Submissions policy
The editors welcome submissions from all fields of philosophy, humanities and social sciences, which concern historical or contemporary figures of the pragmatist tradition or aim at developing and applying their ideas in different fields of study.
Monographs and collections of articles by an individual or several authors, as well as doctoral dissertations and research reports shorter than usual monographs can be submitted for consideration to the series. Collections of papers already published can also be considered, if the author has withheld copyright or will receive permission for republication.
Submissions suitable for publication in the series are peer-reviewed, and authors can expect to receive a response within two to three months from submission, with accepted volumes published within three to four months after the editors have received a revised manuscript prepared for typesetting.

The volumes published in the series are usually licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial license (currently 3.0 Unported). This means everyone is allowed to redistribute and adapt the work for non-commercial purposes. The author will retain the copyright, including the right to republication of the work.

References
Both in-text references and list of references should follow the American Psychological Association's publication manual (see http://apastyle.apa.org/).
