Editorial
Policy
PCW welcomes the
submission of philosophy articles from anywhere in the world.
The articles should: 1) be clearly and concisely written; 2)
treat their subjects in an original and substantive manner;
and 3) address the ways philosophy might be applied to contemporary
problems, or use the resources of philosophical thought to help
define, analyze, clarify, or resolve contemporary problems.
Review
of Manuscripts
Manuscripts will
be judged on their philosophical merit. After an initial review
by the Editor, selected manuscripts will be reviewed anonymously
by two members of the Editorial Review Board or by others chosen
by the Editor. In case of disagreement, a third review will
be obtained. Efforts will be made to provide anonymous comments
to authors. Revision and resubmission of promising manuscripts
will be encouraged. Authority for accepting and rejecting manuscripts
rests with the Editor.
Special issues
may be published from time to time. These issues will have
an Associate Editor appointed by the Editor. Usually the topic
will be publicized in advance and submissions openly encouraged,
although some articles may be invited.
Manuscript
Requirements
Articles of 2500-3500
words are preferred, but articles of exceptional quality of
any length will be considered. An abstract of the article
should be included and will be published. All materials, including
the abstract, block quotations, and notes, should be double-spaced.
Notes should be used sparingly, number consecutively, and placed
at the end of the article. Parenthetical references are encouraged.
For guidelines, see earlier issues of the journal; Kate L. Turabian,
A Manual for Writers, latest edition. A brief style guide
will be sent on request. It is the author's responsibility to
make style revisions, and accepted manuscripts will not be published
until style revisions have been made. Three hard copies should
be submitted with a disk copy of the paper. E-mail submissions
by file attachment are encouraged. The author's name and full
mailing address should be included in the body of the e-mail.
The author's name should not appear on the manuscript copies,
which cannot be returned. Authors should enclose a postcard
if they want immediate acknowledgement of receipt of their manuscripts.
Unsolicited book reviews are not accepted.
Articles accepted
for publication should be resubmitted on computer disk with
an accompanying hard copy. Submission in Microsoft Word or
Word Perfect is preferred, although other word processing
programs are often acceptable.
Manuscripts, criticisms,
suggestions, and related correspondence should be sent to
