Scope of the Journal

ARTS and NEUROSCIENCES REVIEW is a twice-yearly electronic journal. It publishes original articles and reviews which focused on the conflux of aesthetic, philosophical and neuroscientific issues. Each issue adresses a specific topic and includes invited papers and peer-reviewed submissions answering a call for papers.

 

Criteria of Acceptance

ANR accepts the presentation of papers in French and in English on the condition that they have not been published previously, and that they are not being submitted for publication elsewhere, unless they are expressly invited or agreed by the Editorial Board; The Editorial Board may recommend the translation of an article from another publication if it is particularly relevant. Texts answering a call for paper have to meet the criteria specified below and should be sent to the editor in chief (emma2006ATarts-neurosciences.org) and to an executive editor to be mentionned. Empirical studies in cognitive science is especially encouraged, provided they include some substantial theoretical discussion and empahize the philosophical interest of the reported results. Texts submitted in appropriate form are reviewed by the Editor and blind-reviewed by two anonymous experts designated by the Editorial Board. Authors are usually informed within a week if the paper is not being considered. In all cases, Editorial Board shall do anything possible to ensure that authors receive a rapid response (typically several weeks from having received the original). Members of the Editorial Board of the ANR can only published introductions, reviews or including remarks for single issues as guest editors. Papers that are irrelevant to the topic announced in the call for papers may be returned to the author without formal review.

Formatting

Language
The language of ANR is English and French.

Length
The original papers should be no longer than 8000 words for articles, 200 words for abstracts, 2000 words for reviews and 500 words for notes.

Formats
Authors are invited to use Microsoft Word Format so long as the document is saved as an RTF.

Level heading
Authors may use up three levels of headings (excluding the title header), which are numbered and formatted as follows:

Table, Graphics and Images
Tables, Graphics and images should be both embedded in the text at the appropriate place and sent in a separate file, numbered and referenced. We would recommend that there not be more than 10. Tables should be numbered using Roman numerals (Table I) and images or graphics with Arabic numbers (Figure 1.).

Footnotes
Please use footnotes rather than endnotes. Long footnotes (more than three lines) are discouraged. Footnotes should go in the page footer and use Arabic numbers. Footnotes refrence numbers in the text should be placed after any punctuation.

Quotations
Quotations should be included in the main text in double quotation marks. For example:

"The problem of structure in Tristram Shandy has been complicated by Sterne's term "digressive method" (Cash 1955 p.125)."

Comments or alterations to the quoted texts are to be inserted into square brackets.Quotations of over three lines should be indented without quotation marks. For example:

We do not see the stars at day, yet they are there. This can only be because the lustre added by their brightness to the enormous sunlight already existing is too significant ever to appear visible to our eyes; it is lost below our differential threshold. In so extreme an instance the difference between the current view of the threshold and the one here advocated becomes theoretical only; but that does not lessen its importance. (Jastrow 1888 p.299)

References
References appearing in the text should include the name of the author(s), if necessary the initial of the first name for disambiguation, if possible the page numbers after the year followed by a comma, and the publication year in brackets. For example:

(Descartes 1637) argues that...

(Damasio A. 1994 p.42) argues that...

When the context makes clear which publication is referred to, reference to page numbers should be made without mentionning the authors and the year. For example:

pp.210-13)

Bibliography
The bibliography should be presented in line with the ISO 690:1987 standard [International Standard Organisation. Information and documentation - Bibliographic references (content, form and structure)] for documents on paper and the ISO 690-2: 1997 standard for electronic documents.

Bibliographic references are collected at the end of the text in alphabetical order of the author's family name, then by the year of the publications, with the most recent publication appearing at the bottom of the list, as shown in the following example:
