Notes for Authors

All submissions are to be sent as e-mail attachments (Word document) directly to the following email address: culture.dialogue@airiti.com. Papers judged to be potentially appropriate for publication are then sent to two or three members of the Editorial Board for blind reviewing. After the final decision authors receive notifications of approval, approval provided that some amendments are made, or refusal.

The blind reviewing process allows selections of papers to be based on quality and topical relevance only, and not on academic ranking, hierarchy, or institutional prestige. The same applies to the ways papers are sequenced and organised in the journal. This procedure is to ensure and maintain the highest possible academic standard of the journal.

No poorly phrased or incoherently constructed papers will be considered. It is the responsibility of authors to have their work proofread by native speakers before they submit it to be considered for publication.

Papers should normally be between 5000 and 10000 words in length and written according to the specifications of The Chicago Manual of Style (www.chicagomanualofstyle.org). ALL and COMPLETE references are to be given in footnotes and, when appropriate, illustrations should have their source acknowledged. The length of footnotes should be reasonable. Please do not use [op.cit.]. Titles of books, journals, and artefacts should appear in italics. Book chapters and journal papers should appear in quotation marks.

Example of book references in footnotes:

1. Gabriel Marcel, Music and Philosophy, trans. Stephen Maddux (Milwaukee, WI: Marquette
University Press), 133.
2. Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism (Orlando: Harcourt, 1966), 12-17.
3. Marcel, Music and Philosophy, 23 and 104.
4. Ibid., 247.


Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce textual or visual sources.

All submissions should come with a cover page containing the following information:

. Manuscript title

. Manuscript summary (around 150 words)

. The full name of the author

. The affiliation of the author (if any)

. A short biographical note (around 60 words)


The identity of the author must not appear anywhere but on the cover page, as the manuscript is to be blind reviewed.

The manuscript submitted must not be under consideration by any other publisher at the same time and should not normally have been already published.

Successful submissions will be published both in print and electronically.
