INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS

BASIC GUIDELINES

We welcome all kinds of submissions that comply with the orientation of the journal as defined in the Mission Statement: scholarly articles, notes, discussions, editions, book reviews, etc. Papers can be written from either historical or systematic perspective, but should at least tangentially relate to either scholasticism or analytical philosophy, preferably combining the two.

The formal requirements on manuscripts ready for publication are summarized below. For detailed guidelines with examples see the documents at the bottom of the page.

  • Language: Preferably (British) English; exceptionally accepted Latin and other major languages. The paper must be submitted as corrected by a competent native speaker.
  • File format: DOC or RTF. We do not normally accept PDF. In case your paper contains unusual characters, logical formulas or some other special formatting, it is advisable to provide also a PDF version. Please do not use the MS Word in-built Equations Editor, formulas and equations created in this way cannot be used for typesetting.
  • Images: Use the following resolution: black & white images: 1200 dpi; other images: 600 dpi. Place your images directly into the text; in addition, provide the source files.
  • Citation style: Use the Chicago Style, “Notes & Bibliography” method. For classical philosophical works, use standard abbreviations and citation method. A footnote reference number should follow any punctuation as a rule.
  • Quotation style:
    1. Short “inline” quotations: use double quotes.
    2. Block quotations: type as a separate paragraph in smaller type, no quotes.
    3. Quotations in footnotes: use double quotes (no italics).

    Source reference should either introduce the quotation (with a colon) or follow after an m-dash. All punctuation not belonging to the quoted text should be placed outside the quotation marks (British style). Use square brackets to set off text which is not part of the quotation (including ellipsis signalling abridgement). Use angle and curly brackets respectively for suggested editorial ⟨insertions⟩ and {cancellations}. Avoid quotations in original languages in the main text, unless for a special reason. Quotations in the main text should be translated into the language of the article, the original being placed in the footnotes.

  • Miscellanea: Avoid underlines, bold type for emphasis (use italics), footnote references in title and headings, more than three heading levels, hyphen / dash / minus sign misuse, excessive use of format styles (use as few as possible). Use single quotes only for: (i) quotations within quotations; (ii) reference to expressions in technical writing. In ranges, do not omit digits (type “143–148” rather than “143–8”).
  • Abstract: Provide an abstract of 1000–1500 characters in English and (optionally) Latin. This does not apply to reviews, discussions etc.

E-mail manuscripts to studia@skaut.org as two files:

  1. the anonymized paper;
  2. this Author Form (please download and fill in).

Submitted manuscripts will be peer-reviewed. We reserve the right to reject submissions not deemed suitable.
