If a manuscript is accepted for publication, exclusive copyright is assigned to S&S Quarterly, Inc. No limitation is placed on the freedom of authors to use the same material in subsequently published work, with acknowledgment of the original place of publication. Reproduction of material from Science & Society exclusively for classroom use, distributed gratis or at cost to students, is hereby approved. This text may be used in confirmation of this approval for purposes of compliance with copyright law.

 

Manuscripts in all submission categories -- articles, review articles, communications, and book reviews -- must be submitted electronically. Authors should save their manuscripts as Word documents (*.docx) for this purpose.

Text must be double spaced, with normal (default) margins.  Quoted passages of more than one sentence must be presented as extract quotes: separated from the main text by one extra line above and below, and set one type size lower than the main text, with 1.5 spacing.

Science & Society uses American English spelling and punctuation.  No "labour" but "labor," no "organisation" but "organization," etc. Use double quotation marks (“ ”) to enclose primary quotations and single quotation marks (‘ ’) for quotations within quotations. Authors are encouraged to consult the Chicago Manual of Style for details.

Hyphens (the short dash: “-”) should be used with compound words or modifiers: “mother-in-law”, “labor-power”, “tax-free”. Also for word breaks at the end of a line or to connect prefixes or suffixes in some contexts: “trans-national” (when used to emphasize the “national”). En dashes (the slightly longer dash: “–”) should be used for ranges or spans: “1995–1998”, “New York–Beijing flight”, etc. Em dashes (the longest dash: “—”) are to be used when a thought is interrupted or broken: “The peace broke out—finally.” Also for parenthetical or explanatory phrases: “While proponents argue that market socialism—through its retention of the allocative function of markets—preserves the efficiency …”

Footnotes (numbered consecutively) should be used sparingly, and only for substantive material whose inclusion in the body of the text would be distracting. References in the text follow the "author-date" system, described in detail in the Chicago Manual of Style (latest edition). Examples, drawn from S&S, follow.

In the text:

“This insistent focus on Western assumptions about racial hierarchy underlies Losurdo’s call for re-periodizing modern global history” (Foley 2026, 151).

“. . .democratic alternative to economic decline” (BGW 1983).

Submissions are reviewed in four categories:

A)	Articles, normally not exceeding 10,000 words in length.
B)	Communications, 3,000 words in length, usually written as responses to previously published articles or as contributions to on-going discussions.
C)	Review articles, 3,000 words in length. The decision to submit in this category is based on a belief that the book(s), films, exhibits, or performances in question merit treatment at greater length than is allowed for reviews (category D), and on a commitment to provide references and background information.
D)	Reviews, not exceeding 1,200 words. While we accept unsolicited reviews, potential reviewers are urged to consult with the Editor before undertaking the writing of a review. It should be understood that all reviews are refereed, and publication is not automatic. Book reviews do not have footnotes or references. We reserve the right to make cuts in review manuscripts that exceed the stated length.
