Footnotes to the text should be avoided. Sponsorship of the research reported (e.g. by research councils, government departments and agencies, etc.) should be declared.
Non-discriminatory writing. Please ensure that writing is free from bias, for instance by substituting 'he' or 'his' by 'he or she' or 's/he' or 'his/her' and by using non-racist language. Authors might wish to note the BERA Ethical Guidelines for Educational Research.
