Anarchist Studies

Instructions for Authors

Prospective contributions are considered on the understanding that they are not currently under consideration for publication elsewhere.

Papers should be in English, word processed and double-spaced throughout. Please number pages. The standard length of papers is approximately 8000 words, to a maximum of 10,000 words including all references but shorter pieces are also encouraged. In the first instance please send one hard copy to r.e.kinna@lboro.ac.uk.

Authors whose work is accepted for review will be asked to supply an electronic version of the article as an email file attachment (PC compatible). Author information, including full postal addresses and any acknowledgements in the form preferred for publication, should be provided on a separate page and should not appear elsewhere in the paper. Please keep self-citations to a minimum and to ensure anonymity in peer review, do not make reference to previously published work in the text of the paper. Please also provide a 100-150 word summary/abstract and three or four keywords.

References can be presented either in-text or as footnotes.

In-text notes should take one of the following forms: (Bookchin 1989: 263) or (Clark, The Anarchist Moment, pp. 24-5).

A separate list of bibliographic references, ordered alphabetically should also be provided, formatted as indicated:

Bookchin, Murray 1989. New social movements: the anarchic dimension. In David Goodway, (ed.) For Anarchism pp. 259-74. London, Routledge.

Clark, John 1984. The Anarchist Moment. Montreal, Black Rose.

Ehrlich, Howard 1982. How to get from here to there: building a revolutionary transfer culture. Social Anarchism 2(2): 3-21

Please do not abbreviate journal titles. Where more than one work from the same author has been cited, please list single-authored work before edited work and then order by date of publication.

Footnotes should be numbered consecutively through the text, double-spaced throughout. Please use Arabic numerals. Notes should provide full publishing details as follows:

J. Cowley, The Victorian Encounter With Marx (London & New York, 1992), p. 135.

M. Bevir, 'Ernest Belfort Bax: Marxist, Idealist, and Positivist', Journal of the History of Ideas, 54 (1993), pp. 119-121.

For consecutive references to the same work, Ibid. is permitted. Please do not use op.cit. or any other Latin notation. Indicate the abbreviation of long titles on first reference: 'subsequent reference to Victorian Encounter'. Authors are encouraged to keep endnotes to a minimum and to avoid using notes for additional text. Please note, authors may be requested to convert footnotes to endnotes if they appear overlong or clutter up the page.

A separate bibliography is not required.

The editors reserve the right to make alterations which do not involve any change of meaning. Papers accepted become the copyright of the journal unless specifically agreed to the contrary, though contributors are free to use material in subsequent publications written or edited by themselves, provided Anarchist Studies is acknowledged as the original place of publication. Authors will receive one copy of the journal on publication of the article.
