A Wiki on Philosophy Journals
Inspired by the Philosophy
Job Market Wiki, I decided to start a wiki that will allow authors, editors,
and referees to share information on philosophy journals: their editorial
practices, response times, backlogs on publishing, policies on providing
comments to authors, etc. There is, I think, a great need for such information,
as in many cases the information provided by the journals themselves on their
own web sites is often outdated or incomplete. A wiki, by the way, is a web
site that allows visitors to easily add, remove, and otherwise edit its
content. So I invite you to share whatever knowledge you have of the editorial
policies and practices of philosophy journals by adding what you know to the
Philosophy Journals Information wiki at http://wikihost.org/wikis/philjinfo/.
If you have information to add, please go this site, read the instructions,
click on the appropriate partial edit icons (they look like tiny pages at the
end of every heading), and then add what you know. And please spread the word
about the wiki. Thanks, Doug.
Thanks for putting this together, Doug!

Doug, thank you so much for putting this together. I hope the collaboration will help produce a number of positive changes.

A query, how far disciplinary-wise does this spread? So for example are bioethics journals such as the Journal of Medical Ethics philosophy journals? What about the less prominent bioethics journals? What about political theory journals?

I would interpret it broadly to include all journals that Ph.D.'s in philosophy would frequently publish in. This would include all the journals that you mention.

Thanks Doug, I thought so, but I thought it better to ask rather than jump first...
Cheers
David

Does anyone know what happened to the philosophy journal wiki? It now says that page hasn't been started. I've become completely dependent on it....

Someone (IP = 60.18.30.229) moved everything, and I don't know how or why, to:
http://wikihost.org/wikis/philjinfo/wiki/2
I've tried, and hopefully succeeded, in moving things back.
