1.1. Types of accepted materials. The following types of manuscripts are considered for publication in the HPY: research articles, analytical literature reviews, archival materials, book reviews, scholarly translations. All submissions should be in line with the HPY’s subject matter, i.e. history of philosophy. Submitted manuscript’s inconsistency with the subject matter of the journal or the type of material to be published will be grounds for declining the manuscript.

— For citations use Chicago referencing style, 17th edition, the notes and bibliography system (https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide/citation-guide-1.html). The citation is given in a footnote — in full if the source is cited for the first time; in a shortened form for the second time and thereafter. The form of the bibliographical entry is in some ways different from the form of the citation in footnote (see the "References" section below).
— Citations of large volume (more than 10 words) should be highlighted in the text of the article with an increased indent.
— In English manuscripts use “English double typographic” as the main type of quotation marks and ‘English single typographic’ for quotation within quotation.
In German manuscripts use „German double“ as the main type of quotation marks and ‚German single‘ as for quotation within quotation.
In Russian manuscripts use «Guillemets» as the main type of quotation marks and “English double typographic” for quotation within quotation.
— Use ' – ' sign, aka "middle dash" (en dash, U+2013) as a dash as well as between the range boundaries (for example, "pages 99–101"; "427–347 BC", etc.). Use hyphens (' - ') only within words.
— Do not include a space between initials ("G.E.L. Owen", not "G. E. L. Owen")
— All repeated spaces and unnecessary line breaks should be removed from the text (using Microsoft Word's "find and replace" function).
— For typing in ancient and Eastern languages, fonts that comply with the Unicode standard must be used.
— For English texts or parts of text (e.g. abstracts) you may choose to use either British (authorise, colour, defence etc.) or American (authorize, color, defense etc.) orthopgraphy, but should use it consistently throught the text (you should not spell words both in British (e.g. "colour") and American (e.g. "defense") spellings in the same text).
