Manuscript Format
Figures and tables files should be supplied to the following specifications: 300dpi for images; 600dpi for line drawings. The author should retain a complete copy of the manuscript for proof-reading. The manuscript should be clearly typewritten on one side only of standard-sized paper, double-spaced throughout, with 3 cm wide margins, and should be arranged as follows:
Title page. The title of the article should appear on a separate title page, with the name(s) and institutional affiliation(s) of the author(s), and the full postal address of the author to whom proofs, offprints and other correspondence should be sent.
Abstract. An abstract not exceeding 250 words, including the aim, scope, and main conclusions of the article, should also be presented on a separate page.
Main text. Use three or fewer grades of heading. All headings should start at the left margin and be typewritten with capital initials; they are not to be underlined (except those to be italicized). Indicate in the margin where Figures and Tables should be placed. The words `Fig.', `Figs.') and `Table' (unabbreviated) are to be written with capital initials.
Figures. Originals should be submitted camera-ready, identified on the back, and numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals. Legends must be typed on a separate sheet(s). Please do not prepare graphs in color.
Tables. Each table should be typed, double-spaced, on a separate sheet(s) and should have a short descriptive heading. Tables are to be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals. Use table function or tabs when you make tables. Do not put manual spaces between columns.
Notes. Notes should be typed on separate sheets and numbered consecutively. They will appear at the end of the text. They should be brief and limited to essential explanation.
References. The list of references, typed on a separate sheet(s), should be unnumbered and in alphabetical order and should include all authors referred to in the text and in tables or legends.

Pesonen, P. 1968. An Election in Finland. New Haven: Yale University Press.
Rokkan, S. 1975. `Towards a Generalized Concept of Verzuiling', Paper, ECPR Workshop on Religion and Language in Politics, London.
Valen, H. & Rokkan, S. 1977. `Norway: Conflict Structure and Mass Politics in a European Periphery', in Rose, R., ed., Electoral Behavior: A Comparative Handbook. New York: Free Press.

Proofs
The corresponding author will receive an email alert containing a link to a web site. A working e-mail address must therefore be provided for the corresponding author. The proof can be downloaded as a PDF (portable document format) file from this site. Acrobat Reader will be required in order to read this file. This software can be downloaded (free of charge) from the following web site: www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html.
This will enable the file to be opened, read on screen and printed out in order for any corrections to be added. Further instructions will be sent with the proof. Hard copy proofs will be posted if no e-mail address is available. Excessive changes made by the author in the proofs, excluding typesetting errors, will be charged separately.
Offprints
Authors will be provided with an electronic offprint (PDF) of their article.
Exclusive Licence Form
Authors will be required to sign an Exclusive Licence Form (ELF) for all papers accepted for publication. Signature of the ELF is a condition of publication and papers will not be passed to the publisher for production unless a signed form has been received. Please note that signature of the Exclusive Licence Form does not affect ownership of copyright in the material. (Government employees need to complete the Author Warranty sections, although copyright in such cases does not need to be assigned). After submission authors will retain the right to publish their paper in various medium/circumstances (please see the form for further details). To assist authors an appropriate form will be supplied by the editorial office. Alternatively, authors may like to download a copy of the form here.
Early View
Scandinavian Political Studies is covered by Wiley-Blackwell's Early View service. Early View articles are complete full-text articles published online in advance of their publication in a printed issue. Articles are therefore available as soon as they are ready, rather than having to wait for the next scheduled print issue. Early View articles are complete and final. They have been fully reviewed, revised and edited for publication, and the authors' final corrections have been incorporated. Because they are in final form, no changes can be made after online publication. The nature of Early View articles means that they do not yet have volume, issue or page numbers, so Early View articles cannot be cited in the traditional way. They are therefore given a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), which allows the article to be cited and tracked before it is allocated to an issue. After print publication, the DOI remains valid and can continue to be used to cite and access the article.
