The Journal of Cultural Economy has a broad interdisciplinary and international mandate. Published articles generally fall within two categories: Research Articles, and Reviews and Commentaries. Additionally we publish guest edited Special Issues and Themed Sections. The editorial team are also open to suggestions from authors who are keen to explore how to share their research using other media and formats.
Research articles
The journal accepts article submissions for peer review that demonstrate conceptual innovation based on original and rigorous empirical research. The work should also demonstrate a sustained engagement with the clearly defined set of scholarly literatures or debates that can be found within the journal’s previously published work. We rarely, if ever, publish quantitative research based on large dataset and complex econometric and statistical analysis. Please check that you work meets this criteria before submitting.
Manuscript preparation
Detailed information on how to prepare your manuscript can be found here. This should be consulted before submission. The most important requirements are as follows:
- Manuscripts are accepted in English.
- A typical manuscript will not exceed 10,000 words, including notes and references (but this is not a hard and fast rule).
- Manuscripts are uploaded using the publisher’s submission portal.
- Please ensure that the main document you upload is fully anonymised.
- Please also upload a separate file containing brief (2-4 sentence) biographical details of each author. This will save time if/when your article is accepted for publication.
Manuscript submission
Authors submit their manuscripts online using the Taylor and Francis Submission portal. Manuscripts should be submitted here.
Special Issue & Themed Section proposals
The journal welcomes proposals for Special Issues and Themed Sections. Guidelines on how this can be found in this article, which includes a sample proposal. Special issue proposals are peer reviewed by the Editorial Board. If proposals are accepted, guest editors are responsible for the review process of the relevant papers, with oversight from the editorial team. All submissions are treated as Research Articles and subject to double blind review.
Reviews and Commentaries Section
The journal also welcomes submissions to its Reviews and Commentaries Section: single-book reviews, multi-book review essays, and other, more creative suggestions. A submission guide and style checklist can be found here (pdf). Please contact our Reviews and Commentaries Editor for more information; we strongly recommend that you reach out and make a proposal to the Editor before submitting anything.
