Publication Ethics and Publication Malpractice Statement
Dia-noesis: A Journal of Philosophy is a peer-reviewed journal committed to ensuring the highest standards of publication ethics. All parties involved in the act of publishing (editors, authors, reviewers and the publisher) have to agree upon standards of ethical behavior. We state the following principles of Publication Ethics and Publication Malpractice Statement based on the Code of Conduct and Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors of the Committee on Publication Ethics – COPE (available at http://publicationethics.org/).
Peer review process
All of a journal’s content should be subjected to peer-review. Articles submitted for possible publication are subjected to a double-blind, peer review process. Articles are first reviewed by editors. The editor may reject it out of hand either because it is not dealing with the subject matter for that journal or because it is manifestly of a low quality so that it cannot be considered at all. Articles that are found suitable for review are then sent to two experts in the field of the paper. Referees of a paper are unknown to each other. Referees are asked to classify the paper as publishable immediately, publishable with amendments and improvements, or not publishable. Referees’ evaluations usually include an explicit recommendation of what to do with the manuscript.
Responsibilities of the Editor and Editorial Board of Dia-noesis: A Journal of Philosophy
The editor and the editorial
board of Dia-noesis: A Journal of Philosophy are responsible for
- deciding which of the manuscripts submitted to the journal should be
published. In making these decisions, they are guided by the policies of
the journal (http://dianoesis-journal.blogspot.com/p/submission-guidelines.html)
and by legal requirements regarding libel, copyright infringement and
plagiarism;
- providing guidance to guest editors, authors and reviewers on
everything that is expected of them and also a description of peer review
processes;
- providing new editorial board members with guidelines on everything
that is expected of them and keeping existing members updated on new
policies and developments;

intellectual merit, without regard to the author(s)’ race, age, gender,
sexual orientation, disability, ethnic origin, religious belief,

manuscripts and that all information related to them is kept confidential.
They also ensure that both authors’ and peer reviewers’ identities are

appropriate co-authors are included in the author list of the manuscript,
