Author Guidelines

By submitting your manuscript to Science and Society, you declare that the manuscript reflects original work, has not been previously published or accepted for publication, and is not currently under review for publication elsewhere, either in whole or in part, whether in Greek, English, or another language. The only exception is a conference paper, where the paper is work in progress toward the manuscript submitted to Science and Society. 

As soon as a manuscript is approved the authors cannot publish it elsewhere. Future re-publication is contingent upon the Editors’ permission.

Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work.

Authors should avoid self-citation that might violate the double-blind review process. Self-identifying information that is required should be placed in the Acknowledgements section (which is not forwarded to the Reviewers) and also inform the Editors of the journal.

When responding to a review, author(s) should submit a letter outlining the changes implemented to the manuscript in response to the reviewers and editors’ suggestions. 

Scholars who submit their manuscript to Science and Society will also be invited to review for the journal.

The review of invited articles to be hosted in special issues submitted to the journal is the responsibility of guest editors. The Editors may also access and review invited articles.

Manuscripts can be submitted as a word/mac document. Manuscript length cannot exceed 7000 words, including abstract, text, footnotes bibliography, tables, figures and appendices. Critical commentaries, research notes and literature reviews cannot exceed 2000 words. Maximum length of book reviews and book presentations is 1000 words.

Manuscripts submitted for review should not contain information that could identify the author(s).

Information about the author(s) should only appear on the title page. This should contain the author(s)s name, followed by short title and professional affiliation (i.e. Philosophy Lecturer, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki) and contact address.

Submitted manuscripts should be accompanied by a short abstract (about 150 words) and 3-5 keywords in both Greek and English.

Notes, when used, should appear in the form of footnotes. The Bibliography section should contain only references which are used in text.

References in parenthetical citations should be ordered alphabetically, and should be as follows: : Barry (1990: 144) or (Barry 1990: 144, Santori 1996: 87-8). The full reference should be provided in the Bibliography as:
