CALL FOR PAPERS
Stance: an undergraduate philosophy journal welcomes original philosophical papers concerning any philosophical topic authored by current undergraduates.
Submission Guidelines:
Current undergraduates may submit a paper between 1500 and 3500 words in length (footnotes may extend the word limit by 500 words at most). Stance asks that each undergraduate only submit one paper for the journal per year. Stance’s acceptance rate is approximately 7%. Papers should avoid unnecessary technicality and strive to be accessible to the widest possible audience without sacrificing clarity or rigor. They are evaluated on the following criteria: depth of inquiry, quality of research/academic rigor, creativity, lucidity, struggle, significance, and, most importantly, originality.
Submission Procedures:
- Manuscripts should be prepared in Microsoft Word (.docx) format and sent as an attachment toballstatestance@gmail.com. Manuscripts should not be submitted in .pdf format.
- Manuscripts should be double-spaced (including quotations, excerpts, and footnotes). The right margin should not be justified.
- To facilitate our anonymous review process, submissions are to be prepared for anonymous review. Include a cover page with the author’s name, affiliation, title, and email address.
- Footnotes should follow Chicago Manual of Style. A style sheet with examples is available on our website under “More about Stance – Information for Authors.”
