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 is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
  • The submission file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, RTF, or WordPerfect document file format.
  • Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
  • The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.

  • Authors submitting articles should read the Review Process that will be applied to them.

Author Guidelines

MELINTAS encourages the submission of unsolicited manuscripts. Articles on any aspect of philosophy and theology will be considered. Please confirm that the article is not currently being considered for publication by any other journal. Discussion notes related to articles previously published are welcome. Contributors should send their submissions either in hard copy or by email. If submitting in hard copy, please send three hard copies, which normally will not be returned. If submitting by e-mail, please send your submission to htedjo@unpar.ac.id or melintas@unpar.ac.id. Authors are not required to pay submission fee.

The manuscript should be cleanly typed, one-and-a-half-spaced throughout, and of 4000 to 8000 words length. Authors should provide an abstract of 150 to 200 words, and up to 10 keywords, both in English. Notes should be numbered consecutively. Please check the Reference Guidelines below. 

The Editor wishes to remind authors that all manuscripts are published in gender neutral form.
