Contributions are invited relating to the characteristics of the third sector or any aspect of its management, including governance, human resource management, the labour market, financial management, strategic management and managing change, community development, fund-raising, user rights, relations with government, legal issues, historical development, etc.

The journal is explicitly cross-disciplinary, with both theoretical and empirical papers invited from a range of disciplines and fields of practice. Critiques of existing theory or practice are invited. Contributions are encouraged from both practitioners and academics. There is a special 'From the Field' section.

Papers should be written in a jargon-free, non technical style accessible to managers, workers and board members of non-profit organisations and to academic researchers, teachers and students from a variety of disciplines.

Papers are subject to rigorous peer review, normally by two independent reviewers. A blind review process is adopted. For that reason, authors should indicate their names and affiliations on a separate page. Please included a brief (100 words) abstract.

Papers should be between 4,000 and 6,000 words in length, double spaced in Times New Roman, 12pt, with 2.5 cm margins. Please use minimal formatting and styles; indicate headings through the use of capitals, bold and italics.

Quotations: where more than 40 words, these are indented, justified, set in italics, with the source following directly. Single quotation marks are used throughout the text, with double quotation marks needed within the single.

Citations: the Harvard style of referencing is used, with endnotes kept to a minimum. Examples: (Lyons 1999) (Lyons 1999:20) (Lyons 1998a, 1998b) (Onyx and Bullen 1998); if 3 authors or more - (McDonald et al. 1998); for multiple references list them is ascending chronological order.

References: these are listed in alphabetical order by author's name; multiple references by a specific author are listed chronologically, the earliest first, with author's name repeated. Please follow these examples, including the punctuation and capitalisation.
