Since its launch in 1987, Textual Practice has been Britain’s principal international journal of radical literary studies, continually pressing theory into new engagements. Today, as customary relations among disciplines and media are questioned and transformed, Textual Practice works at the turning points of theory with politics, history and texts. It is intrigued by the processes through which hitherto marginal cultures of ethnicity and sexuality are becoming conceptually central, and by the consequences of these diverse disturbances for educational and cultural institutions.
Peer Review Policy: All peer review is double anonymous and submissions are typically reviewed by two referees. Turning Points are commissioned and subject to editorial screening.
You cannot ignore TP. Its international cast of contributors, well-known and new, engages today’s theoretical and practical debates from the roots of modernity into post-modernism, from the politics of sexual preference, to the future of the Left, from literature to activism, with the lines crossing and re-crossing.’
- Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, Professor of English and Comparative Literature, Columbia University
'Textual Practice contains some of the most path-breaking, adventurous critical writing currently to be found in Britain'
- Terry Eagleton, University of Manchester, UK

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors
who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication.
However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s
quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it
should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to
support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside
other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its
readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In
addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and
never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
Usage and acceptance rate data above are for the last full calendar year
and are updated annually in February. Speed data is updated every six
months, based on the prior six months. Citation metrics are updated
annually mid-year. Please note that some journals do not display all of
the following metrics
(find out why).
Usage:
the total number of times articles in the journal were viewed by users
of Taylor & Francis Online in the previous calendar year, rounded to the
nearest thousand.
