Aims and Scope
Body & Society is a rigorously peer reviewed international journal that
publishes innovative research and review articles on a range of topics
which cross the boundaries between the social sciences and the
humanities.
NOTES FOR CONTRIBUTORS
Body & Society Manuscript Central Website
Body & Society is now edited and refereed electronically. This means that authors and referees must submit manuscripts or obtain articles to referee via the Body & Society Manuscript Central website. This involves going to the site at:
http:/mc.manuscriptcentral.com/bod
Preparation of Manuscripts
1. Authors should submit their manuscript, along with an abstract of 250 words.
2. Authors should also provide 3-7 keywords. The keyword must be selected from the keyword list available on the B&S Manuscript Central website and need to be keyed in separately in the appropriate field when the article is uploaded. The keywords are essential in helping editors select referees from our referees' database. If you have difficulty matching keywords, or have suggestions on ones to be added, please let us know.
3. To protect anonymity, please make sure that you do not include your name anywhere within the main document (e.g. as a running head or at the end).
4. The article should begin with a separate cover page bearing only the title.
5. The number and length of notes should be strictly limited. They should be numbered serially and included at the end of the text prior to the references section.
6. Please make sure you insert page numbers into your manuscript.
Format of References in the Text
Identify all references to books, monographs, articles and other sources at an appropriate point in the main text by author's last name, year of publication, and pagination where appropriate, all within parentheses. Specify subsequent citations of the same source similarly - do not use ibid., op cit. or loc. cit.
If the author's name is in the text, use only the year of publication in parentheses:
Lash (2001)
If the author's name is not in the text, include both the author's name and year of publication separated by a comma within the parentheses:
(Bauman, 1999)
Pagination follows year:
(Beck, 2002: 31-2)
With dual authorship, give both names; for three or more use 'et al':
(Hardt and Negri (2000) and (Bennett et al., 1986)
If there is more than one reference to the same author and year, distinguish between them by use of letters a, b etc. attached to year of publication:

semicolons:
(Bourdieu, 1984; Dimaggio, 1987; Lamont, 1988)
