Theory and Event publishes original works to showcase critical scholarship that furthers knowledge regarding Philosophy and the Arts and Humanities in all of its diversity. All manuscripts are required to be non-simultaneous submissions and not to exceed 30 (thirty) word-processed, double-spaced pages, or 8,000 words, excluding endnotes and other printed matter. Submissions undergo a preliminary review by the Editor-in-Chief, the Assistant Editor, and, occasionally, one or several members of the Editorial Board. Such submissions should demonstrate engagement with the field of Theory and Event scope, express an appropriate and thorough methodology, and provide new or original argumentation.
Submissions that pass the preliminary review undergo a double-blind peer review process with two or more reviewers. Overall, the manuscripts are evaluated by interest, quality, and originality. More specific criteria include whether or not the submission provides new or significant information, a clear abstract, a comprehensive description of methodology, sound interpretations and conclusions, and adequate references to related work in the field. Reviewers evaluate the submissions according to these criteria and choose one decision among the following decisions: accept, minor revision, major revision, or reject. Authors are generally notified of reviewers’ decisions within 02 weeks. Most of the journal’s accepted publications were initially advised to revise and resubmit; the second or revised submission is often re-reviewed by its original reviewers. The Editor-in-Chief evaluates the final revised submission and makes the ultimate decision on whether or not to accept the manuscript for publication, including the manuscript’s date of publication. The average time of the review process for successful manuscripts, from submission to publication, is 02 months.
