About the journal
Telecommunications Policy is concerned with the changing roles of telecommunications in the economy and society. It provides a forum for research and debate amongst academics, policymakers, regulators, industry managers, consultants and other professionals. Its orientation is multidisciplinary and international, encompassing issues of both theory and practice. Its scope includes issues of telecom reform at national, regional and international levels, including issues confronting both developed and developing countries. It pays particular attention to the implications of convergence for knowledge infrastructure development, management and regulation.
Instructions to Authors
Submissions
Three copies (the original and two copies) must be submitted to the Editor. Articles should be 4000-6000 words long and should refer principally to the political, economic and social aspects of telecommunications. Comments, reports or rejoinders to articles should be much shorter, usually 1000-3000 words.
Contributions are normally received with the understanding that their contents are original, unpublished material and are not being submitted for publication elsewhere. Translated material, which has not been published in English, will also be considered.
The Editors reserve the right to edit or otherwise alter contributions, but authors will receive proofs for approval before publication.
Refereeing
All full-length papers submitted for publication will be reviewed on the 'double blind' system by one or more referees selected, as appropriate to the subject matter of the paper, from the journal's panel of referees. Shorter articles appearing in the 'Comment' section are refereed at the discretion of the Editor.
Presentation
Manuscripts must be typed in journal style, double-spaced (abstract and references/notes should be triple-spaced) on one side only of International Standard Size A4 paper (or the nearest size available), with a left-hand margin of 40 mm.
Manuscripts should be arranged in the following order of presentation. First sheet: title, subtitle (if desired), author's name, affiliation, full postal address and telephone and fax numbers. Re-spective affiliations and addresses of co-authors should be clearly indicated. Second sheet: a self-contained abstract of 100 words; acknowledgments (if any); article title abbreviated appropriately for use as a running headline. Subsequent sheets: main body of text; appendixes; tables (on separate sheets); references and notes (numbered consecutively); captions to illustrations (on a separate sheet); illustrations. Each sheet must carry the abbreviated title of the article and the journal name.
The text should be organized under appropriate section headings, which, ideally, should not be more than 800 words apart. All headings should be placed on the left-hand side of the text, with a double line space above and below.
All measurements should be given in metric units.
Authors are urged to write as concisely as possible, but not at the expense of clarity. Descriptive or explanatory passages, necessary as information but which tend to break up the flow of text, should be put into footnotes or appendixes.
Text preparation on disk
The publisher encourages submissions to the journal on disk. The electronic version on disk should be sent with the final accepted version of the paper to the Editor. The hard copy and electronic files must match exactly. Please contact the editorial offices for full guidelines on disk submission.
References
The manuscript should include a bibliography containing only those references cited in the text. The references should be arranged in alphabetical order according to the surname of the "first author. Works by the same author should be listed in order of publication. The specific format is that of the APA (American Psychological Association). Examples are given below
For journals: Witte, E. & Dowling, M. (1991). Value-added services: regulation and reality in the Federal Republic of Germany. Telecommunications Policy, 15(5), 437-452.
For books: Garnaut, R. (1989). Australia and the north-east Asian ascendancy. Canberra: Australian Government Publishing Service.
Tables
Tables should be numbered consecutively in arabic numerals and given a suitable caption. Notes and references within tables should be included with the tables, separately from the main text. Notes should be referred to by superscript letters. All table columns should have an explanatory heading. Tables should not repeat data available elsewhere in the article, eg in an illustration.
Illustrations
All graphs, diagrams and other drawings should be referred to as Figures, which should be numbered consecutively in arabic numerals and placed on separate sheets at the end of the manuscript. Their position should be indicated in the text. All illustrations must have captions, which should be typed on a separate sheet.
Illustrations should be provided in a form suitable for reproduction without retouching: that is, they should be camera-ready. Three copies of the illustrations should be provided: the original, a clean photocopy, and a photocopy with labels marked up as appropriate, in black ink. Illustrations should permit reduction, with lines drawn proportionally thicker and symbols larger than required in the printed version.
Authors should minimize the amount of descriptive matter on graphs or drawings, and refer to curves, points, etc, by their symbols. Descriptive matter should be placed in the caption or a separate note. Scale grids should not be used in the graphs, unless required for actual measurements.
