Stance
An International Undergraduate Philosophy Journal
Submission Guidelines:
Stance welcomes papers concerning any philosophical topic. Current
undergraduates may submit papers between 1500 and 3500 words in length
(exclusive of notes and bibliography). Papers should avoid unnecessary
technicality and strive to be accessible to the widest possible
audience without sacrificing clarity or rigor. They are evaluated on
the following criteria: depth of inquiry, quality of research,
creativity, lucidity, and originality. For more specific guidelines
see the website at http://stance.iweb.bsu.edu.
Submission Procedures:
• Manuscripts should be in Microsoft Word format and sent as an
attachment to stance@bsu.edu
• Manuscripts should be double spaced (including quotations, excerpts,
and footnotes)
• The right margin should not be justified
• To facilitate our anonymous review process, submissions are to be
prepared for blind review. Include a cover page with the author's
name, affiliation, title, and email address. Papers, including
footnotes, should have no other identifying markers.
• Footnotes should use the author-date format found in The Chicago
Manual of Style.
• Please use American spellings and punctuation, except when directly
quoting a source that has followed British style.

Call for External Reviewers
Stance: An International Undergraduate Philosophy Journal
Stance is looking for interested undergraduate philosophy students to
serve as external reviewers for this year's issue. This is an exciting
opportunity to gain experience working for a groundbreaking journal in
the field of philosophy, as well as a chance to hone your skills in
writing and reviewing philosophy papers.
Participation in this project will require a moderate level of
experience in philosophy, strengths in writing and editing, as well as
a sufficient degree of self-motivation necessary to complete the work
by the given deadlines. We anticipate that each external reviewer will
be sent one or two papers to review in late December or early January.
It is possible that a reviewer will be asked to review one or two
further submissions later in the spring if a particular piece requires
further consideration. If accepted as an external reviewer, training
material will be provided that will explain what is expected in the
formal review. Reviewers will also be credited in both the print and
electronic versions of the journal.
If you are interested, please provide us with the following information:
