Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.

  • The submission has not been previously published, nor has it been submitted to another journal for consideration.

  • Articles should be about 6,000 to 10,000 words long, including notes and references. The manuscript should include an abstract of no more than 200 words.

  • Manuscripts should be submitted as MS Word files in .doc format, double-spaced. Citations should follow the notes and bibliography system of The Chicago Manual of Style.

  • Manuscripts should be prepared for blind review. The article itself should contain no reference to the author’s identity. Prajñā Vihāra: Journal of Philosophy and Religion subscribes to a double blind review process, in which both author and reviewer remain unknown to one another.

  • The journal publishes articles in an essay format rather than a research format.
