Accessible Content
These guidelines are intended for authors, contributing editors and those who wish to learn more about accessible publishing and descriptions for assistive technologies at Taylor & Francis. Authors and Editors are not required to submit image descriptions to Taylor & Francis but are encouraged to learn more about the importance of image descriptions, which Taylor & Francis will create for every book we publish. If an author would like to submit image descriptions, please reach out to your Editorial Assistant.
A digital “accessible” text is one that provides equal opportunity to all readers, including those with visual or print impairments. Taylor & Francis is committed to the supply of accessible content, ensuring as many readers as possible have access to the content we publish. Accessible descriptions are a key component of Taylor & Francis publications, including image and figure descriptions, audio descriptions and transcripts. This site provides examples of Alternative Text (‘alt text’) and Long Descriptions for images and figures across a range of Taylor & Francis subject areas.
