Please contact Ally Souster (ally@uksg.org) for a copy of the Notes for Contributors or see www.uksg.org/sites/uksg.org/files/notesforcontributors-full%2009/pdf
In the first instance the editors (Lorraine Estelle and Steve Sharp) invite you to submit an abstract of 150 words by Monday 28th February 2011. Please email this, along with the author details, to ally@uksg.org. Abstracts will be reviewed by the international Serials editorial board and authors whose abstracts are accepted will be invited to write up articles in April with final manuscripts of between 2,000 and 3,000 words due on 18th July 2011. Please note all submissions will be subject to blind peer review and may be rejected if they are deemed unsuitable or too close in subject matter to another accepted article.
Authors should note that Serials may seek commercial sponsorship to enable as many papers as possible to be made open access.
Should authors not wish to have their articles sponsored by a commercial organisation, please tell the Editors on submission of your abstract.
