Instructions to Authors
Manuscript Submission Guidelines:
The editor welcomes submission of manuscripts for consideration. By submission of a manuscript an author certifies that the work is original and is not being considered simultaneously by another publisher.
SUBMISSION OF MSS
Please send two copies of your manuscript to: Anne Goulding, Department of Information Science, Loughborough University, Loughborough, Leics LE11 3TU, UK [email: a.goulding@lboro.ac.uk]. Authors are encouraged to submit papers in machine-readable form or via email to the journal editor, Anne Goulding. This should be as an unformatted text file on disk together with a printed version. Alternatively, papers may be submitted as typed manuscript, which should be double-spaced and on single sides. Left and right margins should be at least 40mm wide. Two copies of the typescript are required.
COVERING LETTER
Please attach to every submission a letter confirming that all authors have agreed to the submission and that the article is not currently being considered for publication by any other journal.
FORMAT OF MSS
Manuscripts should be typed on one side of the paper, double-spaced, with ample margins and bear the title of the contribution and the name(s) of the author(s) on a separate sheet of paper. The full postal address/phone/fax/email details of each author plus short biographical notes should also be included. All pages should be numbered. Contributions should normally be between 4000 and 10,000 words in length. They should include an abstract of about 100 words and up to six key words. The abstract should cover the overall purpose or research problem, stated early in the abstract, the methodology used, including the research design, sample, and data collection methods, a concise discussion of a few significant research findings and an overview of the main conclusions of the paper. The journal uses notes where necessary. Historical, documentary or archival sources should be cited in endnotes. Discursive endnotes are also allowed. Endnotes are signalled in the text by superscript numbers. References in both the text and in any endnotes should follow Harvard style. References are cited in the text thus: author, date: page; an alphabetical References section should follow the text (and endnotes if any), using the Harvard system. Titles of journals should not be abbreviated. Sample end references:
