GUIDELINES FOR AUTHORS

1. Rights and obligations of authors

The rights and obligations of authors are stated in the Code of Ethics.

2. Language, format and scope of contributions

Filozofia publishes papers in Slovak, Czech and English. Proofreading of papers in Czech and English is done by the authors themselves.

Detailed instructions and recommendations for the formal editing of manuscripts can be found in this document

All contributions must be in a format compatible with MS Word, written in Times New Roman with a 1.5 line spacing.

Filozofia only rarely accepts contributions that do not follow the word count guideline:

  • Research articles: 28,000 – 36,000 characters including spaces
  • Review studies: 18,000 – 27,000 characters including spaces…
