All cases of unethical behavior (plagiarism, ghostwriting, guest authorship) will be taken extremely seriously: we shall reveal them and inform the institutions the alleged author is affiliated with.
  3. All texts that fit the journal’s scope and meet high academic standards will be subject to a double-blind peer review process [review’s form].
  4. The papers should be prepared for a double-blind review, with the names of the Authors, revealing acknowledgements, and self-identifying references removed. The missing content should be supplied after the paper has been accepted for publication.

C. Bibliography guidelines

  1. In-text author-date citations. Examples:
    • Tarski (1935) defines truth for formal languages of logic and mathematics.
    • This, I suspect, is what prompts the remark that his definition “does not aim to specify the meaning of a familiar word used to denote a novel notion” (Tarski 1944: 341).
    • It is heartening, therefore, that later work has followed an empirically balanced approach (Dowty, Wall, Peters 1981).
    • Propositions are fundamental, and possible worlds are sets of propositions (Davidson 1967, 1970a, b).
    • The most promising recent attempted solution, in (Higginbotham 1992), is refuted in (Soames 2008).
  2. Alphabetized reference list (after the body of the paper). Examples of entries:
