Policies toward authors

Host website



Essays will be considered for publication by the editor.

Essays or proposals will not be distributed prior to publication without the author's prior knowledge and consent.

The editor reserves to herself the right to involve the editorial advisory board at what seems to be the appropriate time.

The editor might, in consultation with the author, seek expert advise.

If it is simpler or part of your institution's guidelines then please transfer copyright all rights reserved to Science, People & Politics in all formats and for all distribution methods.

First publication will be on line and remain open access.

The author is asked to acknowledge prior publication in Science, People & Politics. The author will have no control over which adverts the title carries and no percentage of advertising revenue.

If authors think, given the publishing/business model for Science, People & Politics, the existence of search-engine technology and of open-access publishing, that this policy needs to be reviewed the issue will be discussed prepublication.

If authors do not transfer copyright all rights reserved to Science, People & Politics in all formats and for all distribution methods they are asked in addition for use of copyright in the online version of the title to permit limited use of copyright for appearance of their work in a triennual print publication of limited run, with the main intent being to deposit a print copy of the Volume containing their work with the British Library. That version will include all the html mark up.

Authors are asked to submit their work saved as rich text format, as Word or as Corel WordPerfect.

The magazine reserves to itself responsibility for headlines, picture and figure captions and typographical and layout presentation of work.

If authors do not agree with headlines, picture captions, an edit or typographical presentation of their work they may have that disagreement noted on publication of their work or included in the version to be submitted for deposit at the British Library. Such deposit is, as of 20.2.09, still voluntary in the UK.
