TopAuthor Guidelines

Prospective contributors should read these guidelines carefully and follow them as closely as possible.

Journal of Applied Philosophy is a peer reviewed journal. Accepted papers become the copyright of the Society for Applied Philosophy, unless otherwise specifically agreed. Submission of work to Journal of Applied Philosophy is taken to imply that the same manuscript has not been published, and is not under consideration, by any other journal.

Editorial correspondence, including manuscripts for submission should be sent to the Editor:

Suzanne Uniacke
Department of Philosophy
University of Hull
Kingston-upon-Hull HU6 7RX
UK
Email: jap@hull.ac.uk

Articles should normally be no more than 8000 words. Articles that are sent by post can be considered only if three complete copies of each manuscript are submitted. They should be typed on one side of the paper, double-spaced, with ample margins, and bear the title of the contribution. In order to facilitate blind refereeing, the author(s)'s name(s) should not be shown on the manuscript, and all identifying references to the author(s)'s own work(s) or affiliations should, if this is feasible, be masked or omitted. The name(s) of the author(s) with the title of the contribution should be included on a separate page, with the full postal address of the author who will check the proofs and receive correspondence and offprints. Please give address for publication as well if this is different. All pages should be numbered. Please include a word count.

An abstract of 150-200 words should be included. Rejected manuscripts will not normally be returned to contributors unless a self-addressed envelope and sufficient stamps/international postal coupons have been sent. Articles that conform with the above guidelines can be submitted electronically to jap@hull.ac.uk but please remember to put 'paper submission' in the subject box of your email when submitting your paper electronically.

The Editors reserve the right to alter manuscripts wherever necessary to make them conform to the stylistic and bibliographical conventions of the journal.

Notes should be indicated in the text by numbering, 1, 2, 3, etc. superscript. Notes are to include references. Notes and references should then appear in one numbered list as NOTES, at the end of the article. References within the NOTES should appear in the following form:

(Book:) Martha Nussbaum, The Fragility of Goodness (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1987), pp. 32-3.
(Contribution to a collection:) J. F. Childress, 'Mandatory HIV screening and testing' in F. G. Reamer (ed.) AIDS and Ethics (New York: Columbia University Press, 1991), pp. 5-6.
(Journal article:) David Miller, 'In defence of nationality', Journal of Applied Philosophy, 10, 1 (1993): 2-25.

Subsequent references should be of the form 'Miller op. cit.'
Titles of journals should not be abbreviated.

Proofs will be sent to the authors if there is sufficient time to do so. They should be corrected and returned to the Assistant Editor within three days. Major alterations to the text cannot be accepted.

Offprints. Each contributor will receive a PDF offprint of his or her article.

Copyright Assignment Form
Authors will be required to assign copyright in their paper to the Society for Applied Philosophy. Copyright assignment is a condition of publication and papers will not be passed to the publisher for production unless copyright has been assigned. To assist authors an appropriate copyright assignment form will be supplied by the editorial office. Alternatively, authors may like to download a copy of the form here (Government employees need to complete the Author Warranty sections, although copyright in such cases does not need to be assigned).
