Become an author

The Encyclopaedia is based on authored entries of approximately 1,000-1,500 words including bibliography. We are looking for contributors who have done primary, if not pioneering research of aspects of informality.

Guidelines for Entries

Each entry should focus on a single practice (preferably named in colloquial way) and analyse at least some of the following aspects:

  • Local name of the informal practice;
  • Definition, etymology and its translation into other languages;
  • How widely is it used?;
  • In which countries/regions/sectors is it spread?;
  • Identify analogous practices, named differently in different countries (if possible);
  • How does it relate to other informal practices (discuss similarities and differences if possible);
  • What are the implications of the chosen practice for politics/economy/ society?;
  • Which method was or can be used for researching this practice?;
  • Give examples of the practice;
  • How can the practice be measured?
  • Please cross-reference and recommend readings.

Style

Entries should be aimed at a non-specialist audience, including non-academics. Entries should be written in British English in encyclopaedic style. Please use simple and straightforward language and avoid the use of the first person pronoun.

Entry header

  • Please list the name and location of the practice, author’s name and institution at the top of the document, in the exact format you wish it to appear, e.g.:
Blat
Russia
Alena V. Ledeneva
School of Slavonic and East European Studies, University College London
  • Please include with your submission an email address where you will be most easily contacted throughout the duration of the project.
  • Include between 5 and 10 keywords that best describe the practice.
  • Include a short, one-sentence definition of the practice.

Illustrations

  • If applicable, please attach up to two images illustrating the practice. We prefer images that are your own work or not subject to copyright.
  • Please attach photographs or other media as a separate file and do not insert them in the text document.
  • Provide captions for all the pictures as well as the source of the material (author, website address, literature citation) and the name of the copyright holder (e.g. 'Exchanging favours in Russia. Source: Photo by author. © Alena Ledeneva.').

Formatting

  • Use single inverted commas and quotation marks, do not use double quotes, e.g. ‘informal’, NOT “informal”.
  • Write percentages out in full, e.g. 6 per cent, NOT 6% or 6 percent.
  • Write centuries out in full, e.g. nineteenth century NOT 19th century. Decades can be written numerically, e.g. ‘during the 1920s’.
  • Non-English words, including the name of the practice, should appear in italics.
  • Do not use headings or footnotes.

Referencing format

  • In-text referencing should appear in parentheses, in the form (Surname Year: page number), e.g. (Smith 2014: 31-5). Please do not put a comma between the author and the year.
  • The list of references should only contain items included in the text.
