Editorial Board Members needed for British Journal of Guidance & Counselling

The aim of the British Journal of Guidance & Counselling is to publish work that sets trends and provokes fresh thought and innovation in the practice and understanding of counselling, psychotherapy and career guidance. The journal seeks to communicate, enrich and advance theory, research, policy and practice in these fields. As an international journal, the British Journal of Guidance & Counselling provides a high quality platform to authors from across the globe, and from diverse cultural backgrounds and disciplines. Manuscripts are published under three broad headings: (a) counselling and psychotherapy, (b) career counselling and career development in particular and (c) cross-disciplinary issues relevant to counselling, psychotherapy and career services. We welcome theoretical and empirical papers relating to the practice of counselling, psychotherapy and career services, and allied fields. Research papers may use quantitative, qualitative or mixed methods and may range in scope from large-scale surveys to individual case studies, with samples drawn from a broad variety of contexts. Of special interest are incisive reviews of literature, novel conceptualisation of relevant phenomena, critique and advancement of theory and practice, the use of unusual methods, work with under-studied populations and empirical findings that can point to new directions. Policy papers and special articles under the headings ‘Interview’ and ‘In Practice’ are also sought. In addition, the journal publishes frequent symposia focusing on areas of particular interest. Critical engagement with relevant concepts and literature is required for all submissions. Discussion of the implications and recommendations for practice of (at least one of) counselling/psychotherapy, career or other forms of guidance, advice or support work and mental health care are important to ensure relevance to this journal. The editorial team consists of two Co-Editors, who divide responsibility for the counselling/psychotherapy, career guidance and cross-disciplinary papers according to their specialism. Two Symposium Editors oversee special editions of the journal that focus on a particular topic through an invited series of related papers, and who work in conjunction with Guest Editors appointed for their expertise for that specific edition. All manuscripts are considered on the strict condition that they have been submitted only to the British Journal of Guidance & Counselling and that they have not been published already, nor are they under consideration for publication or in press elsewhere. Contributions must report original work, regardless of whether it is a research, policy, practice or conceptual article. Please note that this journal only publishes manuscripts in English. Peer Review Integrity Taylor & Francis is committed to peer-review integrity and upholding the highest standards of review. Manuscript submissions are subject to initial appraisal by the relevant editor (for regular papers by one of the Co-Editors, for symposium issues by a Symposium Editor or a Guest Editor). If found suitable for further consideration, all papers are then submitted to peer review by independent expert referees. All peer review is double anonymized and submission is online via the link on the journal homepage. If you have shared an earlier version of your Author’s Original Manuscript on a preprint server, please be aware that anonymity cannot be guaranteed.
