Information for ContributorsGuidelines for contributors Presentation and submission of copy
A note on readability and referencesPapers should as far as possible have an aesthetic dimension — they should be attractive to read, and be accessible to the informed lay reader. Writers for whom English is not the first language are advised to have the papers edited and proofed by an experienced English language speaker and writer. References should be meticulous but sparing, and limited to substantiating the central content — the journal is not a thesis for examination, with the writer's knowledge paraded for approval. Footnotes are discouraged — if the material is substantive, it should be in the main text; if it is digressive, it should be cut. A note on ethics Contributors should be sensitive to the ethical implications of their contributions. Any ethical dilemmas within the work should be acknowledged and highlighted. For your reference, here are the websites of the ethics policies of two Educational Research Associations: The journal will not publish approvingly (i.e. without editorial comment) accounts of work that may have dubious ethical provenance, or that might be subject to litigation. However, the journal is not an ethical gatekeeper, and exists to disseminate a diversity of practice, to encourage cultural diversity and to stimulate debate — including debate on ethical issues within artistic and creative education. Guidelines for reviews

Contributors should be aware of and highlight any ethical dilemmas within their work. However, the journal is not an ethical gatekeeper, and exists to disseminate a diversity of practice, to encourage cultural diversity and to stimulate debate — including debate on ethical issues within artistic and creative education.
