Anyone is welcome to submit an article or book review to Problemi. We prefer that you submit articles or book reviews in English, but you may also submit them in Russian, Finnish, Swedish, Serbian, Croatian, Slovenian or Bulgarian. Articles and book reviews submitted in English will have priority in being considered for publication.
Members of the Problemi editorial board review all articles submitted. Pre-selected articles are then subjected to a double-blind peer review. Reviewers can recommend that articles be approved for publication but revised or substantially revised and resubmitted.
All submissions should be sent electronically as Microsoft Word attachments to analecta@drustvo-dtp.si with the subject line “Article submission” or “Book review submission.” If you are submitting an article for a particular thematic issue (i.e., in response to a call for papers), you should also mention the issue’s title in the subject line.
Articles must be double-spaced and no longer than 10 000 words.
Book reviews may concern one book or monograph or several works in philosophy and social or political theory. They must be double-spaced and no longer than 1000-1500 words. The following information should be given about the book being reviewed at the start of each review: Author / Editor Name, Book Title, Publisher, Year of Publication, Number of Pages.
You should document sources by using in-text citations keyed to a complete list of references at the end of your article or book review.
