Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.

  • The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).

  • The submission file is in Open Office, Microsoft Word, RTF, or WordPerfect document file format.

  • The text adheres to the requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines, which is found in About.

  • The text, if submitted to a peer-reviewed section (e.g., Articles), has had the authors' names removed. If an author is cited, "Author" and year are used in the bibliography and footnotes, instead of author's name, paper title, etc. The author's name has also been removed from the document's Properties, which in Microsoft Word is found in the File menu.

Author Guidelines

Submitted papers must be original and written in English, Spanish or Catalan and should not be longer than 10.000 words. They should contain a title, an abstract (of no more than 100 words) and some keywords in English and in the language of the paper, if different from English. A list of all references cited in the text will appear at the end. The text must be prepared for blind peer refereeing.

The articles in the “Philosophical Compass” section and the Discussion Notes will follow these same guidelines, except for the length, which will be 15,000 words in the case of the former and around 4,000 in the case of the latter. Reviews will be around 2,500 words long.

For submission of the initial version, authors are free to use their preferred format and quotation system. If the paper is accepted for publication, authors will be requested to prepared a final version that must be in accordance with the syle sheet of the journal, which follows APA Citation Output.

As more important indications, it should be noted that bibliographic citations follow the model of parentheses inserted in the text, as follows:

  •  As Long (2019,65) has argued...
  • As some author has defended (Long 2019, 65)...

At the end of the text, the list of the cited works will be ordered alphabetically by the author's last name, putting the year of publication after the last name and initial of the first name, preceded by a comma. If several works by the same author/s are cited, the last name and initial of the first name will be repeated, and if they were from the same year, a letter (a, b, c, etc.) will be added to the repeated year.

 

Co-authored articles must include a footnote explaining the contribution of each author and the criteria followed to order their names. 

All authors are requested to include information regarding sources of funding and (financial or non-financial) conflicts of interests. The omission of such information could lead to non-publication or deletion of the text.
