CALL FOR PAPERS
Issue #3 (summer 2009)
Deadline: May 31st
The HUMANICUS academic journal is accepting new essays for the upcoming 3rd issue (approx. time of publishing: summer 2009).
Humanicus is an academic journal concentrating on social sciences, humanities and philosophy, at the address www.humanicus.org. Technically, essays that can be classified as belonging to any social science are accepted for review and potential publishing. For now, we are accepting works in following areas:
Linguistics (general linguistics, English studies, Serbocroatian studies, Swedish studies, Chinese studies)
Culture studies (sometimes referred to as culturology) and anthropology
Sociology
Philosophy
As the number of our reviewers grows, so will the count of the areas for which we accept essays. The concept of Humanicus is, in its ideal form, to publish essays in
any and all world languages. In practice, that means that articles shall be accepted for review and publishing in those languages for which we at the moment have proofreaders for. We naturally hope that the number of the languages will grow during time. For the time being, we are accepting articles in English, Serbo-Croatian, Bulgarian, Swedish, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian and Chinese (Mandarin). As the number of languages grows, we will post information on the web page.
Humanicus is an electronic journal. The newest issue will always be downloadable in a .pdf format from this address, for free, as it is the opinion of the editor and the reviewing board that academic education should be available to all, not only to those with a deep pocket.
The journal comprises three parts:
1) The standard academic essay section
In this section, standard academic essays shall be published. Holders of any and all academic degrees are invited to submit their papers, in accordance with the current call for papers.
2) Reviews
Reviews of relevant books, essays, articles, even fiction books are accepted in this section.
3) The student section
Maybe even the most important of sections, the student section will concentrate on students, those who still have not achieved official academic expertise and still haven't received an academic title. The general idea is to promote academic writing amongst students. The level of expertise for academic writing is not easy to achieve, and students are seldom encouraged to write academically. This section
should help students in honing their writing skills during the course of their studies. We invite all students (especially final-year students, seniors) to send us their essays. The essays shall be reviewed by a member of the reviewing board in accordance with the topic, after which the essay shall be sent back to the student with ideas and comments about how to make the essay better. Once the student has corrected the essay, he or she will resubmit, after which the review board will choose whether it will be published or not.
Instructions for contributors:
Works should be sent in a .doc format (MS Word) as an attachment. Hard-copied submissions are not accepted.
The essay should be sent to editor@humanicus. org.
Every essay should have a short summary (not longer than 300 words), located on the front page, with the name of the author and his academic degree(s).
The scope of the work can vary from subject to subject. We recommend to our contributors, however, that they should stick to an approximate number of 10 to 25 author-type pages – 1.5 lines spacing. Reviews should be kept under five pages.
The essay should be formatted in the following way:
Font Times New Roman or Ariel, size 12
Paper format A4 (for contributors from the USA or Canada: please do not use the LETTER format!)
Spacing 1.5
Quoting/citing: Do not use the Chicago style. Instead, the Turabian method is encouraged:
Dawkins, Richard. The God Delusion. Boston: Houghton Mifflin Co, 2006.
Please use footnotes rather than endnotes.
Though we completely understand that matter, in science, is more important than form, please keep the essay consistent with itself, e.g. use one method of citing throughout the essay and make the essay as clear and accessible for reading/reviewing as possible.
