Submitting your Article

Authors can now submit additional or updated entries for the Encyclopedia to the Managing Editor (Mike Ryan) and the Editor (George Ritzer) using this website. The original submission facility is being reused for creating these additional and updated entries.

To gain access to the relevant areas of the submission site you will need to login with your email address and a password. You will receive an automated email confirming your login details when you have been assigned to a specific headword within the submission site by the Managing Editor.

This intial email will contain a link to your entry (as will all subsequent emails your receive). Please use this link to go to your Headword Details page. Alternatively you can use the Search facility to locate the Headword Details page. Please ensure you are logged in to the site.

The Headword Details page contains:

• general information about the headword (including progress tracking),
• contact information for the relevant Managing Editors as well as Technical Support,
• your contact details (with an option to update them),
• an area where you will be able to upload versions of your manuscript (and artwork).

You will be able to upload text and images for the First Draft of your manuscript. The Managing Editor will upload a Final Draft version on your behalf.

Your Editor will be notified automatically when new content is submitted.

First Draft
Once you have written your article you will be required to submit a First Draft to the Managing Editor within the Submission section of the website. Upon submission the First Draft will become locked while your Managing Editor reviews it. If major revisions are required, the Managing Editor will ask you to modify your entry accordingly and to submit it to them directly by email - not via the website. If only minor changes are required the Managing Editor will make these for you.

Final Draft
Once any required changes have been made to the First Draft and have been approved by the Editor, the Managing Editor will upload this version as a Final Draft after which it will be passed to the Publisher for copy editing, typesetting and adding to the online version. You will receive confirmation by email that your Final Draft has been approved and uploaded.

If you want to upload corrected content for a previously submitted draft version that is locked you should contact the Managing Editor. An email link to the relevant Managing Editor is available on the Headword Details page as well as the Contacts page.
