Instructions for Authors

Instructions for Authors

Referees and submissions: Articles submitted to Sport, Ethics and Philosophy should be original contributions and should not be under consideration for any other publication at the same time. All submissions should be made online at the Sport, Ethics and Philosophy 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.

Manuscripts submitted for initial consideration need not have a specific format, but they should be typed, double-spaced, and accommodated for anonymous refereeing.

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”.  Authors will also need to include an abstract of the paper that covers the main argument and topic.

Once the paper has been accepted, references will need to follow the Chicago, author - date style. Please find examples listed below:
