Frequently Asked Questions

Will I see proofs of my article or articles?
No. If the developmental work on an article involved more than routine editing, however, you will be sent the entry (by email) in case you want to check it. Please be assured that the volume editor will review all manuscript in the production phases, during which the manuscripts will also be professionally proofread against the submitted manuscripts.

I did not receive a contract. What should I do?
If you did not receive a contract, please get in touch with us via the project e-mail box: scandinavianculture@taylorandfrancis.com. But please remember: if you have ever received a contract from Routledge that is the only contract you need for this project. The same terms apply. You do not need a new contract or contracts for any additional articles you agreed to write after your initial assignment.

When will The Encyclopedia of Contemporary Scandinavian Culture be published?
The projected publication date is May 2007.

When will authors be paid?
Honoraria are payable upon acceptance by the Volume Editors. Thus you should allow four months after acceptance before contacting us about an honorarium that you have not received.
Please note that we need your current postal address on so that checks and books are sent to your correct address. Please send any change of address to the project e-mail: scandinavianculture@taylorandfrancis.com

When will authors receive complimentary copies?
If your compensation states that you are due a complimentary copy, the order will be placed at about the same time as that for honoraria. Complimentary copies are sent directly from the warehouse, not by our own staff, and so we are not able to track a book's routing. As noted above, we need your current postal address to initiate shipment.

Are offprints of articles available?
No, we are not able to provide offprints.

How should I cite the encyclopedia for a CV, tenure review, or the like?
The Encyclopedia of Contemporary Scandinavian Culture, ed. Helena Forsås Scott and Mary Hilson. New York: Routledge, 2007.
