All submissions should be made online at Philosophical Psychology's Manuscript Central site New users should first create an account. Once a user is logged onto the site submissions should be made via the Author Centre.

Authors should prepare and upload two versions of their manuscript. One should be a complete text, while in the second all document information identifying the author should be removed from files to allow them to be sent anonymously to referees. When uploading files authors will then be able to define the non-anonymous version as “File not for review”.

Any problems encountered during manuscript submission process can be directed to ScholarOne Support (support@scholarone.com). For other queries please contact Philosophical Psychology at pp@mechanism.ucsd.edu.

Submissions should not exceed 10,000 words. Proofs for checking will normally be sent to the first author named to whom any correspondence and offprints will also be addressed. Footnotes to the text should be avoided wherever this is reasonably possible. Authors are themselves responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce copyright material from other sources.

Style Please follow recent issues of the journal for style. Download a style guide. Use double quotes for quotations and “scare quotes.” Single quotes for mentioned words, and quotations within quotations. No quotes for normal text: talking about a dog. Single quotes for used text: the mentioned word ‘dog'. Concepts and categories are small caps: the concept DOG. Use American English—not Australian or British English. For parenthetical citations in text, use (Name, 1999, pp. 18–29). If Author named in text, only include date in parentheses (1999). Punctuation goes outside ‘single quotes', inside “double quotes.” Exception for quotations followed by parenthetical citation, where punctuation “follows the reference” (Ref, 1999, pp. 18–29). Em dashes between breaks in sentences—like this. In text: § for section numbers; ch. for chapters, pp. for pages.

References should follow the American Psychological Association system (5th edn), i.e. they should be indicated in the typescript by the author's names, with the year of publication in parentheses, e.g. Smith (1984); or if there are more than two authors—Smith et al. (1984). If several papers from the same author(s) and from the same year are cited, (a), (b), (c), etc. should be put after the year of publication. The references should be listed in full alphabetically at the end of the paper on a separate sheet in the following standard form:
