PHILOSOPHY &
CULTURAL
EMBODIMENT

General Format & Style

  1. Manuscripts should be double-spaced and have standard one-inch margins. All fonts should be 12 pt Times New Roman.

  2. Each section of the manuscript should be numbered and titled (e.g., "1. Introduction", "2.1. Theories of Embodied Cognition", "2.2.3. Metaphor and basic concepts"). Main words are capitalized for 1st and 2nd level headings (e.g., the first 2 examples listed: 1. and 2.1.), but 3rd level headings (e.g., section 2.2.3.) have only the first word capitalized.

  3. The insertion of headers, footers, and page numbers is not required as this will be taken care of in the copy editing process.

  4. Indent all paragraphs using only the tab key; make sure that all paragraphs are indented evenly. All text should be left justified/aligned. Do not right justify/align the margins or use "soft" hyphens at the end of a line to "break" a word.

  5. Use a single space between words within the document.

  6. All text in bold or italics must be displayed in bold or italics in the electronic version. Non-ASCII characters (mathematical symbols, Greek letters,accents, etc.), should be checked for accuracy. This is especially important for files being converted into MSWord from other software programs or conversions into English.

  7. Use em dashes (—), rather than hyphens (-) or en dashes (–), when making transition breaks (e.g., "...Husserl—who was the principal founder of phenomenology—argued that..."). Use en dashes to indicate numerical and other ranges (e.g., "pp. 35–45").

  8. Commas and periods should go inside of "double quotes," but go outside of 'single quotes'.

  9. Use double quotes for quotations and "scare quotes." Single quotes are to be used for mentioned linguistic terms (e.g., "the word 'cat'") and quotations within quotations. Concepts and categories are to be in small caps (e.g., "the concept cat").

  10. Use italics for introduced terms, emphasis, and non-English words (except common Latin abbreviations).

  11. Authors should verify spelling and grammar before submitting the manuscript.

  12. The manuscript should contain an unstructured abstract of about 300 words.

  13. Funding details. Please supply all details required by your funding and grant-awarding bodies as follows :
    For single agency grants :
    This work was supported by the [Funding Agency] under Grant [number xxxx].

    For multiple agency grants :
    This work was supported by the [Funding Agency #1] under Grant [number xxxx]; [Funding Agency #2] under Grant [number xxxx]; and [Funding Agency #3] under Grant

  14. Publication Charges
    There are no submission fees, publication fees or page charges for this journal.

Quotations, Citations, & References:

  1. Quotations longer than 40 words should be separated from the text in a block quotation.

  2. Within the body of the text, quotations are to be indicated per the following examples: "...as noted (James, 1903, p. 145)." or "...as noted by James (1903, p. 145)." Please ensure that all cited material in the text occurs in the reference section, and vice versa

  3. Any time that co-authors are listed in the references or in the body of the text, use an ampersand ("&") instead of "and" (e.g., "Crane & French ").

  4. Initial capitals (i.e., title case) are to be used for the names of each authors, editors, translators, etc. appearing in the reference section (see below); do not type names in UPPERCASE or ALL CAPS.

  5. Any time that multi-authors are listed in the references, list the names with an ampersand (e.g., “Dennett, D. C., Zahavi, D., & Chalmers, D. J.”). Any time more than five authors are listed in the body of the text, truncate with "et al." rather than listing each name (e.g., "Tanaka et al." rather than "Tanaka, Anderson, Jones, Taylor, Brown, & Davis"). For five or less authors, list each name in the body of the text.

  6. References should generally follow the American Psychological Association style (5th or 6th ed.).

  7. All references are to be contained in the reference section, and should be listed in full; references should not appear in the notes.

  8. Titles/subtitles of books, articles, dissertations, journal names, etc. should not be abbreviated.

  9. Page numbers should be cited in the text for any quotations. Page numbers must be included in the references for all book chapters and journal articles (see examples below).

  10. Utilizing bibliography/reference software programs may create reference files that cannot be edited, so please make sure that all text information is not "read only" or "linked" to other software programs.

Acknowledgements:

　　　

If there are acknowledgments or statements of gratitude, they should be included in the second non-blind version of your manuscript. It helps ensure that there is a blind peer review. In the end, acknowledgements of published manuscripts will be contained in a separate section immediately after the final section of the body of the text.

Notes

  1. PHILOSOPHY & CULTURAL EMBODIMENT utilizes endnotes, rather than footnotes. If there are any notes, they should be contained in a separate section labeled "Notes," immediately prior to the reference section (which comes last).

  2. All notes should be numbered. In text, these note numbers should be superscripted, and outside any punctuation (e.g., "... is certainly correct.2"). In the "Notes" section, note numbers should be plain text.

    3. 　　　　　　　 　　　　

Figures & Tables

  1. Figures should be saved to individual files and uploaded separately from the main document. Please do not embed figures in the file containing the manuscript's complete text.

  2. Tables should be included in the main text, or uploaded in separate Microsoft Word document files. Do not upload or embed tables as an raster image file (tiff, jpg, png, etc.).

  3. Avoid the use of color and tints for purely aesthetic reasons.

  4. Figures must be produced as near to the finished size as possible.

  5. All figures and tables should be numbered in the order in which they appear in the paper (e.g., figure 1, figure 2). In multi-part figures, each part should be labelled (e.g. figure 1(a), figure 1(b)).

  6. Please include captions for all figures and tables (this can be indicated in the main text, or when uploading image files), and indicate where they should be placed in the text (e.g., [FIGURE 1 here], [TABLE 1 here])

  7. Figures can be uploaded in various formats (TIFF, PostScript, EPS, etc.), but a vector format (e.g., a file saved from Excel, Adobe Illustrator, CorelDraw, etc.) would be strongly preferred over a raster format (jpg, tiff, png, etc.). If raster images, or images that are not of high quality are used, we may ask for higher quality images.

    8. 　　　　

Please note that it is in the author's interest to provide the highest quality figure format possible. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any queries.
