Information for Authors
All editorial inquiries should be addressed to:
John Hyman (Editor): bja@queens.ox.ac.uk
or Elisabeth Schellekens (Associate Editor): bja.1@durham.ac.uk
Articles should be submitted using the online submission system. They should be formatted in A4, paginated, double spaced throughout (i.e. including references and quotations), with ample margins. They should not normally exceed 7,500 words. References, quotation marks (N.B. single, not double, for standard quotations), etc. should conform to the recent style of the journal. Long discursive endnotes are discouraged and all notes should be collected at the end of the article. There should not be separate bibliographies but full references given in endnotes. Articles submitted in appropriate form will be refereed blind. Authors will receive proofs but no alterations from the final typescript are permitted in proof. Authors receive free online access to their article and, in addition, have the option of claiming 25 offprints free of charge. Authors may order copies of the issue and further offprints at their own cost.
It is a condition of publication in the Journal that authors assign copyright to the British Society of Aesthetics through Oxford University Press. This ensures that requests from third parties to reproduce articles are handled efficiently and consistently and will also allow the article to be as widely disseminated as possible. In assigning copyright, Authors may use their own material in other publications provided that the Journal is acknowledged as the original place of publication, and Oxford University Press is notified in writing and in advance.

Language Editing
Particularly if English is not your first language, before submitting your manuscript you may wish to have it edited for language. This is not a mandatory step, but may help to ensure that the academic content of your paper is fully understood by journal editors and reviewers. Language editing does not guarantee that your manuscript will be accepted for publication. If you would like information about one such service please click here. There are other specialist language editing companies that offer similar services and you can also use any of these. Authors are liable for all costs associated with such services.
