Permissions-: Articles accepted, published or submitted for publication elsewhere cannot be considered. If an article contains material reproduced from other sources (including illustrations), the necessary written permission from the author(s) or source must be secured prior to publication. In other words, all figures, tables, charts, and other artwork should be submitted and must be cited in the text with appropriate descriptive headings. All artwork must also be submitted in high-resolution electronic form. (High-resolution images should come in a separate file from the manuscript). We suggest that you should obtain a grant of permission in case you have used any copyrighted element or portion of text/figures (especially) in your journal article.

Before publication, authors are requested to assign copyright to Sage; they retain their right to reuse material in other publications, written or edited by themselves, with first publication credit to the journal.

OnlineFirst-: Journal of Planning History offers OnlineFirst, by which forthcoming articles are published online before they are scheduled to appear in print. OnlineFirst is a feature offered through SAGE's electronic journal platform, SAGE Journals. It allows final revision articles (completed articles in queue for assignment to an upcoming issue) to be hosted online prior to their inclusion in a final print and online journal issue. This feature is commonly referred to as publish ahead of print. Access to full-text OnlineFirst articles are only available to paid subscribers or through a site license. OnlineFirst provides clear benefits to all researchers and users of the journal's online content.

The feature allows subscribers and members the ability to access the very latest papers in the field. Authors also benefit from greatly reduced lead times between submission and publication of articles. Without OnlineFirst, an author's work would only appear online once a finalized issue was sent to print. However, with OnlineFirst, manuscripts can appear online while other articles are being completed for an upcoming issue.

Each OnlineFirst manuscript is citable using the date of the manuscript's first online posting and the Digital Object Identifiers (DOI). Once an OnlineFirst article is assigned to its final issue and given its bibliographic data, such as volume, issue, and first page number, the hosting of the article online transitions from the OnlineFirst listing to that of the completed issue.

Supplemental Online Material-: Authors are free to submit certain types of supplemental material for online-only publication. If the manuscript is accepted for publication, such material will be published online on the publisher’s web site, linked to the article.

Authors who would like to refine the use of English in their manuscripts might consider using the services of a professional English-language editing company. We highlight some of these companies at http://www.sagepub.com/journalgateway/engLang.htm.

Please be aware that SAGE has no affiliation with these companies and makes no endorsement of them. An author's use of these services in no way guarantees that his or her submission will ultimately be accepted. Any arrangement an author enters into will be exclusively between the author and the particular company, and any costs incurred are the sole responsibility of the author.
