About the journal
Aims & Scope
Membership of the Australasian Association of Philosophy includes a subscription to Australasian Journal of Philosophy. For further information on how to become a member, please click here.
The Australasian Journal of Philosophy (AJP) is Australasia's oldest and leading philosophy journal. It was founded in 1923 and is now in its 85th year of continuous publication. The journal is recognized as one of the best in the analytic tradition and is heavily cited in the general philosophical literature. In addition to Articles and Discussion Notes, the journal publishes Book Reviews and Book Notes, and, from time to time, a commissioned Critical Notice of an important recent book. In March 2004 a Special Issue in Honour of David Lewis was published. Manuscripts are received from all continents, and the journal has recently published submissions from American, European, Asian, and Australasian contributors. Close links are maintained with the sponsoring organization, the Australasian Association of Philosophy, to whom the Editor reports annually.
Australasian Journal of Philosophy Archive
Institutional subscribers to Australasian Journal of Philosophy can enjoy electronic access to the journal's rich archive as Routledge completes the digitisation of the entire run of the journal. Access to this archive - forty years of additional material - is free with all institutional subscriptions and will continue to ensure that Australasian Journal of Philosophy remains indispensable to all those working in the field. The second phase is now complete and includes all issues back to volume-9 (1961).

Submissions
All submissions to the Journal are now made via ScholarOne Manuscripts. Before submitting a paper, authors must read Parts 1, 2 and 3 of the instructions below. To be considered for publication, both Unsolicited Contributions (Articles and Discussion Notes) and Solicited Contributions (Reviews etc.) must meet the Minimum Standard described below (except that solicited contributions do not have to be made anonymous).
Contents
1. Before Submission
Authors are strongly advised to read the Journal's Editorial Policy, Editorial Procedures and Referees' Instructions pages before contemplating submission of a paper.
2. The Submission Process
Submissions are made online at the Australasian Journal of Philosophy ScholarOne Manuscripts site. New users should first create an account; the Journal's referees have had an account created for them in advance. If you are a new user, you will be prompted to enter some keywords: you should enter keywords identifying your areas of research expertise; there is provision to make these quite detailed. (They will help us if we later decide we wish to engage your services as a referee.) Once logged on to the site, users should submit their papers via the Author Centre. Online user guides and access to a helpdesk are available on this website.
Manuscripts may be submitted in a limited range of standard formats, including .doc, .docx, .rtf, PostScript and .pdf. These files will be automatically converted into a PDF file for the review process. Authors who write in LaTeX must convert their files to PDF prior to submission, because the submission interface does not accept LaTeX files. Neither does it handle documents prepared in some recent word-processing formats such as .odt. These restrictions may be overcome by using your word processor's "Save As" option to save your document as a different (e.g. .doc or .rtf) file type, or, again, by converting to PDF before submission.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Although it will handle Greek, the interface does not reliably convert unusual embedded fonts, for example, those which may be used for special characters such as logic symbols or diacritical marks (as found in the rendition of, e.g., Sanskrit). Papers which contain any such characters must be submitted as .pdf files. Authors who do not take this precaution are warned that their texts may contain non-obvious errors which can seriously mislead referees.
The submission process cannot be completed unless the author certifies that the manuscript meets the Journal's Minimum Standard.
Table of Contents
3. Minimum Standard
ScholarOneManuscripts offers authors the option of supplying a 'cover letter'. The AJP requires authors to include such a letter, which must contain all useful contact information — email address, fax and phone numbers, postal address, etc., plus notification of any expected changes in these details.
Submissions must be in English, formatted to be double-spaced with margins of not less than 25mm (or one inch), an A4 page size, and automatic page numbering. A short but properly informative abstract (maximum 350 words, minimum 200 words) at the beginning of the paper is required, followed by 3 to 6 keywords. Authors should take special note of the Journal's policy on word limits: see Editorial Policy.
Typescripts must be carefully proof-read prior to submission so that referees do not have their time wasted in identifying and listing errors. The most common authorial error consists in failing to reconcile in-text citations with the final bibliography.
In order to facilitate dispassionate refereeing, neither the name(s) of the author(s) nor any institutional affiliation may be shown in the paper itself, and all references to an author's own work(s) must be disguised (e.g. by being made in an impersonal and neutral form), with journal and book titles/publishers suppressed, or omitted altogether. Acknowledgments of gratitude must likewise be omitted. (Self-identifying references may be restored after the evaluation process is complete.)
The Editor requires that all the above conditions are met as a minimum standard before the paper is considered, and advises authors that footnotes rather than endnotes are more convenient for readers, as is a final consolidated bibliography.
Although submissions meeting only the above minimum standard will be considered for publication, it is Editorial Policy that any submission which is accepted for publication must immediately be brought into conformity with the more exacting standards of Journal Style, described below. That is, when a paper has been accepted, the author(s) will be required to supply a final electronic version which so conforms. Publication will not otherwise be proceeded with.
Table of Contents
4. Journal Style
For purposes of assessment, only the much less exacting Minimum Standard need be met. The requirements of Journal Style are not imposed on authors until a paper has been conditionally accepted, or unconditionally accepted for publication, when it must be supplied in a limited range of formats which the publisher's typesetters can handle, namely .doc, .docx, or .rtf. (Authors whose original submission was written in LaTeX can find help with the conversion process here.) The content must conform to the guidelines below.
For those who need more advice than is given in the summary immediately below, there is a table at the end of this page, displaying links to downloadable pdf versions of short documents which give more detailed information on AJP Journal Style requirements. All documents are provided in both A4 and US Letter formats for easy printing.
