"name": "mind-submission",
"description": "Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for Mind via ScholarOne — preparation for triple-anonymous review, the ~8,000-word limit, the 50–200-word abstract, line numbering, the one-article-per-12-months rule, file format, and the MIND house style. Final checks; it does not draft content."

Submission Preflight (mind-submission)
The last check before submitting on ScholarOne. Mind is triple-anonymous, so the single most common avoidable failure is a manuscript that is not properly prepared for anonymous review — such a paper will not be read. Verify volatile specifics on the official page before relying on them.
When to trigger
- "Submitting tomorrow" — last pass before upload
- Unsure which files / settings ScholarOne expects
- Confirming the word limit, abstract, line numbering, and anonymization are all in order
Process facts (verify volatile items on the official page)
- Owner / publisher: Mind Association / Oxford University Press.
- Portal: ScholarOne (
mc.manuscriptcentral.com/MIND); submit in Word or PDF, with high-resolution image files sent at the same time. - Review model: triple-anonymous across all papers — author identity is not revealed to editors or referees unless and until a paper is accepted; prepare for anonymous refereeing or it will not be read.
- Scope / what they accept: quality is the sole criterion of publication, with no area, no style, and no school of philosophy excluded. Content types: articles, discussions (discussion notes), book reviews, and critical notices.
- Critical notices: longer than book reviews, letting the author develop their own ideas in response to the book under discussion (distinct from a short book review).
- Volume / competitiveness: the journal receives over 800 submissions each year and draws on a large pool of expert referees, associate editors, and the Editorial Board. (Acceptance rate and time-to-first-decision are not published as fixed figures — 需复核.)
- Length: articles no longer than around 8,000 words in total; longer only in exceptional circumstances (e.g., very extensive quotations from original texts); symbol-heavy papers should paginate equivalently to an 8,000-word article. (Word limits for discussions / book reviews / critical notices are not pinned here — 需复核.)
- Abstract: published abstract 50–200 words; a longer submission abstract (up to ~250 words, 待核实) may be included to aid review.
- Submission limit: no more than one article may be submitted by any corresponding author during any twelve-month period.
- Line numbering: required for the review copy (LaTeX
lineno; Word line-numbering option). - Style: the MIND Stylesheet / MIND house style applies to the accepted final version; authors sign the standard OUP copyright licence agreement at acceptance.
- Fee: no submission fee (verified 2026-06-22). An open-access option is available for a charge, handled by OUP after acceptance; OUP sets the exact APC, eligible licences, and any read-and-publish / transformative-agreement waivers on its live charges page — confirm there.
Triple-anonymous failure audit
Mind's anonymity rule is not a cosmetic check; an identifying manuscript may not be read. Run a failure audit with three passes:
- Text pass. Search for first-person self-citations, acknowledgements, grant numbers, conference versions, appendix URLs, and phrases like "in my earlier paper." Replace with neutral references where scholarly continuity still matters.
- File pass. Strip document properties, PDF metadata, tracked-change names, embedded comment authors, and LaTeX build paths that reveal a username or institution.
- Argument pass. Make sure anonymization did not make the paper evasive. Self-citations should remain intellectually honest, just not identity-revealing.
Record any unavoidable prior-work clue in a private submission note only if the portal requests it.
Preflight checklist
Type & length
- Content type chosen (article / discussion / book review / critical notice — critical notice is the longer book-engagement piece)
- Article ~8,000 words (or justified exception); symbol-heavy paper paginated equivalently
- Abstract within the stated length (published 50–200 words)
- Subject is in scope — quality is the sole criterion; no area, style, or school of philosophy is excluded
Anonymity (triple-anonymous)
- No author names, affiliations, or revealing acknowledgements in the manuscript
- No self-identifying references ("as I argued in…"); self-citations neutralized
- Identifying file metadata stripped (document properties)
Preparation & format
- Line numbering on the document (LaTeX
lineno/ Word) - Word or PDF; high-resolution image files ready to upload at the same time
- Consistent citation style (full MIND house-style conversion at acceptance — see
mind-citation-and-style) - Alt text for figures; funding declared where applicable
Eligibility & compliance
- Not in breach of the one-article-per-12-months corresponding-author rule
- Original, unpublished work; aware of the standard OUP copyright licence signed at acceptance
- No submission fee; if open access is wanted, the OUP charge (APC/Read&Publish 需复核) is settled after acceptance
Anti-patterns
- Uploading a manuscript that reveals the author (triple-anonymous — it will not be read)
- Omitting line numbers from the review copy
- An abstract outside the stated range, or an article well over ~8,000 words with no justification
- Submitting a second article within twelve months as the same corresponding author
- Assuming a default reference export already matches the MIND house style
Output format
【Type】Article / Discussion / Book review / Critical notice (length ok? Y/N)
【Anonymized】text + self-refs + file metadata clean? [Y/N]
【Line numbering】present? [Y/N]
【Abstract】word count (50–200 published)
【12-month rule】clear? [Y/N]
【Format】Word/PDF + images + alt text ready? [Y/N]
【Next】await decision → mind-revision-and-response
