Submissions

Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.

The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
The submission file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or RTF document file format.
Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines.
I, the submitting author, and (if applicable on behalf of ) the co-author(s), accept and agree that the editorial decisions on submissions are final with no right to appeal. A blind review process is followed by the Journal and the decision of the editors usually -but not necessarily- align with the recommendations of reviewers.
By submitting a manuscript to the Journal, the author(s) allows the Journal and the Publisher to disseminate the submitted material in print and electronic formats following a peer-review and editorial process.

Author Guidelines

The aim of the Journal of Posthumanism is to provide a medium for the publication of original works covering the entire span of Posthumanism studies. The editors are particularly keen to publish critical, multidisciplinary perspectives on a wide range of issues related to the posthuman condition.

All contributors must now submit to the Journal of Posthumanism via the online submission process after registering with this website.

Works submitted for publication are entered into a double-blind peer review system and normally read by at least two assessors. The Editors' decision will be final. Articles submitted to the Journal of Posthumanism should be original pieces of work, not been published before and not being considered for publication elsewhere in its final form, either in printed or electronic form.

Please make sure your manuscript is prepared according to the guidelines provided on our website. You can also use the manuscript template.

All works submitted to the Journal of Posthumanism should be original unpublished accounts. For each section, please see the section policy.

If the online system is not responsive, submissions can be sent by e-mail to the editor. Manuscripts must be submitted as word documents (.txt, .doc, .rtf extensions are accepted).

Any opinions expressed in the Journal of Posthumanism are those of authors and do not necessarily those of the editors or publisher.

Authors are personally responsible for obtaining permission for the reprint of any previously published material. Manuscripts need to be anonymized (i.e. author details and self-references removed) and ready for double-blind peer review.

The Publisher is authorised to disseminate the submitted material in print and electronic formats following a thorough peer-review and editorial process.

All manuscripts must be submitted in English (for submissions in other languages, please contact editors in advance). To disseminate your research more effectively, you may consider getting professional help from our partner copyeditors via https://loveyouart.com/index.php/product/proofreading/ or elsewhere.

Footnotes in the text should be numbered seriatim and include information which is not appropriate in the main text.

Tables and figures should be integrated in the text, and the copy editors may alter the layout whenever necessary. The title page must include an abstract of about 150 words and 3-5 keywords. Full contact information with institutional affiliations must also be provided. Introduction, literature review and data should be kept to a minimum unless it is essential to the paper.

Manuscripts submitted to Journal of Posthumanism will not be returned.

Please include your full details, contact and mail addresses, affiliations (if any), and a short biography when submitting online. Please also include the names and contact details of three potential reviewers while submitting online (there is a section to enter notes to the editor).

References must be complete. All references to books, articles and other sources should be inserted in the text; in-text citations should contain the last name of the author, year of publication and pagination (without “p.”) where appropriate, e.g. (Smith, 2003, 187).

For co-authored sources, provide names for two authors in the text, e.g., (Smith & Cohen, 2011), and for more than two authors, use et al. after the first author's name (Sirkeci et al., 2009).

For institutions, use abbreviations in the text.

Acknowledgements should be given either in a footnote on the first page or at the end of the manuscript, before the list of references.

The reference list should be placed at the end of the text and must only include sources referred to in the text. All items should be listed alphabetically by author and by year of publication. Italics must be used for titles of books and journals.
