The Yale Philosophy Review

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

The Yale Philosophy Review (YPR) publishes philosophical writing by undergraduate students. In addition to academic papers, we will publish short stories, poems, book reviews, and more exotic forms of narrative that speak to philosophical questions. We solicit pieces from undergraduates worldwide.

Accepted manuscripts will be published on an open-access basis. No payment is required for submission or publication.

For all submisions

• The author of the submission must have been an undergraduate at the time of writing.
• The submission must not have been published in a journal in its current form. However, we consider submissions that have been circulated online or presented at a conference.
• The manuscript itself must not have any identifying information (your name, university, etc). The only exception are non-traditional submissions in which the identifying information is incorporated in the piece.

For academic submissions

• The submission must be single-spaced in a 12-point font and adhere to the Chicago Manual of Style (endnotes and bibliography).
• The submission must be no more than 7,500 words long. However, we understand that length and quality are often not positively correlated. We therefore accept submissions well below the 7,500 word limit.

For non-traditional submissions

• The submission must be no more than 7,500 words long. However, we understand that length and quality are often not positively correlated. We therefore accept submissions well below the 7,500 word limit. Submit a haiku if you¡¯d like.
