Sex Education: Sexuality, Society and Learning is an international refereed journal concerned both with the practice of sex education and with the thinking that underpins it.

Contributions are welcomed from within a variety of academic disciplines - particularly health education, sociology, philosophy and psychology - and from a variety of ideological standpoints. Submitted work should connect significantly with issues concerned with sex education and have presumptions made by the author(s) described and defended. Sex Education: Sexuality, Society and Learning does not assume that sex education takes place only in educational institutions and the family. Contributions are therefore welcomed which, for example, analyse the impacts of media and other vehicles of culture on sexual behaviour and attitudes. Medical and epidemiological papers (e.g. of trends in the incidences of sexually transmitted infections) will not be accepted unless their educational implications are discussed adequately.

The bulk of each issue will consist of papers mostly of between 4000 and 7000 words. These will include research reports (empirical and theoretical), reviews, proposals for curriculum practice, historical articles and papers that address methodological issues. Most papers will be printed in normal word format but submissions containing links to web sites with visual and auditory material are welcomed. Relevant books, curriculum materials (including software and videos), conferences, films, exhibitions and even sporting events and architecture will be reviewed. Letters to the editor are also acceptable.

Electronic submission is strongly encouraged (If submitting in paper format, submit three complete copies). On the first page, give the title of the paper, the names, postal addresses and e-mail addresses of each author and a short title for use as a running head should the paper be accepted. Indicate which author is responsible for all communications concerning the submission and state the total number of words in the paper (including the abstract and references). Do not include author information on any page except this first one.

On the second page, give the title of the paper and provide an abstract of between 100 and 200 words. Papers will normally be published in English but the abstract may be in any language. Ensure that the entire manuscript (including references) is typed double-spaced with wide margins (at least 2.5 cm) on one or both sides of paper. Number all pages.

Include tables and figures on separate sheets rather than within the text. Within the text, refer to tables as Table 1, Table 2, etc. and to figures as Figure 1, Figure 2, etc.. Figures will not be redrawn by the publisher. Do not submit original artwork until the paper is accepted as rejected manuscripts will not be returned.
