figures by e-mail without prior consultation. Figures will not be returned unless specifically requested.
Computer-generated figures should be sent in the following formats only:
EPS (from vector graphics packages such as Adobe Illustrator);
TIFF and BMP (from raster graphics packages such as Adobe Photoshop)note that the resolution must be no less than 600dpi (200dpi for greyscale);
PDF;
MS-Word.
Please do not send figures in any other format (JPG, GIF, Powerpoint, Excel, etc). If the figure is not available in any of these formats, please send a hard copy (not a photocopy) of the figure for us to scan.
Please do not send electronic copies of scanned in figures.
Do not send colour versions of figures that are to be printed in black and white. When colour has been used to indicate differences in a figure, it is highly likely that different colours (for example, blue and red) will convert to the same grey values, and that pale colours (such as yellow) will effectively disappear. In addition, black lettering which is readable against colour may disappear against dark grey (see example).
Grey tones in figures (especially maps) should be chosen so that they are distinct on the final printout. We recommend a difference of at least 15%. Line widths in figures at the final output stage should be no less than 0.2mm. Do not complicate figures by adding 3D effects where this is not necessary (for example, in bar charts). 3D figures have much larger file sizes and tend not to print well.
Label disks clearly with the authors name and the title of the paper. Figures should be identified according to their respective numbers in the text. For example, fig1.eps, fig3.eps, especially when, say, figure 2 has not been computer generated. Please state which software packages have been used.
Please note that there is a significant difference between what appears on the screen and a laser printout. It is therefore essential to check that printouts are satisfactory before sending them to us.
Non-computer-generated figures (such as photographs or drawings) must be sent as originals and not as scanned copies. Hard copies for scanning (except for maps) should ideally have no lettering. Lettering on maps must be large enough to allow for reduction in print; we do not reletter these. Photographs (or half tones) should be supplied as good quality prints on glossy paper, either in colour or in black and white.
Graph lines should be made bolder than the axes (see example).
Colour printing can be undertaken but is expensive, and authors will be charged at cost.
