About the journal
Our culture is a scientific one, defining what is natural and what is rational. Its values can be seen in what are sought out as facts and made as artefacts, what are designed as processes and products, and what are forged as weapons and filmed as wonders. In our daily experience, power is exercised through expertise, e.g. in science, technology and medicine. Science as Culture explores how all these shape the values which contend for influence over the wider society.
Science mediates our cultural experience. It increasingly defines what it is to be a person, through genetics, medicine and information technology. Its values get embodied and naturalized in concepts, techniques, research priorities, gadgets and advertising. Many films, artworks and novels express popular concerns about these developments.
In a society where icons of progress are drawn from science, technology and medicine, they are either celebrated or demonised. Often their progress is feared as ’unnatural’, while their critics are labelled ’irrational’. Public concerns are rebuffed by ostensibly value-neutral experts and positivist polemics.
Yet the culture of science is open to study like any other culture. Cultural studies analyses the role of expertise throughout society. Many journals address the history, philosophy and social studies of science, its popularisation, and the public understanding of society.
Amidst these journals, Science as Culture is ’the only source of critique of the way science is going’, as one of our readers put it. Not simply criticism, critique analyses the underlying frameworks, assumptions and terms of reference. It emphasizes the fundamental role of values, interests, ideology and purposes -- which would otherwise remain hidden in the guise of neutrality and objectivity. Science as Culture places science within the wider debate on the values which constitute culture; it is not the journal for a particular academic discipline.
Science as Culture encompasses people’s experiences -- at the workplace, the cinema, the computer, the hospital, the home and the academy. The articles are readable, attractive, lively, often humorous, and always jargon-free. Science as Culture aims to be read at leisure, and to be a pleasure.

- A typical manuscript will not exceed 6,000 words not including tables, references, figure captions, footnotes or endnotes. Short communications and case reports will be limited to two journal pages (approximately 1200 words including tables and references). Manuscripts that greatly exceed this will be critically reviewed with respect to length. Authors should include a word count with their manuscript.
- Manuscripts should be compiled in the following order: title page; abstract; keywords; main text; acknowledgements; references; appendices (as appropriate); table(s) with caption(s) (on individual pages); figure caption(s) (as a list).
- Abstracts of 200 words are required for all manuscripts submitted.
- Each manuscript should have 4 to 6 keywords .
- Search engine optimization (SEO) is a means of making your article more visible to anyone who might be looking for it. Please consult our guidance here .
- Section headings should be concise.
- All authors of a manuscript should include their full names, affiliations, postal addresses, telephone numbers and email addresses on the cover page of the manuscript. One author should be identified as the corresponding author. Please give the affiliation where the research was conducted. If any of the named co-authors moves affiliation during the peer review process, the new affiliation can be given as a footnote. Please note that no changes to affiliation can be made after the manuscript is accepted. Please note that the email address of the corresponding author will normally be displayed in the article PDF (depending on the journal style) and the online article.
- All persons who have a reasonable claim to authorship must be named in the manuscript as co-authors; the corresponding author must be authorized by all co-authors to act as an agent on their behalf in all matters pertaining to publication of the manuscript, and the order of names should be agreed by all authors.
- Please supply a short biographical note for each author.
- Please supply all details required by any funding and grant-awarding bodies as an Acknowledgement on the title page of the manuscript, in a separate paragraph, as follows:
- For single agency grants: "This work was supported by the [Funding Agency] under Grant [number xxxx]."

Conflict of interest
A conflict of interest exists if authors or their institutions have financial or personal relationships with other people or organisations that could inappropriately influence (bias) their actions. Financial relationships are easily identifiable, but conflicts can also occur because of personal relationships, academic competition, or intellectual passion. A conflict can be actual or potential, and full disclosure to the Editor-in-Chief is the safest course. All submissions to Sexual and Relationship Therapy must include disclosure of all relationships that could be viewed as presenting a potential conflict of interest. The Editor-in-Chief may use such information as a basis for editorial decisions, and will publish such disclosures if they are believed to be important to readers in judging the article.
