Bulletin of the John Rylands University Library

Editorial policy

The Bulletin publishes methodological, interpretative or substantive articles in any subject area from the arts and social studies (understood in the broadest possible sense) and on the historical or philosophical aspects of the natural and physical sciences. In selecting contributions, special interest will always be shown in those which are of an inter-disciplinary nature and/or which incorporate the results of research on the extensive collections of The John Rylands University Library. One of the three issues in each volume is devoted to a particular theme, and the General Editor will be pleased to receive suggestions about possible themes, guest editors and individual authors for such issues.

It should be noted that all articles accepted for publication in the Bulletin are read and critically assessed by at least one accredited scholar in the appropriate field. For further information please contact the General Editor, Dr D.J. Clayton at the following address:
