<DIV align=left> Cultural Science Journal is a multidisciplinary journal publishing original work on dynamics and change in culture, media and communications. It investigates structures, interactions, and processes of cultural systems at all levels of analysis and scales of application. The Journal takes advantage of advances in cultural analytics, cultural data science, and cultural semiotics. It encourages active dialogue with evolutionary and institutional economics, cultural evolution studies, biosemiotics, complexity science, and network analysis, specifying the ‘uses of culture’ from personal meanings to planetary platforms and systems of meaning: <UL> <LI>micro: individual agents, texts, objects, concepts, dialogues, </LI> <LI>meso: groups, institutions, industries, </LI> <LI>macro: planetary cross-system processes, the semiosphere. </LI></UL> Cultural Science Journal looks forward to publishing new work that could be critical, analytical and/or empirical, but is most often dialogical: interested in the production and translation of new ideas and knowledge, especially across perceived and disputed borders between systems, groups, and identities as well as academic disciplines. Cultural Science Journal is a double-blind peer reviewed journal. There is no Article Processing Charges (APCs) or article submission charges.

<DIV align=left> All article submissions need to be sent to this email address: <A href="mailto:csj@tlu.ee">csj@tlu.ee</A>. Please download and read the detailed <A href="https://sciendo-parsed-data-feed.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/CSJ/Author_Guidelines.pdf">author guidelines</A> before you submit your work to this journal. Peer Review Process All submissions are initially assessed by an Editor, who decides whether or not the article fits the scope of the journal and is suitable for peer review. Submissions considered suitable are assigned to one or more independent experts, who assess the article for clarity, validity, and sound methodology. Authors may be invited to recommend or ask for the exclusion of specific individuals from the peer review process. The journal does not guarantee to use these suggestions. All reviewers must be independent from the submission and will be asked to declare all competing interests. The journal operates a double-blind peer review process, meaning that authors and reviewers remain anonymous for the review process. The review period is expected to take around four weeks, once reviewers are secured, although the process can take longer. Reviewers are asked to provide formative feedback, even if an article is not deemed suitable for publication in the journal. Based on the reviewer reports the editor will make a recommendation for rejection, minor or major revisions, or acceptance. Overall editorial responsibility rests with the journal’s Editor-in-Chief, who is supported by an expert, international Editorial Board. The journal is happy to accept submissions of papers that have been loaded onto preprint servers or personal websites, have been presented at conferences, or other informal communication channels. These formats will not be deemed prior publication. Authors must retain copyright to such postings. Authors are encouraged to link any prior posting of their paper to the final published version within the journal, if it is editorially accepted. Members of the editorial team/board are permitted to submit their own papers to the journal. In cases where an author is associated with the journal, they will be removed from all editorial tasks for that paper and another member of the team will be assigned responsibility for overseeing peer review. A competing interest must also be declared within the submission and any resulting publication. Reviewer Guidelines Reviewers are asked to provide comment on the below topics and guidelines: <UL> <LI>Content: Does the article fit within the scope of the journal? Is the submission original, relevant and rigorous? Is the author’s depth of understanding of the issues researched adequate? Are the sources and references adequate? Has the existing knowledge base been explored and built upon? Are the chosen methodologies appropriate and have they and the evidential base been appropriately used? Does the conclusion reflect the argument in the main body text and bring something new to the debate? </LI> <LI>Structure and argument: Does the abstract summarise the arguments in a succinct and accurate way? Is the manuscript logically structured and do the arguments flow coherently? Is there enough reference to methodology in the introduction and are the arguments fully evidenced and substantiated? Does the introduction signpost the arguments in the logical way and does the conclusion adequately summarise them? </LI> </UL> Reproducibility Open Data The journal strongly encourages authors to make all data associated with their submission openly available, according to the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable). This should be linked to from a Data Accessibility Statement within the submitted paper, which will be made public upon publication.. If data is not being made available with the journal publication then ideally a statement from the author should be provided within the submission to explain why. Data obtained from other sources must be appropriately credited. Structured Methods As the traditional Materials and Methods section often includes insufficient detail for readers to wholly assess the research process, the journal encourages authors to publish detailed descriptions of their structured methods in open, online platforms such as <A href="https://www.protocols.io/">protocols.io</A>. By providing a step-by-step description of the methods used in the study, the chance of reproducibility and usability increases, whilst also allowing authors to build on their own works and gain additional credit and citations. Open Code If research includes the use of software code, statistical analysis or algorithms then we also recommend that authors upload the code into <A href="https://codeocean.com/">Code Ocean</A>, where it will be hosted on an open, cloud-based computational reproducibility platform, providing researchers and developers with an easy way to share, validate and discover code published in academic journals. Preprint Policy The journal allows authors to deposit draft versions of their paper into a suitable preprint server, on condition that the author agrees to the below: <UL> <LI>The author retains copyright to the preprint and developed works from it, and is permitted to submit it to the journal. </LI> <LI>The author declares that a preprint is available within the cover letter presented during submission. This must include a link to the location of the preprint. </LI> <LI>The author acknowledges that having a preprint publicly available means that the journal cannot guarantee the anonymity of the author during the review process, even if they anonymise the submitted files.</LI> <LI>Should the submission be published, the authors are expected to update the information associated with the preprint version to show that a final version has been published in the journal, including the DOI linking directly to the publication. </LI> </UL> ORCID The journal strongly recommends that all authors submitting a paper register an account with Open Researcher and Contributor Identifier (<A href="https://orcid.org/">ORCID</A>). Registration provides a unique and persistent digital identifier for the account that enables accurate attribution and improves the discoverability of published papers, ensuring that the correct author receives the correct credit for their work. As the ORCID remains the same throughout the lifetime of the account, changes of name, affiliation, or research area do not effect the discoverability of an author's past work and aid correspondence with colleagues. The journal encourages all corresponding authors to include an ORCID within their submitting author data whilst co-authors are recommended to include one. ORCID numbers should be added to the author data upon submission and will be published alongside the submitted paper, should it be accepted. Authorship All listed authors must qualify as such, as defined in our author guidelines, which have been developed from the <A href="http://www.icmje.org/recommendations/browse/roles-and-responsibilities/defining-the-role-of-authors-and-contributors.html">ICMJE</A> definitions. All authors must have given permission to be listed on the submitted paper. Competing Interests, Funding and Ethics　 To ensure transparency, all authors, reviewers and editors are required to declare any interests that could compromise, conflict or influence the validity of the publication. In addition, authors are required to specify funding sources and detail requirements for ethical research in the submitted manuscript (see Author Guidelines). Corrections and Retractions In accordance with guidelines from the Committee on Publication Ethics (where applicable), the publisher handles different kinds of error. All articles have their proofs checked prior to publication by the author/editor, which should ensure that content errors are not present. Please contact the journal if you believe an article needs correcting. Post-publication changes to the publication are not permitted unless in exceptional circumstances. If an error is discovered in a published article then the publisher will assess whether a Correction paper or Retraction is required. Misconduct and Complaints Allegations of misconduct will be taken with utmost seriousness, regardless of whether those involved are internal or external to the journal, or whether the submission in question is pre- or post-publication. If an allegation of misconduct is made to the journal, it must be immediately passed on to the publisher (Tallinn University), who will follow guidelines from the Committee on Publication Ethics (<A href="https://publicationethics.org/resources/flowcharts">COPE</A>) on how to address the nature of the problem. Should the matter involve allegations against a member of the journal or publishing team, an independent and objective individual(s) may be sought to lead the investigation. Where misconduct is proven or strongly suspected, the journal has an obligation to report the issue to the author's institution, who may conduct their own investigation. This applies to both research misconduct (e.g. completing research without ethical approval and consent, fabricating or falsifying data etc) and publication misconduct (e.g. manipulating the peer review process, plagiarism etc). Should an investigation conclude that misconduct or misinformation has occurred then the author, along with their institution will be notified. Should the publication record need to be corrected, the journal's correction policy will be followed. Should an author wish to lodge a complaint against an editorial decision or the editorial process in general they should first approach the Editor-in-Chief of the journal, explaining their complaint and ask for a reasoned response. Should this not be forthcoming or adequate, the author should raise the matter with the publisher, who will investigate the nature of the complaint and act as arbiter on whether the complaint should be upheld and investigated further. This will follow guidelines set out by <A href="https://publicationethics.org/resources/flowcharts">COPE</A>.
