How we work

The UCPR (ucprboard@gmail.com) is always taking submissions for our blog. Some of the submissions we receive will be reserved for print.

The kinds of submissions we are looking to publish in print are:

• In-depth, well argued, interesting, philosophically inclined papers
• Book reviews
• Philosophically inspired art
• Philosophical dialogues and fictions

The kinds of submissions we are looking to publish online are:

• Interviews and profiles
• Philosophy news
• Philosophical explainers
• Point-counterpoint debates
• Short thinkpieces
• Audio and video submissions
• Most things! If it’s philosophy-related, send it our way

The publication process goes something like this:

• We receive a submission
• The editor-in-chiefs screen submissions for discussion
• Selected submissions will be placed into either the “paper” or “multimedia” categories
• The editors and deputy editor for that category will discuss the submission
• If the submissions is approved, that section editor will work with their team to compile the materials needed for publication, such as art, research, edits, references, etc.
• The section editor will send the finalized submission to the editors
• The editors make final changes and publish the article