Conflict of interest declaration should follow the discussion and precede the references. Specifically it must detail:
- The source(s) of financial support for the research (if none, write “none).
- A description of any sponsor’s role(s) in the research (e.g., formulation of research question(s), choice of study design, data collection, data analysis and decision to publish).
- Information about any financial relationship between any author and any organization with a vested interest in the conduct and reporting of the study.
Sexual and Relationship Therapy aims to conform to the policies of the World Association of Medical Editors in regard to conflict of interest. For full details please see the website www.wame.org/wamestmt.htm#fundres .
Acknowledgement of the funding source
All sources of funding should be declared as an acknowledgement at the end of the text. Under a subheading “Role of the funding source”, authors must describe the role of the study sponsor(s), if any, in study design; in the collection, analysis, and interpretation of data; in the writing of the report; and in the decision to submit the paper for publication. If the funding source had no such involvement, the authors should so state.
Patients’ consent and permission to publish
Studies on clients/patients or volunteers need approval from an ethics committee and informed consent from participants. These should be documented in your paper. Identifying information of clients/patients should not be published in written descriptions, photographs, and pedigrees unless the information is essential for scientific purposes and the client/patient, or next of kin gives written informed consent for publication. Informed consent for this purpose requires that the patient be shown the article to be published.
Reporting randomized controlled trials
In order to ensure the public availability of the results of randomized controlled trials, the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors has suggested that all such trials should be registered. In common with many other leading journals, Sexual and Relationship Therapy has decided to follow this policy. From 1 January 2009 we will no longer review any paper submitted to us reporting a randomized clinical trial unless the trial was registered in a public trial registry from the date it commenced recruitment or, if recruitment started before 31 December 2008, we require that the trial was registered no later than 31 December 2008.
All manuscripts reporting randomized controlled trials should have the following sent with them or they will be returned to the authors.
A check list and flow chart in accordance with the CONSORT guidelines which can be found at http://www.consort-statement.org . Please send in the checklist as a supplementary file and include the flow chart as Figure 1 in the manuscript.
The trial protocol is to be submitted as a supplementary file. This will not be published but it is needed to appraise and peer review the paper.
The registration number of the trial and the name of the trial registry in which it was registered. Please add these to the last line of the paper’s structured abstract. Trials that began enrolment of patients after 1 January 2009 must be registered in a public trials registry at or before the onset of enrolment to be considered for publication in Sexual and Relationship Therapy. Trials that began enrolment prior to 31 December 2008 must have been registered no later than that date. Our criteria for a suitable public trial registry are: free to access; searchable; identification of trials by unique number; free or minimal cost for registration; validation of registered information; inclusion of details to identify the trial and the investigator within the registered entry (including the status of the trial); research question; methodology; intervention; and funding and sponsorship disclosed.
If the research was paid for by a funding organization, the cover letter must contain the following three statements. If the research was not paid for by a funding organization only the third statement is required:
- That the authors have not entered into an agreement with the funding organization that has limited their ability to complete the research as planned and publish the results.
- That the authors have had full control of all the primary data.
- That the authors are willing to allow the journal to review their data if requested.
2. Style guidelines
3. Figures
- Please provide the highest quality figure format possible. Please be sure that all imported scanned material is scanned at the appropriate resolution: 1200 dpi for line art, 600 dpi for grayscale and 300 dpi for colour.
- Figures must be saved separate to text. Please do not embed figures in the manuscript file.
- Files should be saved as one of the following formats: TIFF (tagged image file format), PostScript or EPS (encapsulated PostScript), and should contain all the necessary font information and the source file of the application (e.g. CorelDraw/Mac, CorelDraw/PC).
- All figures must be numbered in the order in which they appear in the manuscript (e.g. Figure 1, Figure 2). In multi-part figures, each part should be labelled (e.g. Figure 1(a), Figure 1(b)).
- Figure captions must be saved separately, as part of the file containing the complete text of the manuscript, and numbered correspondingly.
- The filename for a graphic should be descriptive of the graphic, e.g. Figure1, Figure2a.
