About the journal
Research in many fields confirms that science is changing its nature. Natural science, cognitive and social sciences, mathematics and philosophy (i.e., the set of tools developed to understand and model reality) exceed the conceptual framework introduced by Galileo and Descartes. Complexity and chaos; network dynamics; anticipatory systems; qualitative aspects of experience (intentionality, for example); emergent properties and objects; forward, upward, and downward causation: all portend a new scientific agenda.
Axiomathes publishes studies of evolving ideas, perspectives, and methods in science, mathematics, and philosophy. Many aspects of this dawning are unknown: there will be startlingly good ideas, and many blind-alleys. We welcome this ferment. While Axiomathes’ scope is left open, scholarly depth, quality and precision of presentation remain prerequisites for publication.
Axiomathes welcomes submissions, regardless of the tradition, school of thought, or disciplinary background from which they derive. The members of the journal’s editorial board reflect this approach in the diversity of their affiliations and interests.
All submissions are subjected to double-blind peer review, the average peer review time is 3 months.
Axiomathes publishes:
· Research articles, presenting original ideas and results.
· Review articles, which comprehensively synthesize and critically assess recent, original works or a selected collection of thematically related books.
· Commentaries, brief articles that comment on articles published previously.
· Book symposia, in which commentators are invited to debate an influential book with the author, who answers with a concluding reply.
· Special issues, in which an expert collaborates with the journal as a guest editor, in order to identify an interesting topic in science, mathematics or philosophy, and interacts with the selected contributors, being in charge of a whole issue of the journal. Axiomathes invites potential guest-editors, who might be interested in collecting and editing such special issue, to contact the Editor in order to discuss the feasibility of the project.
· Focused debates, collecting submissions and invited articles around a particular theme, as part of a normal issue of the journal.
· Authors wishing to submit a reply article, or a proposal for a review article, a book symposium, a special issue or a focused debate, are invited to contact the Editor for further information.
Instructions to Authors

The colour figure will only appear in colour on www.springer.com and not in the printed version of the journal. 2) Online and printed colour. The colour figures will appear in colour on our website and in the printed version of the journal. The charges are EUR 950/USD 1150 per article.
Language
We appreciate any efforts that you make to ensure that the language is corrected before submission. This will greatly improve the legibility of your paper if English is not your first language.
Reviewing Procedure
Axiomathes follows a double-blind reviewing procedure. Authors are therefore requested to place their name and affiliation on a separate page. Self-identifying citations and references in the article text should either be avoided or left blank when manuscripts are first submitted. Authors are responsible for reinserting self-identifying citations and references when manuscripts are prepared for final submission.
Manuscript Presentation
The journals language is English. British English or American English spelling and terminology may be used, but either one should be followed consistently throughout the article. Manuscripts should be typewritten on A4 or US Letter bond paper, one side only, leaving adequate margins on all sides to allow reviewers' remarks. Please double-space all material, including notes and references. Quotations of more than 40 words should be set off clearly, either by indenting the left-hand margin or by using a smaller typeface. Use double quotation marks for direct quotations and single quotation marks for quotations within quotations and for words or phrases used in a special sense.
Number the pages consecutively with the first page containing:
· running head (shortened title)
· article type
· title
· author(s)
· affiliation(s)
· full address for correspondence, including telephone and fax number and e-mail address
Abstract
· Please provide a short abstract of 100 to 250 words. The abstract should not contain any undefined abbreviations or references.
Key Words
· Please provide 5 to 10 key words or short phrases in alphabetical order.
Abbreviations
· Abbreviations should be explained at first occurrence.
Article Types
· Research articles and book reviews will be considered for publication. Other article types may be considered at the discretion of the editor-in-chief.
Figures
· All photographs, graphs and diagrams should be referred to as a 'Figure' and they should be numbered consecutively (1, 2, etc.). Multi-part figures ought to be labelled with lower case letters (a, b, etc.). Please insert keys and scale bars directly in the figures. Relatively small text and great variation in text sizes within figures should be avoided as figures are often reduced in size. Figures may be sized to fit approximately within the column(s) of the journal. Provide a detailed legend (without abbreviations) to each figure, refer to the figure in the text and note its approximate location in the margin. Please place the legends in the manuscript after the references.
Tables
· Each table should be numbered consecutively (1, 2, etc.). In tables, footnotes are preferable to long explanatory material in either the heading or body of the table. Such explanatory footnotes, identified by superscript letters, should be placed immediately below the table. Please provide a caption (without abbreviations) to each table, refer to the table in the text and note its approximate location in the margin. Finally, please place the tables after the figure legends in the manuscript.
Section Headings
· Section headings should be numbered (e.g., 1., 1.1, 1.1.1, 2., 2.1, etc.).
Appendices
· Supplementary material should be collected in an Appendix and placed before the Notes and Reference sections.
Notes
· Please use endnotes rather than footnotes. Notes should be indicated by consecutive superscript numbers in the text and listed at the end of the article before the References. References should be collected in a list at the end of the article.
Cross-Referencing
· In the text, a reference identified by means of an author's name should be followed by the date of the reference in parentheses and page number(s) where appropriate. When there are more than two authors, only the first author's name should be mentioned, followed by 'et al.'. In the event that an author cited has had two or more works published during the same year, the reference, both in the text and in the reference list, should be identified by a lower case letter, as in 'a' and 'b' after the date to distinguish the works.
· Examples:
Winograd (1986, p. 204)
(Winograd 1986a, b)
(Winograd 1986; Flores et al. 1988)
(Bullen and Bennett 1990)
Acknowledgements
· Acknowledgements of people, grants, funds, etc. should be placed in a separate section before the References.
