1. Headings

Articles and discussions should be clearly headed on the first page with the title of the piece. No other headers should be included.

Reviews should be headed by the book title (in bold and italics), followed by the name(s) of the author(s), place of publication, publisher, year, and number of pages, thus:

Remnants of Meaning, by Stephen Schiffer. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 1987. Pp. xi + 303.

Reviews should conclude with the author’sname, institution, and email address, in the following format:

AUTHOR NAME

Author’s Institution

2. Citationof references

All works cited should be listed at the end of the article (in the style detailed below in §2),and internal references to them should normally be by author and date.

Reference information for non-displayed quotations should be enclosed in parentheses within the relevantsentence (inside the full stop closing the sentence, if it is given at the end). For example: Quine claims that ‘the points of condensation in the primordial conceptual scheme are things glimpsed, not glimpses’ (Quine 1960, p. 1).

Reference information for displayed quotations should follow the quoted text in parentheses, withoutterminal punctuation.

Entification begins at arm’s length; the points of condensation in the primordial conceptual scheme are things glimpsed, not glimpses. In this there is little cause for wonder. Each of us learns his language from other people, through the observable mouthing of words under conspicuously intersubjective circumstances. (Quine 1960, p. 1)

For further details on short and longer quotations, see §§5 and 6below.

3.Sample references section

This is a sample only, though it would help if you could conform as closely as possible to this. The watchword, however, is consistency.

4.Quotationmarks

Please use ‘smart’ quotation marks instead of straight quotation marks. Single quotation marks should be used inall cases, including mentioning and the use of ‘scare quotes’, except for occurrences within other single quotation marks, inwhich case double quotation marks should be used, as in the following example: Bernard Williams refers to ‘the observation under standard conditions of what the Oxford philosopher J.L. Austin used to call “middle-sized dry goods”’ (Williams 2006, p. 134). Closingquotation marks are placed before commas, full stops, etc. as follows: ‘London’, ‘is pretty’, and ‘not’.

5.Short quoted passages

Short quotations (up to around thirty words in length) may appear in the body of your text. The referenceinformation should be given in parentheses after the closing quotation mark and before the full stop. For example: Deleuze claims that ‘diversity is given, but difference is that by which the given is given’ (Deleuze 1994, p. 222).

6.Longer quoted passages

Longer quotations of around thirty words or more should appear as displayed, indented material, precededand succeeded by an extra line space, and should not be enclosed in quotation marks. The reference for thesource of the quotation should appear as part of the indented material and should follow the full stop (orany other ending punctuation mark).

This would be just like the first thoughts of Copernicus, who, when he did not make good progress in the explanation of the celestial motions if he assumed that the entire celestial host revolves around the observer, tried to see if he might not have greater success if he made the observer revolve and left the stars at rest. (Kant 1998, Bxvi)

Any emphasis in the quotation should be identified after the reference as either belonging to the original or added, as the case may be, thus: (Lewis 1986, p. 133, emphasis in original) or (Lewis 1986, p. 133, emphasis added).

7.Footnotes

Footnotes should not be used for the routine citation of references: these should be incorporated into the text. Footnotes should not be unduly long. Please try to avoid placing footnotes, particularly long footnotes, close together, as this makes it very difficult—and sometimesimpossible—to retain footnotes on the same page as their tags. Where footnotes are tagged to the end of asentence, the tag should appear after the full stop.

Reviews should contain no footnotes.

Acknowledgements can be included. In the case of anyarticle other than a review, these should be contained in a footnote after the final sentence (and not at the title). In the case of a review, there should be an asterisk after the final sentence and the acknowledgements should be included on a separate line, after the author’s name, institution, and e-mail address, and preceded by their own asterisk. For example:

... should read this extraordinary book.*

Author’s Institution

8.Sectionswithinarticles

Sections are to be numbered using Arabic numerals as in this Guide. For example:

3.Notealsotheuse of bold and the capitalizationconvention

Sections within sections should be titled in italics, separated from the preceding, but not the succeeding text, thus:

3.1 Sub-section title

This is the first sub-section within §3.

Sections (or examples, cases, etc.) within sub-sections should be in italics, separated from the preceding,with the text of the sub-sub-section following after the title, thus:

3.1.1 Sub-sub-section title The text follows immediately after the heading like this.

9.Citingasectionofyourarticle

For references to sections or sub-sections within your MIND article use ‘§’ followed by the number.

10.Displayedmaterial

Numbered or labelled propositions for discussion should be indented and separated from thesurrounding text by an additional line space, with the number or label in parentheses. Where these are adverted to in the text,the parentheses should be retained in all cases, for example: ‘as entailed by (3) and principle (P) above’.

11. Consistency

Whatever conventions you use (for references, spelling, etc.), be consistent.

12. Abstract

For articles and discussions, please supply an abstract not exceeding 200 words. Discussion abstracts should be kept brief.

13. Preparationoftypescript

Electronic submission of final versions is required. Please send both (i) a Microsoft Word, RTF, orLaTeX version for upload to typesetting and (ii) a PDF to confirm layout, special characters, etc. Pleaseensure that the PDF accurately reproduces the text as you intend it (including special symbols etc.). Pleaseensure that the PDF is prepared from the same final version as the submitted non-PDF version, except thatpage numbers, headers, and footers should not appear in the non-PDF electronic version. Articles, critical notices, and discussions (but not reviews) shouldbe headed by the title in bold with significant words given upper case initials, followed by the author’sname, institution, and email address, in the following format:

The Title in Bold

AUTHOR NAME

Author’s Institution

In the case of critical notices the title should be followed by a colon, and the words “A Critical Notice of” followed by the book’s title and the name of the author, as follows:

The Title in Bold: A Critical Notice of Title, by Author
