About the journal
|
 |
Health, Risk & Society is a new international scholarly journal devoted to a theoretical and empirical understanding of the social processes which influence the ways in which risks are taken, communicated, assessed and managed in relationship to health and health care.
Public awareness of risk is associated with the development of high profile media debates about specific risks. Although risk issues arise in a variety of areas, such as technological usage and the environment, they are particularly well developed in health. Not only is health a major issue of personal and collective concern but failure to effectively assess and manage risk is likely to result in health problems. Health, Risk & Society is being launched with the aim of stimulating wider academic study of the issues by providing a focus for study and publication by academics with interests in the relationship between risk, health and society.
Health, Risk & Society will be an interdisciplinary and intersectoral journal and contributions are welcomed from a variety of social sciences disciplines including economics, sociology, psychology and management which examine the issues of risk within health and health care. The journal particularly encourages submission of articles which explore the ways in which risk was handled at a variety of levels, e.g. in the community, within various organisations and at national and supranational levels. Articles should be accessible to a variety of audiences, including practititoners and policy-makers.
Health, Risk & Society is covered by the following abstracting, indexing and citation services: Occupational Safety and Health database (OSH-DB), Cumulative Index to Nursing & Allied Health Literature, Current Contents/Social & Behavioral Sciences EBSCO, Educational Research Abstracts online (ERA), EMBASE, e-psyche, Family Studies Database (NISC), Health and Safety Science, International Bibliography of the Social Sciences, ISI Alerting Services, PASCAL, PsycINFO, Psychological Abstracts, Social Sciences Citation Index. |
Instructions to Authors
Health, Risk & Society welcomes original contributions from all parts of the world on the understanding that their contents have not previously been published nor submitted elsewhere for publication. It is a condition of acceptance that papers become the copyright of the publisher. Authors are themselves responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce copyright material from other sources.
Manuscripts ideally between 5000 and 8000 words should be sent to the Editor, Professor Andy Alaszewski, Centre for Health Services, George Allen Wing, University of Kent at Canterbury, Canterbury, CT2 7NF, UK; Tel: 01227 764000; Fax: 01227 827868; E-mail:a.m.alaszewski@ukc.ac.uk
Articles can only be considered if three complete copies of each manuscript are submitted. Papers should be typed on one side of the paper, double spaced throughout (including the references), with margins of at least 2.5 cm (1 inch). All pages must be numbered.
The first page should include the title of the paper, first name, middle initial(s) and last name of the author(s), and for each author a short institutional address, and an abbreviated title (for running headlines within the article). At the bottom of the page give the full name and address (including telephone and fax numbers and e-mail address if possible) of the author to whom all correspondence (including proofs) should be sent. The second page should repeat the title and contain an abstract of not more than 200 words. The third page should repeat the title as a heading to the main body of the text. Long articles may need subheadings within some sections to clarify their content. Within the text section headings and subheadings should be typed on a separate line without numbering, indentation or bold or italic typeface. Foreign language words or phrases should be in italics with appropriate explanatory footnotes.
References should follow the Harvard system, i.e. they should be indicated in the typescript by giving the author's names, with the year of publication in parentheses, e.g. Smith (1984); or if there are more than three authors - Smith et al. (1984). If several papers from the same authors and from the same year are cited, a, b, c, etc. should be put after the year of publication. The references should be listed in full at the end of the paper on a separate sheet in the following standard form:
GRINYER, A. (1995) Risk, the real world and naïve sociology, in: J. GABE (Ed) Medicine, Health and Risk: Sociological Approaches pp.31-51 (Oxford, Blackwell).
DOUGLAS, M. (1992) Risk and Blame: Essays in Cultural Theory (London, Routledge).
MANTHORPE, J., WALSH, M., ALASZEWSKI, A. AND HARRISON, L. (1997) Issues of risk practice and welfare in learning disability services, Disability & Society, 12, pp. 69-82.
Titles of journals should not be abbreviated.
Tables and figures should be completely understandable independent of the text. Tables must be typed on separate sheets and not included as part of the text. The captions to illustrations should be gathered together and typed on a separate sheet. Tables should be numbered by Roman numerals, and figures by Arabic numerals. The approximate position of tables and figures should be indicated in the manuscript. Please supply clear copies of artwork for figures in a finished form suitable for reproduction. Figures will not normally be redrawn by the publisher. Photographs should be unmounted, high-contrast glossy prints, with as much contrast as the subject allows.
Proofs will be sent by fax or air mail to the author nominated for correspondence. Proofs are supplied for checking and making essential typographical corrections, not for general revision or alteration. Proofs must be returned (by air mail or fax) within 72 hours of receipt. While reasonable steps will be taken to ensure that such proofreading is accurate, neither the Editors nor the Publishers shall be responsible for any errors.
Early Electronic Offprints: Corresponding authors can now receive their article by e-mail as a complete PDF. This allows the author to print up to 50 copies, free of charge, and disseminate them to colleagues. In many cases this facility will be available up to two weeks prior to publication. Or, alternatively, corresponding authors will receive the traditional 50 offprints. A copy of the journal will be sent by post to all corresponding authors after publication. Additional copies of the journal can be purchased at the author’s preferential rate of ?5.00/$25.00 per copy.
