Guidelines

1. Topics

TRIẾT: A Journal of Philosophy and Ideas (TJPI) accept original articles and translations focusing on philosophical topics, with a particular emphasis on Vietnamese issues and subjects related to Vietnam.

2. Publication

- TJPI publishes three online issues annually, in March, July, and November (specific release dates may vary).

- Additionally, TJPI publishes special hard-copy issues with limited print runs, the topics of which are selected by the journal's Editorial Board and Board of Advisors. These special issues will have their own individual Call for Papers.

3. Languages

- TJPI publishes primarily articles in Vietnamese. However, to promote philosophical discourse in Vietnam, manuscripts written in English or Chinese on topics related to philosophy and thought of Vietnamese or in Vietnam are also accepted.

- Manuscripts should be presented in academic language, maintaining objectivity and scholarly rigor, with appropriate arguments and evidence provided, while avoiding subjective, biased, sensitive, discriminative, insulting, or arbitrary language.

4. Reference and Format

- To facilitate online publication, TJPI recommends authors use footnotes for citations.

- Each research article submitted must include the following components: an abstract (not exceeding 100 words), keywords (4-6 words), a reference list (in APA7 or Chicago style), and author information (name, institutional affiliations if applicable, and contact details of the corresponding author).

- TJPI only accepts manuscripts in editable formats, such as Microsoft Word files (.doc, .docx, .rtf).

5. Other Specific Regulations

- Manuscripts submitted to TJPI are categorized into the following types: research papers, translated articles, book reviews, and discussions.

- Research papers should not exceed 8,000 words, while book reviews and discussions should not exceed 3,000 words. Any exceptions to these length guidelines will be considered by the Editorial Board.

- TJPI also accepts reprints of academic papers that have had significant impact. For such reprinted articles, permission must be obtained from the copyright holders. Authors must provide complete information about the original source, including the original author(s), the journal or book in which it was published (including volume and page numbers), as well as the publisher, location, and date of publication.

- For translated articles, the translators are solely responsible for ensuring that they have the necessary copyright permissions.

6. Submission and Peer-review Process

- (1) Manuscripts should be submitted directly from the email of the corresponding author to TJPI (tapchitriet@hotmail.com) or via the online system. Authors must provide two versions: one including author information, and another with all author details removed for blind peer review.

- (2) Within one week, TJPI editors will send a confirmation email to the corresponding author and forward the manuscript to the Editor-in-Chief and Vice Editors for preliminary evaluation. Authors will be notified if their manuscript is rejected at this stage. If no notification is received, it means the manuscript has progressed to the next phase.

- (3) The manuscript will then be sent to two peer reviewers who are experts in the relevant field. Peer review follows a blind review process. If the manuscript is accepted by only one reviewer, it will be sent to a third referee. After receiving feedback from the peer reviewers, TJPI will inform the authors regarding any necessary corrections and responses.

- (4) The Editorial Board is responsible for the final decision on acceptance or rejection, and will notify the corresponding author of the outcome, as well as the volume in which the accepted manuscript will be published.

- (5) Once the article is officially published on the TJPI website, the Editorial Board will send an email notification to the corresponding author.

7. Rejection

Manuscripts that do not adhere to TJPI's regulations or fail to meet the required academic standards will be rejected. In order to maintain academic integrity, objectivity, and fairness, TJPI is not obligated to provide explanations for rejected manuscripts.
