Call for Papers
Lokāyata: Journal of Positive Philosophy (ISSN 2249-8389)
Respected
Faculty/Scholar,
I would like
to invite all academicians from all disciplines to contribute research papers
and articles for our journal. Lokāyata: Journal of Positive Philosophy
(ISSN 2249-8389) is a
bi-annual an online interdisciplinary journal of the Center for Positive
Philosophy and Interdisciplinary Studies (CPPIS). The name Lokāyata can be
traced to Kautilya's Arthashastra, which refers to three ānvīkṣikīs (logical philosophies), Yoga, Samkhya and Lokāyata. Lokāyata here still
refers to logical debate (disputatio, "criticism") in general
and not to a materialist doctrine in particular. The objectives of the journal
are to encourage new thinking on concepts and theoretical frameworks in the
disciplines of humanities and social sciences to disseminate such new ideas and
research papers (with strong emphasis on modern implications of philosophy)
which have broad relevance in society in general and man’s life in particular.
The Centre publishes two issues of the journal every year. Each regular issue
of the journal will contain full-length papers, discussions and comments, book
reviews, information on new books and other relevant academic information. Each
issue contains about 100 pages.
Format of Submission: The paper should be typewritten preferably in Times New Roman with 12
font size (English) and Kruti Dev (10) with 14 font size (Hindi) in MS-Word
2003 to 2010 and between 2500 to 3000
words. They should be typed on one side of the paper, double spaced with ample
margins. The authors should submit the hard copy along with a CD and a
copyright form to be sent to the editorial address.
Originality
of Work: Only papers which have not been published elsewhere will be considered.
Proofs will be sent to the authors if there is sufficient time to do so. An
undertaking via a “Forwarding
Letter” be submitted alongwith the
paper.
Time Line:
The last dates of submission of the manuscript are
as follows: For April to
September Issue: 31st August every year.
For October to March Issue: 31st January every year.
Reference
Style: Notes and references should appear at the end of the
research paper/chapter. Citations in the text and references must correspond to
each other; do not over reference by giving the obvious/old classic studies or
the irrelevant. CPPIS follows The
Chicago Manual of Style, 16th Edition. The Chicago Manual of Style presents two
basic documentation systems: (1) notes and bibliography and (2) author-date.
Choosing between the two often depends on subject matter and the nature of
sources cited, as each system is favored by different groups of scholars. The
notes and bibliography style is preferred by many in the humanities. The
author-date system has long been used by those in the physical, natural, and
social sciences. CPPIS follows the first system i.e. Notes and Bibliography. For detail information downloads our
