Author Guidelines
Length and Type of Submission
Articles should aim for a target length of 7,000 to 12,000 words.Book reviews, which are commissioned, should be between 1,000 and 2,000 words. These will be published on an ongoing basis in a section of the journal separate from the twice yearly issues.
Other types of submissions, for example review essays, comments or critical notes, conference and seminar reports should be discussed with the editors in advance of submission. We are very happy to discuss any paper at abstract stage, although an invitation to submit does not in anyway guarantee publication.
Foucault Studies cannot consider submissions which are under review elsewhere.
Style
Papers should be typed, 12 point Palatino Linotype, single-spaced, with justified paragraph: they should conform to the latest edition of the Chicago Manual of Style.See these two sites for how to apply Chicago Style:
Chicago Manual of Style Citation Guide
Chicago/Turabian Documentation
Please avoid double returns (blank lines) between paragraphs, Instead, indent the first line of each paragraph.
Use only one space (not double spaces) between sentences.
Please leave tabs at default settings.
Papers should be in English. Pictures, diagrams and maps should appear in the text at the relevant place. Embedded web links to other material - for example video or audio files - are acceptable, but these cannot be hosted on the Foucault Studies website itself. Anonymous papers are required with no mention of the author's name or affiliation appearing. Acknowledgements and references to the author's own work should be removed for the duration of the review process.
Procedure
Initial submission should be via email attachment to the Journal Administrator, Ms. Ditte Vilstrup Holmfsa.lpf@cbs.dk
The editors will then look at the piece and discuss review strategy.
Please submit a paper in Microsoft Word format or as a Rich Text File (rtf). Please ensure that any files submitted are entirely free from viruses and similar. We will delete such files as we discover them.
Please include your full academic or other affiliation, a brief biographical note and your postal address with your submission.
We reserve the right not to send unsuitable papers to review. We may request printed copies of the submission. Standard procedure is for the paper to be blind-reviewed by two referees, with a third reviewer or member of the editorial advisory board utilised to adjudicate where necessary. No paper submitted should be under consideration elsewhere, nor be submitted elsewhere while under review with Foucault Studies.

Call for cover art
If you would like to submit a cover for Foucault Studies please send your proposal to to the Journal Administrator, Ditte Vilstrup Holmfsa.lpf@cbs.dk
Over the years Foucault has inspired the work of a number of artists. The journal would like to continue to feature a different cover for each issue. As Foucault Studies is a non profit and free journal, we can't offer any money, but we can offer extensive international exposure for your work. People initially visiting the site will arrive straight at the cover, before entering the site. The cover will also appear on the front contents page of the site. Details of the artist will be included on this page as well. When each issue is archived the cover art will be archived as well.
The specifications for the cover are as follows:
Must be related to Foucault, i.e. be any kind of visual rendering of either Foucault himself or be inspired by some aspect of his work. Creative departures from Foucault's ideas are welcome.
The words Foucault Studies must appear on the cover.
The size must be 320 x 490 pixels and the file in either a gif or a jpeg format (preferably jpeg).
The issue number should also appear on the cover. This can be discussed after submission of the work.
Submission Preparation Checklist
As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.
- The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
- The submission file is in Microsoft Word, RTF, or WordPerfect document file format.
- All URL addresses in the text (e.g., http://pkp.sfu.ca) are activated and ready to click.
- The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
- The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines, which is found in About the Journal.
- The text, if submitted to a peer-reviewed section (e.g., Articles), has had the authors' names removed. If an author is cited, "Author" and year are used in the bibliography and footnotes, instead of author's name, paper title, etc. The author's name has also been removed from the document's Properties, which in Microsoft Word is found in the File menu.
Copyright Notice

Authors are equally responsible for all copyright permissions, and are liable for the content of their work. Sexist, racist, ageist, homophobic and libellous language is not acceptable.
