Submissions
Instructions for Contributors
1. Submit your paper in .wp, .rtf, or .doc format. Do not submit your paper as a .pdf file. You should submit two documents: your paper, and your cover letter. The cover letter can be submitted in any format that you like.
2. Papers should not exceed 12-13 pages, or roughly 4500 words. This word count does not include references and abstract, however.
3. With each submission, include an abstract of your paper. The abstract should be on the first page, by itself except for the title of your paper. If you need help writing a proper abstract, contact the Managing Editor. You can also click here to see a Sample Paper, with abstract.
4. Do not type your name, academic affiliation, or any other self-identifying information in your paper. Put that information on your cover letter. Papers are reviewed "blind," so that referees do not know whose paper they are reading.
5. Authors can use whatever reference style (e.g., APA, MLA, Chicago) they prefer at the submission stage. But papers that are accepted for publication will need to be formatted in the modified version of APA that the Journal uses. For more information on the style requirements, click here.
6. Avoid jargon and obscure language as much as possible. Theoretical & Applied Ethics does not publish papers written in the "Continental" style; all papers should present a readable, clear, and concise philosophical argument.
7. There is additional information for authors here.

Formatting a paper for Theoretical & Applied Ethics
All papers, whether submitted for blind-review or invited as commentaries, must be formatted according to the following guidelines.
Headings
Include section headings in your paper that describe the contents, more or less, of each major section. At the very least, aim for something beyond an Introduction, Discussion, Conclusion approach. Do not use numbers in your headings.
Dash
Replace any dashes ("") with other punctuation, as the journal does not use the dash.
Pronouns
Do not use exclusively male (or female) pronouns unless you specifically mean to refer to one gender only. For instance, do not write "if someone is deserving of healthcare, then he should have access to it" if you mean that both a he and a she should have access to it.
Foot/Endnotes
Do not use your word processor's footnote or endnote feature. Try to use notes sparingly, if at all. Place any
text for the foot/endnotes in sequence at the end of the paper, before the References page, with the note
numbers themselves in the text using square brackets ("[5]"). In other words, do not rely on your software
to automatically generate and print the notes. The end of your paper should look like this:
Endnotes
[1] text text text
[2] text text text
[3] etc
In the body of the text itself, the note number should be placed at the end of the sentence, like this.[3]
References
Format your references or works cited in a modified APA style, as is illustrated below. References should be arranged alphabetically on your References page, not in the order that they are cited. For articles or books, cite in the text, and in quotation, this way:
A conventional method is to demonstrate this by defining evil or god in a way that removes the grounds for culpability or blameworthiness (Jones, 1997). For one writer, however, this best be shown through analogy: "suppose I complain that a particular tennis player is not scoring any goals. You might rightly reply that tennis players are not in the business of scoring goals. That is what football players are about. By the same token, so I am arguing, we have reason to deny that people should be thought of as morally good or bad and we therefore have reason to deny that people are moral agents. . . . " (Dallies 2002, 103-4). Accordingly, "if people are not gods, and if their goodness is not human moral goodness, then there can be no explanation of evils in terms of ways in which people are morally justified for allowing X, Y, or Z" (Dallies 2002, 228).
Use quotation marks with all quoted material, even when it is placed in block form (as the above example is). This will reduce the chance that your quotes will be confused, during our final formatting process, with your own text. Do not place your references in foot/endnotes. In particular, do not send the reader to an Endnote if you simply want to refer to a page number or "ibid." Notes should contain only narrative text. Your reference page should come at the end of your paper. Example:
Plerssone, I. (2007). Two claims about moral human beings. Quarterly Journal of Bioethics and Mortality, 14, 5, 503-516.
Rechal, J. (1988). God and Inhuman Attributes. In S. M. Chan & D. Sratz (Eds.), What's Wrong with Contemporary Philosophy of Religion? (pp. 167-181). NY: Oxford University Press.
Note: You needn't indent the first or second line of your references, or use quotation marks around the titles of articles or book sections. Also, do not abbreviate the titles of journals or books.
Abstract
Include an abstract of roughly 150-300 words. Place the abstract at beginning of your paper.
Rechal, J. (1988). God and Inhuman Attributes. In S. M. Chan & D. Sratz (Eds.), What's Wrong with Contemporary Philosophy of
Religion? (pp. 167-181). NY: Oxford University Press.
