Instructions to authors

 

General

The Society is unusual in that most of the papers it publishes are the result of direct invitations to particular individuals. However, the Society is also willing to consider Replies and Discussion Notes for publication in the Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society, which will undergo a process of refereeing.
 

Submission

As from 2016, the Aristotelian Society Supplementary Volume will be using an online submission system for all invited and general submissions (Replies and Discussion Notes for the Proceedings only for the latter). Guidelines can be found at the following location: http://www.oxfordjournals.org/en/authors/online-submission.html.
 
The online submission system can be accessed at the following location: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/arisup.
 
New authors should create an account prior to submitting a manuscript for consideration. Questions about submitting to the journal should be sent to the editorial office at mail@aristoteliansociety.org.uk.
 
Invited papers are not required to be anonymized for the purposes of the review process, however, unsolicited Discussion Notes for the Proceedings should be prepared for blind review and as such authors are reminded to keep their submissions anonymous and personal details and acknowledgements should be removed from the main document and provided instead in a separate title page document at submission stage.
 

Style

 
The Society’s house style requirements are set out in its Style Sheet, available at: www.aristoteliansociety.org.uk/pdf/style_sheet.pdf. Please ensure that you refer to the house style requirements when preparing your manuscript.
 

Replies and Discussion Notes

 

  • Discussion notes and replies to papers from the Proceedings or Supplementary Volume regularly take the form of a concise commentary or criticism.
  • Accepted notes and replies are published in the Proceedings only.
  • Interested authors are advised to read previous notes and replies published in the Proceedings. This will give prospective authors an idea of what the Society is willing to accept for publication.
  • Discussion notes and replies are the only unsolicited papers the Society will review for publication. Any other kind of submission will not be considered.
  • Papers must not exceed 2000 words.
  • Papers must adhere to the Society's house style requirements, which are set out in its Style Guide.
  • Papers must be formatted in either Word 2003 (and higher) or RTF. Papers containing many symbols, tables, etc. and which may therefore be liable to distortion should be formatted in PDF. Authors who are unsure about the possibility of distortion are free to submit in both Word/RTF and PDF.
  • Papers must be prepared for blind review, i.e., no self-identiyfing references.
  • Papers must be accompanied by a separate cover sheet which provides the paper's title, author's name, institutional affiliation (if applicable), and contact details (email address, phone number, and mailing address).
 
Authors are encouraged to observe high standards with respect to publication best practice. Any cases of ethical or publication malpractice are treated very seriously and will be managed with in accordance with the Commission on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines of which OUP is a member. Further information about OUP’s ethical policies is available here.
 

Figures/Illustrations

 
For information on how to submit figure files, please see the Oxford Journals page on figures: http://oxfordjournals.org/en/authors/figures.html. You can also send queries about figure files to ARISUP@oup.com.
 

Proofs

 
Authors will receive a link to the PDF proof of their manuscript on our online system by email, and it is essential that a current email address is supplied with all manuscripts. Proofing instructions will accompany the PDF file but the proof should be checked immediately upon receipt and uploaded in accordance with covering instructions. Only essential corrections should be made at the proof stage.
 

Issue Publication

 
For the Aristotelian Society Supplementary Volume, manuscripts arrive at OUP and go through the production process until the final versions are ready to publish. These are then published into an issue online once the issue is prepared.
 

Copyright
 

It is a condition of publication in the Journal that authors assign copyright to the Aristotelian Society. This ensures that requests from third parties to reproduce articles are handled efficiently and consistently and will also allow the article to be as widely disseminated as possible. In assigning copyright, authors may use their own material in other publications provided that the Journal is acknowledged as the original place of publication, and Oxford University Press, on behalf of the Aristotelian Society, is notified in writing and in advance.

Upon receipt of accepted manuscripts at Oxford Journals authors will be invited to complete an online copyright assignment form.
