1. General guidelines
↑Back to top.
- Manuscripts are accepted in English. Any consistent spelling and punctuation styles may be used. Please use single quotation marks, except where ‘a quotation is “within” a quotation’. Long quotations of 40 words or more should be indented with quotation marks.
- Manuscripts should be compiled in the following order: title page; abstract; keywords; main text; acknowledgements; references; appendices (as appropriate); table(s) with caption(s) (on individual pages); figure caption(s) (as a list).
- Abstracts of 200 words are required for all manuscripts submitted.
- Each manuscript should have to keywords.
- Search engine optimization (SEO) is a means of making your article more visible to anyone who might be looking for it. Please consult our guidance here.
- Section headings should be concise and numbered sequentially, using a decimal system for subsections.
- All authors of a manuscript should include their full names, affiliations, postal addresses, telephone numbers and email addresses on the cover page of the manuscript. One author should be identified as the corresponding author. Please give the affiliation where the research was conducted. If any of the named co-authors moves affiliation during the peer review process, the new affiliation can be given as a footnote. Please note that no changes to affiliation can be made after the manuscript is accepted. Please note that the email address of the corresponding author will normally be displayed in the article PDF (depending on the journal style) and the online article.
- All persons who have a reasonable claim to authorship must be named in the manuscript as co-authors; the corresponding author must be authorized by all co-authors to act as an agent on their behalf in all matters pertaining to publication of the manuscript, and the order of names should be agreed by all authors.
- Biographical notes on contributors are not required for this journal.
- Please supply all details required by any funding and grant-awarding bodies as an Acknowledgement on the title page of the manuscript, in a separate paragraph, as follows:
- For single agency grants: "This work was supported by the [Funding Agency] under Grant [number xxxx]."
- For multiple agency grants: "This work was supported by the [Funding Agency 1] under Grant [number xxxx]; [Funding Agency 2] under Grant [number xxxx]; and [Funding Agency 3] under Grant [number xxxx]."
- Authors must also incorporate a Disclosure Statement which will acknowledge any financial interest or benefit they have arising from the direct applications of their research.
- For all manuscripts non-discriminatory language is mandatory. Sexist or racist terms must not be used.
- Authors must adhere to SI units. Units are not italicised.
- When using a word which is or is asserted to be a proprietary term or trade mark, authors must use the symbol ® or TM.
- Notes on tables and figures Artwork submitted for publication will not be returned and will be destroyed after publication, unless you request otherwise. Whilst every care is taken of artwork, neither the Editor nor Taylor & Francis shall bear any responsibility or liability for non-return, loss, or damage of artwork, nor for any associated costs or compensation. You are strongly advised to insure appropriately.

- Tables and figures should be referred to in text as follows: Figure 1, Table 1. 'As seen in Table [or Figure] 1 ...' (not Tab., fig. or Fig).
- The place at which a table or figure is to be inserted in the printed text should be indicated clearly on a manuscript: [Insert table 2 about here]
- Each table and/or figure must have a title that explains its purpose without reference to the text. All figures and tables must be on separate pages and not embedded in the text.
- All figures should allow for reduction to column width (130 mm) or page width (160mm). Please avoid figures that would require landscape reproduction, i.e., reading from bottom to top of the page.
- Do not type the caption to a figure on that figure; the legends to any illustrations must be typed separately following the main text and should be grouped together.
- Acknowledgements Any acknowledgements authors wish to make should be included in a separate section at the end of the manuscript.

5. Reproduction of copyright material
↑Back to top.
If you wish to include any material in your manuscript in which you do not hold copyright, you must obtain written permission from the copyright owner, prior to submission. Such material may be in the form of text, data, table, illustration, photograph, line drawing, audio clip, video clip, film still, and screenshot, and any supplemental material you propose to include. This applies to direct (verbatim or facsimile) reproduction as well as “derivative reproduction” (where you have created a new figure or table which derives substantially from a copyrighted source).
You must ensure appropriate acknowledgement is given to the permission granted to you for reuse by the copyright holder in each figure or table caption. You are solely responsible for any fees which the copyright holder may charge for reuse.
The reproduction of short extracts of text, excluding poetry and song lyrics, for the purposes of criticism may be possible without formal permission on the basis that the quotation is reproduced accurately and full attribution is given.

Accepted Manuscripts Online (AMO)
↑Back to top.
Liquid Crystals Reviews publishes manuscripts online as rapidly as possible, as a PDF of the final, accepted (but unedited and uncorrected) manuscript, normally three working days after receipt at Taylor & Francis. The posted file is clearly identified as an unedited manuscript that has been accepted for publication. No changes will be made to the content of the original manuscript for the AMO version. Following copy-editing, typesetting, and review of the resulting proof the final corrected version (the Version of Record [VoR]), will be published, replacing the AMO version. The VoR will be placed into an issue of Liquid Crystals Reviews. Both the AMO version and VoR can be cited using the doi (digital object identifier). Please ensure that you return the signed copyright form immediately, and return corrections within 48 hours of receiving proofs to avoid delay to the publication of your article.
