Publication Policy

  1. Once an article is submitted for publication in the journal, no author’s name may be removed from the author list, no new author may be added, and the order of authors cannot be changed without the written consent of all authors.
  2. Mebadi International Journal of Philosophy is a non-profit academic periodical in the field of philosophy. It operates with the primary objectives of generating, developing, and disseminating knowledge for the public good, based on scientific data. Editors, reviewers, and authors involved in the publication process of Mebadi International Journal of Philosophy are required to participate in the journal’s activities in accordance with international ethical principles, grounded in universal human rights and followed in scientific research.
  3. All works submitted for publication must be consistent with scientific knowledge and methodologies, respect fundamental human and animal rights, maintain impartiality, and be conducted with integrity. Only philosophy articles that meet these criteria will be considered for evaluation by the editorial board.
  4. Mebadi International Journal of Philosophy is a peer-reviewed electronic journal, published at least twice a year, in June and December. The journal welcomes submissions of translations of scientific and original articles, philosophical commentaries and critiques, as well as book/article reviews that are directly or indirectly related to the field of philosophy.
  5. Submitted articles are initially reviewed by the Publication Commission. They are then sent to two referees for content and format evaluation. If the evaluations from the two referees conflict, with one providing a positive review and the other a negative one, the article will be sent to a third reviewer. The identities of the reviewers and authors remain confidential throughout the review process.
  6. To ensure anonymity, authors should not include any personal information in the initial submission. Instead, author details should be provided in a separate Word file.
  7. Mebadi International Journal of Philosophy follows a double-anonymous peer review policy, where neither the referees nor the authors are informed of each other's identity.
  8. Based on the referees' reports, a decision will be made to either publish the article, request revisions from the author, or reject the article. The opinions expressed in the published articles are those of the authors and do not reflect the views of the journal. The responsibility for the content rests entirely with the authors.
  9. All rights to the articles published in the journal are reserved. Articles may not be reproduced in any form without proper citation of the journal’s name and issue number.
  10. In multi-author publications, researchers are encouraged to provide a statement of contribution, support, acknowledgment, and conflict of interest.
  11. Authors may submit original works that have not been published elsewhere to Mebadi International Journal of Philosophy. If any deviation from this rule is detected at any stage of the publication process, the manuscript will be rejected, and the author will be informed. Authors are obligated to strictly adhere to universal ethical standards in their research, particularly regarding data usage, referencing, and citation practices. Failure to properly cite sources or the use of misleading information is considered unethical. All sources used in the manuscript must be accurately referenced within the text and in the bibliography, which is the responsibility of the author.