Layout Style
Authors should take the appearance of a recent article in the printed version of the Journal as a rough guide for the production, conventions and layout of a finished typescript. The following general pattern must be followed in production of a final version for the Editor:
TITLE
Author's Name
Abstract [N.B. As space is at a premium, the abstract must not just repeat passages from the opening of the main text.]
Main Text*
Institutional Affiliation
REFERENCES
[*The Main Text should be divided into convenient sections with arabic numerals for each section and decimalization for sub-sections. For example:
1. Introduction
Some text.
A footnote. {N.B. The AJP require footnotes, not endnotes.}
2. What Does a Logical Constant Mean?
2.1 The Core Tenets of Inferential Role Semantics
Some more text.
2.2 Proof-Conditional Semantics and the Sequent Calculus
Yet more text.]
Text Style
Acronyms are deprecated. Unmemorable acronyms are prohibited.
The Oxford English Dictionary's version of UK usage is the Journal's normal standard for spelling; any spellchecker should be set to UK English. Quotations should follow the spelling of the quoted source.
Substantial quotations (40 words or more) should be indented without quotation marks. Other quotations should be enclosed by single quotation marks. Double quotation marks should be used only in the following ways: as inner quotation marks within single quotation marks, for example, for quotations within quotations; and to enable the exact reproduction of quoted material (i.e. where a quoted author has himself used them). Closing punctuation should be shown outside the quotation marks unless it belongs to the quoted text. Be aware of the difference between an apostrophe (’) and a prime (′); don't use the former as a substitute for the latter.
Format for left justification only and disable any hyphenization programme.
The AJP uses an author-date system of citations. The date used in the main text and footnotes should be that of the edition used. Anachronism and absurdity (such as 'Kant 1979') should be minimized, where possible, by indicating in the Bibliography the date of original publication (as, e.g., in the 'Edited Text' example shown below). References should be given in square brackets in the text whenever possible. Footnotes should be substantive; those merely giving citations should be avoided.
Citations should appear in the text in the following forms: [author's surname(s) year: page number(s) if any], unless the author's name forms part of the sentence.
Examples: 'As Lycan [2001: 25–9] notices . . .'
'Several authors have taken this view [Black 2002: 159, 161–3; Goldman 1994: 107; Velleman 1995].'
'A typical version of this argument can be found in Bloggs [2008: 257–64].'
Note that there is no comma between author and date, and page numbers (if any) are set off from the date by a colon. Several works by an author in the same year should be distinguished by adding a lower case letter to the date, as [Jones 1999a: 23], [Jones 1999b]. Where the author's name is mentioned in the text or in a note, followed closely by a citation, the author's name may be omitted from the citation, e.g., 'Bloggs denies that colours are primary qualities [1997: 234–7].' 'Ibid.' and 'loc. cit.' (in romans) may be used; 'op. cit.' should not.
Bibliography: a final list, in alphabetical order by author, and titled 'REFERENCES', must be included, and items must be formatted according to the following examples:
ARTICLE:
Black, Tim 2002. A Moorean Response to Brain-in-a-Vat Scepticism, Australasian Journal of Philosophy 80/2: 148–63.
Stevens, G. 2004. From Russell's Paradox to the Theory of Judgement: Wittgenstein and Russell on the Unity of the Proposition, Theoria 70/1: 28–61. [Note that, to aid searching, both volume and issue numbers must be supplied for journal citations.]
BOOK:
Hylton, Peter 2007. Quine, London and New York: Routledge.
Devitt, Michael and Kim Sterelny 1987. Language and Reality: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Language, Oxford: Blackwell.
CHAPTER IN A BOOK:
Beall, J. C. 2007. Truth and Paradox: A Philosophical Sketch, in Philosophy of Logic, ed. Dale Jacquette, Amsterdam: North-Holland: 325–410.
Jones, Karen 2005. Moral Epistemology, in The Oxford Handbook of Contemporary Philosophy, ed. Frank Jackson and Michael Smith, Oxford: Oxford University Press: 63–85.
EDITED BOOK:
Horton, Keith and Haig Patapan, eds, 2004. Globalisation and Equality, London and New York: Routledge.
EDITED TEXT:
Hume, D. 1974 (1747). A Treatise of Human Nature, ed. P. Nidditch, Oxford: Clarendon Press.
ONLINE PUBLICATION:
Candlish, Stewart 2007. The Identity Theory of Truth, The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (Spring 2007 Edition), ed. Edward N. Zalta, URL = <http://plato.stanford.edu/archives/spr2007/entries/truth-identity/>
Note that titles of journal articles and chapters in books are not in quotes. Titles of books and journals are given in italics. Volume and issue numbers of journals are given in Arabic numerals. Both the city of publication and the publisher are given for books. Where more than one work by the same person is listed, the author's name must be repeated in the list rather than replaced by dashes (this is, again, to aid searching), and the items listed must be in chronological order, except that alphabetical order trumps chronological, so that co-authored items always follow single-authored items by the same person: e.g. 'Bloggs, J. and A. N. Other 1984' follows, rather than precedes, 'Bloggs, J. 1993' (but precedes, rather than follows, 'Bloggs, J. and M. Zitwell 1979).
The most common authorial error, even at the final stages of preparation, consists in failing to reconcile in-text citations with the final bibliography.
For those who need more advice than is given above, the following table displays links to downloadable pdf versions of brief documents (1–2 pp.) giving more detailed information, including examples, on AJP Journal Style requirements. All documents are provided in both A4 and US Letter formats for easy printing.
