This list is a work in progress for my own convenience. I'm sharing it with you out of the goodness of my heart. Don't make me regret it. Feel free to comment or contact me to add others. last updated 23/8/24
NB. Journals may change their word counts without my knowledge. Journal word counts usually include footnotes. Some journals claim to be flexible about the word count, I have not tested this. Obviously, if it is important, check with the journal's website/editor directly.
PS. If you are a journal editor, PLEASE make sure this information is easy to access. And if you don't have a word count, state that somewhere early and prominent in your author guidelines.
