broader intellectual, institutional and historical context of SRT theory and explain why the paper/chapter is significant. They may also choose to review controversies around a particular paper or concept discussed and/or consider the value of the paper with reference to research, including their own research. However the discussion must be primarily concerned with the chosen paper/chapter. It is possible that people may choose the same paper to comment on and this will create an interesting debate as we can publish multiple commentaries on the same reading. As there are an extensive number of papers to choose from we shall only select the most thoughtful and insightful commentaries, that speak to the general aims of PSR. Commentaries should be no longer than 4000 words. All commentaries must be submitted in English. Please be mindful to write clearly. If accepted the commentary may also appear in another language alongside the English version (if the commentator chooses to submit another version). Where possible we shall also publish the discussed journal paper/book chapter, ideally in English (this means that the commentator may need to translate it). Again, where possible and appropriate the original paper/chapter may also appear in another language. All questions about this should be sent to the PSR editor. We shall celebrate the launch of this special issue at an anniversary conference at the LSE next year. 2012 is also the 20th anniversary of PSR, so the conference shall mark 20 years of Papers on Social Representations, 50 years of SRT research and the publication of this special issue. The authors of the accepted papers and leaders in the field will be invited to participate. The conference date is 2223 March 2012. The deadline for commentaries is 31st August 2011. Please send commentaries to
