What is the relationship between the journal Ontology and the e-book publisher Online Originals?
The journal Ontology is a creation of the e-book publishers Online Originals. The aim is the same: to publish on the basis of merit rather than commercial return. Our experience with e-book publishing has already confirmed that there is a reservoir of superb writing that is not receiving the attention it deserves, due to the absence of conventional publishers ready to devote time to reading and producing uncommercial work. We have no reason to believe that the same does not apply to articles and essays.
What is the submissions process for proposed new articles?
Simply click on 'Submissions' at the top of this window and fill in the form. A space is provided for pasting in the entire text of your proposed article. Follow the same manuscript formatting rules as you would use for e-book submissions. There are two additional formatting rules for articles: (28) All Ontology articles must be written in English. And (29) References in the text should appear by name and publication date [Russell: 1903], and the works to which they refer should appear in a bibliography at the end of the article and should be set out in alphabetical and chronological order, for example: Russell, B, (1903), 'The Principles of Mathematics', Cambridge University Press, Cambridge. Russell, B, (1921) 'The Analysis of Mind', Allen & Unwin, London. Strawson, P, (1951), 'Individuals', Methuen, London.
What topics are of interest to the editors of Ontology?
Basically, the journal is ready to publish any material that the editors are competent to understand and evaluate, and which they deem to have sufficient quality. The twin thematic pillars of the journal will be literature and philosophy, both terms understood in the broadest possible sense. Priority will be accorded to articles that open up original and interesting new perspectives on human being and being. Clarity in the organisation of the material and the ability to make difficult matters accessible to a general readership will be especially appreciated. |
