Submissions

Author Guidelines

Manuscripts in Slovenian, English, French, and German are accepted.

Manuscripts sent for consideration must not have been previously published or be simultaneously considered for publication elsewhere.

Authors are required to provide the text in Microsoft Word format (.doc or .docx), and preferably in Times New Roman font. The manuscripts should be accompanied by an abstract (in the language of the manuscript and in English) summarizing the main points in no more than 150 words, with up to seven keywords (in the language of the manuscript and in English).

A brief biographical note indicating the author’s institutional affiliation(s), works published, and main subject of professional interest should also be enclosed.

Manuscripts should not exceed 8,000 words (45,000 characters with spaces) including notes. Manuscripts should be sectioned with clearly marked subheadings, which should not be numbered. The manuscript title and subheadings should be fully capitalized. Paragraph breaks should be marked with single line spacing rather than paragraph indentation. Use double quotation marks throughout the text (e.g. for titles of articles, quoted words or phrases, technical terms), except for quotes within quotes. With regard to the final punctuation of text in double quotes, full stops and commas should be within the closing double quote if the text in double quotes is from a source, while full stops and commas should be outside the closing double quote if the text in double quotes is more like a term. All other punctuation should be outside the closing double quote unless it is originally part of the quoted text. Example:

It is precisely at such points that there emerges what William Walters termed the “humanitarian border”. The term “humanitarian border” designates “the reinvention of the border as a space of humanitarian government.”¹

Titles of books and periodicals, and foreign words (e.g. a priori, epoché, élan vital, Umwelt, etc.) should be in italics. Note numbers should be referred to in the text by means of superscript numbers; footnotes should begin on the same page that they refer to.

Citations in footnotes should be presented as follows:

Monographs

Gilles-Gaston Granger, Pour la connaissance philosophique, Paris, Odile Jacob, 1988, p. 57.

Alain Badiou, Being and Event, trans. O. Feltham, New York, Continuum, 2006.

All subsequent citations of the same work:

Part of a monograph

Cf. Charles Taylor, “Rationality”, in M. Hollis, S. Lukes (eds.), Rationality and Relativism, Oxford, Basil Blackwell, 1983, pp. 87–105.

The full extent of a part of a monograph should be cited in the footnote if it is a reference to a whole part of a monograph; however, if it is a reference to a particular passage in a part of a monograph, only the particular page or pages in question should be cited. The full extent of the part of the monograph should be cited in the References.

Journal articles

Friedrich Rapp, “Observational Data and Scientific Progress”, Studies in History and Philosophy of Science, 11 (2/1980), p. 153.

Journals numbered continuously should be cited in the following manner:

Michel Aglietta, “European Vortex”, New Left Review, 75 (2012), p. 36.

The full extent of an article should be cited in the footnote if it is a reference to the whole article; however, if it is a reference to only a particular passage in an article, only the page or pages in question should be cited. The full extent of the article should be cited in the References.

Citing web publications

Citing web publications must include the date/time of the last access, e.g.: accessed 4 May 2021. The webpage should be cited in the footnote and in the References, but the DOI only in the References. Information on the last access should not be cited in the References. The webpage or DOI should be cited at the end of the cited unit.

E-books

When citing e-books, add the file format or the name of the device required to read it. If no page number is available, the number of the chapter or other recognizable part of the book should be used. The numbers or locations specific to one format or device should not be quoted. If the web publication of a book is cited, the URL or DOI, if available, should be given. If the page(s) cannot be given, this should be noted as n. p.

References

Detailed bibliographical information should be given in a separate alphabetical list at the end of the manuscript. The literature should be cited fully, as in the footnotes, with a reversed order of the name and surname (surname first). Units by the same author should be ordered by the date of their publication. Every unit should contain all information, despite repetition; the surname and name should be listed and not substituted by any sign. If the web publication of a book is cited, the URL or DOI, if available, should be given.

Longer quotes

Quotes longer than four lines should be separated from the main text by a paragraph break before and after, and fully indented on the left margin.

Eliding parts of quotes

Elision of parts of quotes should be marked by three dots in square brackets: […]. A letter that does not correspond to the capitalization of the original quote should be appropriately marked by a square bracket (i.e. [c]apital or [C]apital).

Pictures

Pictures should not be inserted in the file; the place of their subsequent insertion should be marked. Pictures should be in jpg format, with at least 300 dpi.

British/American spelling

British or American spelling is acceptable, but the text must be internally consistent. Furthermore, consistent use of the S or Z form of words such as organise/organize, summarize/summarise, etc., is required. A comma follows e.g. and i.e. in American English, but not in British English.

Other

Authors can add their ORCID number, if available. Articles will be externally peer-reviewed. Authors agree to the terms of publication, which are posted on the journal’s website under Copyright Notice. Proofs will be sent to authors. They should be corrected and returned to the Editor as soon as possible. Alterations other than corrections of typographical errors will not be accepted.
