Information for Authors
Global Conversations is a peer-reviewed, open-access, reader-centered, electronic journal
accepting high quality articles in philosophy, humanities, social sciences, or other fields,
which advance the idea of global cultural awareness, exchange, and conversation broadlyconstrued. It is a philosophical journal in the broadest sense of the term understood as inclusiveof all humanistic knowledge. It is open to any viewpoint, school orientation, intellectual trend,or cultural tradition. It welcomes in-depth philosophical and theoretical discussions of relevant
issues, as well as texts on issues in comparative philosophy, critical theory, art criticism, crosscultural investigations, interdisciplinary research, or transcultural studies.
Articles are evaluated in terms of their merit, rather than size, though ones longer than 20, 000
words or shorter than 4,000 words are generally discouraged. Article styling is in accordancewith the Chicago Manual of Style (footnotes only), with main text 1.15-spaced, 12pt Times
New Roman font, justified, one space after sentence, indented first line of each new paragraph(excepting the opening paragraphs of sections and divisions), without space between
paragraphs; footnotes and block quotations with 10pt font, block quotations indented 1 cm
from both left and right, same styling and spacing. References to sources used need to beplaced after each quote (whether direct or indirect) and to contain the required information,
sufficiently precise for the reader to look them up. The first time use of titles of texts, as wellas names of authors and organizations, is always in full. Sequential references to the same
source are indicated by ‘Ibid.’, followed by page number(s), (even if the latter are the same asin the previous reference). Non-sequential references to previously used source are indicatedby the name(s) of the author(s), followed the main (or possibly abbreviated) title of the text
and page number(s). The page number(s) provided need to point to the specific place of thequotes in the overall source (it is not sufficient to give only the first and last page numbers of
the entire publication). When used in place of page number(s), website addresses need not berepeated after the first time. Structurally, the connections between sentences in paragraphs,paragraphs in sections, and sections in the whole text are expected to be immediately evidential
and understandable for readers outside author’s specific area of expertise. Authors are
expected to adhere to gender-inclusive and diversity-sensitive language. Authors who do not
