Eighteenth-Century Thought welcomes papers and substantive discussion notes examining early modern thought in the areas of inquiry identified. The journal is interested not only in publishing individual essays in these disciplines, but is especially interested in publishing studies that are themselves interdisciplinary, embodying methods or subject matter from more than one of these disciplines.

Eighteenth-Century Thought accepts submissions from 5,000 to 11,000 words inclusive. Submissions, including any illustrations, tables, or diagrams, should be emailed to the editor, with the author identified only on a separate cover page; all other indications of the identity of the author in body of and notes to the text must be suppressed. An abstract of approximately 200 words must accompany each submission. Submissions must be typewritten, double-spaced throughout, with wide margins. Usage in the journal follows that described in The Chicago Manual of Style, 15th ed. Footnotes should be numbered sequentially at the bottom of the appropriate page and should follow the documentary note format described in The Chicago Manual. The journal publishes papers written in English. Quotations in modern European languages need not but may be translated into English.

On acceptance, authors of papers and book reviews are requested to supply a final electronic file of that document. (Microsoft Word 2003 or version 6.0 are strongly preferred.) Details regarding pitch, font, formatting, etc. will be provided upon acceptance.

Submissions must be made on the understanding that the submitted paper has not been previously published and will not be submitted for publication elsewhere while under consideration by Eighteenth-Century Thought, and that the author is responsible for the views expressed in his or her submission. It is the author's responsibility to obtain written permission for the quotation or other reproduction of published or unpublished material exceeding fair use.

The journal is committed to the goal of communicating a decision on a submitted essay within four months of the date of its submission.
