Notes for Contributors
- The editor invites submissions that examine research topics located at the intersection between press/news/journalism and political actors and processes. The Journal will consider only one submission from the same lead author every three years.
- Contributions should be submitted through http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ijpp. Book reviews should be approximately between 600 and 1,000 words long and should be sent to Cristian Vaccari at cristian.vaccari@rhul.ac.uk.
- Longer articles are about 6,000-8,000 words, focused on original research, and subject to a rigorous process of double blind peer review.
- Shorter articles are about 2,000-3,000 words, covering pedagogy, current events, new developments, or topical controversies.
- Articles submitted to the journal should be original contributions and should not be under consideration for any other publication at the same time; any exceptions should be clearly indicated at the time of submission.
- Manuscripts should be double-spaced throughout, including notes and references. An abstract of no more than 250 words, a short biography of 50-100 words, keywords, and an estimated word count should be included on the front cover sheet. The cover should give the complete address (including telephone, fax, and e-mail) of the author to whom proofs and correspondence should be sent. A style sheet following APSA guidelines is available from the editor.
- References cited in the text should read: (Patterson 1993:63-4) or (Brown and Smith 1985). Use et al. when citing a work by more than two authors: (Brown et al. 1991). Letters (Brown 1990a, 1990b) distinguish citations of different works by the same author in the same year. Please note that newspaper articles, interviews, and personal communications should be cited as endnotes, not references. All references cited in the text should be listed alphabetically and presented in full, double-spaced after the notes, using the following styles:
- Articles in journals:
- Jamieson, Kathleen H. 1993. "The First Amendment is Alive and Well." Political Communication 10(1):3-8.
- Chapters in books:
- McQuail, Denis. 1994. "The Influence and Effects of Mass Media." In Media Power in Politics, ed. Doris A Graber. 3rd Edition. Washington, DC: CQ Press.
- Books:
- Petterson, Thomas E. 1993. Out of Order. New York: Knopf.
- Endnotes presenting explanatory or technical material should be used sparingly. Newspaper articles, interviews, and personal communications should be cited as endnotes. Notes should be indicated by consecutive numbers in the text and printed double-spaced on a page at the end of the text.
- Titles and section heads should be clear and brief. Lengthy quotations (exceeding 40 words) should be displayed, indented double-spaced in the text. American spellings should be used. Indicate italic type by underlining.
- Each table and figure should be printed on a separate sheet at the end. Their space in the text should be indicated by the words [Table X about here]. Tables and figures should have short, descriptive titles. Source(s) should be typed below the tables. Column headings should clearly define the data presented. Camera-ready artwork for all figures must be supplied.
- Permissions: Authors are responsible for obtaining copyright for any illustrations, tables, figures, or lengthy quotations previously published elsewhere.
- Proofs: If accepted for publication, authors will receive proofs of their articles to ensure that the printed version coincides with the manuscript accepted. Articles cannot be rewritten at proof stage. Authors will receive one complimentary copy of the issue.
- Copyright: Before publication, authors are requested to assign copyright to Sage Publications; they retain their right to reuse the material in other publications, written or edited by themselves, with first publication credit to the journal.
