Submit Papers

Screen uses the Manuscript Central online submission system. Many readers will already be familiar with this method, but for those who are not, it will in essence mean that manuscripts are submitted through the Manuscript Central website, and thereafter all communications between editorial office, author and peer reviewers will be channelled through, and logged by, the system.

Authors are guided through the submission procedure with onscreen prompts and instructions; however, if you experience any difficulties or have any comments to make about using Manuscript Central, please contact our editorial office.

To use Manuscript Central, first set up a user account on the homepage at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/screen. Confirmation of your username and password will then be sent out to you, after which you can log in and submit your manuscript and related documents following the onscreen instructions.

Manuscripts should not exceed 10,000 words, excluding footnotes (see footnotes style). Please note that Screen style does not allow for the use of subheadings, although section breaks are permitted where required. The use of introductory quotations or epigraphs is also discouraged.

Submission of a manuscript is taken by the Editors to imply that the paper represents original work not previously published and not under consideration for publication, elsewhere; and if accepted for publication that it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in any language, without the consent of the Editors and Publisher. The author should obtain the necessary permissions to include in the paper copyright material such as illustrations, extended quotations, etc.

Authors whose work is published in Screen will receive one free copy of the journal issue and, if requested, 25 offprints of their contribution. Republication in an anthology or collection of an author’s own work is freely permissible, with due credit to Screen. Republication otherwise requires the permission of the publisher and the author. For information on permissions, visit http://www.oxfordjournals.org/access_purchase/rights_permissions.html

Please note Screen does not accept unsolicited book reviews or conference reports.
