Instructions for Authors

This journal uses ScholarOne Manuscripts (previously Manuscript Central) to peer review manuscript submissions. Please read the guide for ScholarOne authors before making a submission. Complete guidelines for preparing and submitting your manuscript to this journal are provided below.

All articles should be submitted via the Journal's ScholarOne Manuscripts site. Authors should first create an account, then submit through the Author Centre.

To ensure anonymous peer review, all identifying information should be removed and your article should be uploaded as "Main Document". A title page, including author information, can be uploaded separately.

Writers need to bear in mind that they are addressing an international and multidisciplinary audience. Non-discriminatory language should be used, key terms need to be clearly defined and portraits of the context in which the work is situated needs to be given where appropriate.

Word Length

Reflective Practice publishes articles of up to 6,000 words (inclusive of references) or equivalent in length. Additionally, the journal welcomes shorter pieces on: recent initiatives; reports of work in progress; proposals for collaborative research; theoretical positions; knowledge reported in poetic, diagrammatic and narrative form, illuminated by line drawings and photography; provocative problem and question posing thought pieces; reflective dialogues; creative reflective conversations.

Tables, figures and other illustrative material needs to be completely understandable and independent of the text. Tables need to be typed and submitted on separate sheets and not included as part of the text. The captions to all tables, figures and other illustrative material needs to be gathered together and typed on a separate sheet. Please supply clear camera-ready copies of artwork and in a finished form suitable for reproduction. Figures will not normally be redrawn by the publisher. The negatives of any photographs to be used in the paper will need to be sent to the Editor. Tables and all other illustrations should be numbered by Arabic numerals. The appropriate position of tables, figures and other illustrative material needs to be indicated in the paper.

As an author, you are required to secure permission if you want to reproduce any figure, table, or extract from the text of another source. This applies to direct reproduction as well as "derivative reproduction" (where you have created a new figure or table which derives substantially from a copyrighted source). For further information and FAQs, please see http://journalauthors.tandf.co.uk/preparation/permission.asp
