  polylog is a scholarly online-journal with an interdisciplinary orientation. The form of contributions is left to the authors: Justified, or justifiable, deviations from academic and publishing customs are always possible, for example, when necessary in order to better reflect a particular philosophical traditional. Very brief contributions are also welcome. Authors should send only original, unpublished work. All papers are blind-reviewed by experts in the field.

  2.
  Unless you inform us otherwise, with your submission we acquire a non-exclusive, temporally and territorially unlimited copyright for all types of use (internet, print, CD-ROM, etc.), for translations of your contribution, and the right to extend these rights of user to the print editions of the publication project polylog. Further, you affirm that you have the corresponding rights to your contribution at your disposal.

  3.
  We are pleased if you are able to provide translations into other languages of your contribution. The contribution could then be published together with the translations, which contributes to a prompt, broad circulation.

  4.
  In order to allow for greater intercultural and interdisciplinary understanding, we ask that all submitted texts aim for good readability, clarity and rigor. Please pay particular attention to the spelling, grammar and style of your contribution.

  5.
  As far as possible, bibliographical references should be given by parenthetical citation in the text (Last Name Year, Page), since footnotes are somewhat inconvenient to read on the internet. Full citations should be given in a bibliography and follow these formats:

  First name Last Name (Year): Title. Subtitle. Place of Publication: Publisher.
  Example: Franz M. Wimmer (1990): Interkulturelle Philosophie. Geschichte und Theorie. Wien: Passagen.

  First name Last Name (Year): "Title". In: Journal Name Volume.Number, Pages.
  Example: Howard Sankey (1991): "Incommensurability, Translation and Understanding". In: The Philosophical Quarterly 41.165, 414-426.

  6.
  Italics may be used for emphasis. Words from foreign languages and in quotations should also be indicated by italics. Quotations are further indicated by quotation marks. Please make use of current scholarly standards for transliteration and do not use simplifications.

  7.
  Please use section headings within the text. Unstructured text is particularly difficult to read on the internet.

  8.
  Please provide keywords and a very short (one sentence) description of your contribution and make suggestions for links, possible text (quotations, associations, etc.) or illustrations to be used in the margins.

  9.
  Send contributions via e-mail or on CD-ROM as OpenDocument (odt) or in Rich Text Format (rtf) to the editors. Submitted papers will not be returned to the authors.

  polylog is scheduled to be published with a focal theme in the beginning of the year and will be updated on an ongoing basis.
