Submission of Manuscripts
1. This journal uses ScholarOne for online submission and peer review. ScholarOne is a “comprehensive workflow-management system for scholarly journals, books and conferences”. Further information on ScholarOne can be found here, and queries can be directed to the Editorial Office.
2. Submitting an article to Economics and Philosophy implies that it has not been published in whole or in part elsewhere and is not being considered for publication elsewhere.
3. Authors should ensure that the paper falls within the scope of the journal before submitting.
4. With the exception noted above, articles must be prepared for anonymous refereeing. That is, a referee should not be able to see or directly infer from the paper who the author is. For example, (i) instead of writing “as I have argued previously in Sen (2014)”, please write “as has been argued in Sen (2014)” and (ii) instead of putting “Reference Suppressed”, write, for instance, “Sen (2014” in the main text and “Sen, A. (2014): Justice and identity. Economics and Philosophy 30: 1-10” in the References.
The author's competing interests declaration, and any Acknowledgments, should be omitted from the anonymized version, but provided in a cover letter to the Editors.
5. Authors of accepted articles will be asked to prepare a final version in the journal's style and to submit it electronically. Detailed instructions for preparing the final version of a paper will be provided upon acceptance.
6. Authors must obtain written permission to publish any material for which they do not own the copyright. If your article contains any material in which you do not own copyright, including figures, charts, tables, photographs or excerpts of text, please see the seeking permission to use copyrighted material page for instruction.
Information about where and in what form an author may post the accepted version of a paper may be found on the license to publish form.
7. If you are using LaTex, you can use these class files (zip file) to submit your article.
ORCID
We require all corresponding authors to identify themselves using ORCID when submitting a manuscript to this journal. ORCID provides a unique identifier for researchers and, through integration with key research workflows such as manuscript submission and grant applications, provides the following benefits:
- Discoverability: ORCID increases the discoverability of your publications, by enabling smarter publisher systems and by helping readers to reliably find work that you have authored.
- Convenience: As more organisations use ORCID, providing your iD or using it to register for services will automatically link activities to your ORCID record, and will enable you to share this information with other systems and platforms you use, saving you re-keying information multiple times.
- Keeping track: Your ORCID record is a neat place to store and (if you choose) share validated information about your research activities and affiliations.
See our ORCID FAQs for more information.
If you don’t already have an iD, you will need to create one if you decide to submit a manuscript to this journal. You can register for one directly from your user account on ScholarOne, or alternatively via https://ORCID.org/register.
If you already have an iD, please use this when submitting your manuscript, either by linking it to your ScholarOne account, or by supplying it during submission using the "Associate your existing ORCID iD" button.
ORCIDs can also be used if authors wish to communicate to readers up-to-date information about how they wish to be addressed or referred to (for example, they wish to include pronouns, additional titles, honorifics, name variations, etc.) alongside their published articles. We encourage authors to make use of the ORCID profile’s “Published Name” field for this purpose. This is entirely optional for authors who wish to communicate such information in connection with their article. Please note that this method is not currently recommended for author name changes: see Cambridge’s author name change policy if you want to change your name on an already published article. See our ORCID FAQs for more information.
Licence to publish
Before Cambridge can publish your manuscript, we need a signed licence to publish agreement. Under the agreement, certain rights are granted to the journal owner which allow publication of the article. The original ownership of the copyright in the article remains unchanged. For full details see the publishing agreement page.
