CFP: Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy

The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy is actively recruiting authors for articles. Philosophy professors are encouraged to e-mail the recruiting editor ([email protected]) with requests for submissions to The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy. (The Encyclopedia also occasionally considers submissions from A.B.D. graduate students in philosophy.) Most articles are 6,000 – 10,000 words. Note our list of 100 most desired articles (http://www.iep.utm.edu/submit/100-most/) and the lists of desired articles by area (http://www.iep.utm.edu/submit/desired/) of philosophy. Prospective authors may propose articles on these or on any other traditional philosophy topic or person not currently in the IEP or on our list of reserved articles. Authors may also offer to replace any IEP proto-articles, which are identifiable by the inclusion of the initials “IEP” rather than a person’s name at the foot of the article. Please search for the articles already published to avoid duplicating a topic currently reserved (use the search box or browse the alphabetical index).

When contacting the editor, please indicate:

1. your educational credentials and university affiliation,
2. the provisional title of the proposed article, and
3. a tentative (and realistic) date of completion; six months is typical.

If you are asked by the editors to write an article, then consult the guideline for authors (http://www.iep.utm.edu/submit/authors/) for information on article format, style, and the licensing agreement. Authors should submit their documents in Word format. If there is a special need, such as with articles written in special word processors that facilitate logical and mathematical equations, we will accept HTML file submissions, but those HTML files should contain minimal HTML tags and should not be generated simply by using the “save as HTML” command within MS Word. Graphics and photos should be separate attachments in jpg or gif format.
