Author Guidelines

Please see full Author Guidelines.

Authors are invited to make a submission to this journal. All submissions will be assessed by an editor to determine whether they meet the aims and scope of this journal. Those considered to be a good fit will be sent for peer review before determining whether they will be accepted or rejected.

Before making a submission, authors are responsible for obtaining permission to publish any material included with the submission, such as photos, documents and datasets. All authors identified on the submission must consent to be identified as an author. Where appropriate, research should be approved by an appropriate ethics committee in accordance with the legal requirements of the study's country.

An editor may desk reject a submission if it is not suitable for the journal.

The title should be concise and the abstract should be able to stand on its own. This will increase the likelihood of reviewers agreeing to review the paper. When you're satisfied that your submission meets this standard, please follow the checklist below to prepare your submission.

Submission Preparation Checklist

All submissions to Film-Philosophy must meet the following requirements.

  • The submission has not been previously published, nor is it being considered for or awaiting publication elsewhere. 
  • The submission file is in Microsoft Word format (.doc or .docx). 
  • The text is double-spaced; uses a 12-point font
  • The submission employs italics for book and film titles, rather than underlining.
  • You have prepared a short author biography as a separate file.
  • The article must begin with a title, a 150 word abstract and 6 keywords (in the submission document itself).
    • The abstract should be a single paragraph with no quotations or citations.
  • Your article is properly referenced using any recognised citation style.
  • Your submission must be anonymised. Do not include your name or contact details in the submission document.

  • This submission is between 7,000 and 10,000 words long including the abstract, footnotes and the bibliography.
    • Book reviews have a maximum of 1,500 words.
  • Authors who use AI tools in their article must disclose how the AI tool was used and which tool was used (including, but not limited to, text generation, image generation, translation, text editing, and bibliography generation). Authors are fully responsible for the content of their manuscript, even those parts produced by an AI tool, and are thus liable for any breach of publication ethics.
