D. Instruction to the contributor?

RJP welcomes contributions in all fields of Philosophy. However, it would like its contributor to focus on what she considersbeing significantly new and important in what she has to say and to consider the counter arguments to what she is saying. This is to ensure that what she is saying is on the whole more reasonable than the views opposed to her own. The historical preliminaries may be avoided unless they are absolutely necessary to the development of the argument, as it may be assumed that most of the readers of the Journal are already familiar with them. Reference and quotations are generally to be avoided except in an article that is specifically exegetical.

The articles which use Sanskrit terms should use the standard diacritical marks, a specimen list of which is given.

Only papers which have not been published elsewhere will be considered.

Proof will be sent to the author if there is sufficient time to do so. It should be corrected and returned to the Journal at the address within ten days. Major alterations to the text cannot be accepted.

Copyright and Ethics

A. Publication Ethics and Publication Malpractice Statement

RJP is committed to meet the highest ethical standards in research and academic publication. The journal is guided by the following principles:

Responsibilities of the Editorial Board

The Editorial Board ensures that manuscripts are prepared for blind peer-review. It is the responsibility of the Editorial Board to accept, reject, or recommend a manuscript for revision and resubmission. Such decision is based, to a large extent, on the recommendations of nominated experts who act as referees. It is the responsibility of the Editorial Board to inform an author about the status of her submission, regardless of the decision. The Editorial Board may choose to reject a paper that violates legal provisions on libel, copyrights, and originality (plagiarism). Information regarding a manuscript under review must remain confidential until it is finally accepted for publication. The Editorial Board does not necessarily endorse the views expressed in the articles published in the journal. RJP does not charge any fees to complete the publication process. No charges are levied against the author for submission or article processing.

Responsibilities of the Referee

The referees nominated by RJP’s Editorial Board are experts in their areas of specialization. The referees assist the Editorial Board’s decision to accept, reject, or revise and resubmit manuscripts based on their objective assessments and recommendations. A referee must treat an assigned manuscript with utmost confidentially during the peer-review process; however, it is the responsibility of the referee to inform the Editorial Board when a legal violation by the author is suspected. The evaluation of a manuscript should be based solely on its academic merit and not on race, gender, sexuality, or religious and/or political orientation of the author.

Responsibilities of the Author

It is the responsibility of the author to prepare her manuscript for blind review. The author must ensure that her work is original and not plagiarized. The sources used in the manuscript should be properly cited. An author must not submit the same manuscript to another journal when it is currently under review by RJP. It is the responsibility of an author to inform the Editorial Board right away if her manuscript is being considered in another journal or publication medium; in such case, RJP will discontinue the review of the manuscript. If an author's manuscript is published by RJP, she must adhere to the provisions set in the copyrights page of the journal.

B. Copyright

Copyright to articles published in the Journal shall remain vested with the Journal. The author may republish her work upon the condition that RJP is acknowledged as the original publisher. RJP and the Department of Philosophy of the Ravenshaw University do not necessarily endorse the views expressed in the articles published.
