How to Contribute

Power and Education is an international peer-reviewed journal promoting critical studies of contemporary educational practice and challenging the complicit routines of mainstream educational research.

Articles for consideration should be sent by email attachment
to Dr Michael F. Watts (
michael.watts@wwwords.eu) after a 
careful reading of the requirements shown below.

Articles accepted for publication become the copyright of the journal unless otherwise specifically agreed. All contributions should be original and should not be under consideration elsewhere. Authors should be aware that they are writing for an international audience and should use non-discriminatory language.

All submissions to the journal are peer-refereed so they are published in accordance with international academic standards for research publication.

The journal seeks to receive:
academic articles (about 7,000 words)
interchanges and responses to articles (up to 2,000 words)
thematic reviews (no word limit)
book reviews (up to 1,000 words)

Books for review should be sent to Dr Michael F. Watts, Power and Education, Centre for Educational Research and Development, Von Hügel Institute, St Edmunds College, Cambridge CB3 0BN, United Kingdom.

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
Authors are welcome to deposit their original/personal manuscript files ‘live’ in their institution’s archive (ideally with a link to the final version of the article as it appears on the journal's website) but the journal asks that authors do not deposit the final typeset version (i.e. the website version) until 18 months after formal publication. Please note that all articles published within Symposium journals automatically become open access 18 months after publication, so authors are asked to respect that embargo period.

Manuscripts should be submitted as email attachments to michael.watts@wwwords.eu in Rich Text Format or Microsoft Word. Please do not over-format the manuscript with the word-processor as this impedes the publication process.

The author’s name and affiliation should appear at the beginning of the article, together with full postal and email addresses. This should be followed by a short description of their current position and research/teaching interests. All other information identifying the author should be removed from the article to allow for anonymous reviewing.

It is essential that an Abstract (100–200 words) be provided for each article.

Figures and tables should have their positions marked clearly and be provided on separate pages. Figure numbers should be shown as Arabic numerals, table numbers as Latin numerals.

All material/works cited in the article need to be included in an alphabetical reference list at the end. Please use the following style:

When first mentioned, acronyms should be preceded by the title in full. Journal titles should not be abbreviated.

Footnotes should not be used. Endnotes need to be located in the text by numbers within square brackets ([1], [2] etc) as normal-size numbers/brackets and not as superscripts.

Proofs will be sent in PDF format to the author designated to receive them, and should be corrected and returned immediately to the Editors. Contributors will be notified when the article has been published on the Journal’s website.

Please contact our publishers (support@symposium-journals.co.uk) if you have any questions or need further information about the preparation of word-processed documents for publication.
