Stance (journal)
Stance: An International Undergraduate Philosophy Journal is an academic journal of philosophy which is published annually in April. This journal has become the leading undergraduate philosophy journal in the world. Reviewers and authors have come from countries including Australia, Bandladesh, Bolivia, Cameroon, Canada, Croatia, Iceland, Iran, Japan, Nigeria, Slovakia, the United Kingdom, the United States, and many more. The featured essays, the editing, and the production of the journal are entirely the work of undergraduate students. The editorial board of Stance is composed of a team based at Ball State University which communicates with an international external review board of undergraduate philosophers. Each issue is available both in print and online. High-quality print versions are available upon request. The group aims to enrich student learning by providing an opportunity for undergraduate students to have their original scholarly work reviewed by or published in a peer-reviewed academic journal.[1]

Process
The editorial board of Stance is trained in content evaluation, line editing, professional communication, and independent research. Manuscripts are evaluated on the following criteria: structure, organization, clarity, concision, balance of depth and breadth, coherence, academic rigor, strength of argumentation, appropriate tone, intellectual struggle, significance of conclusion, and originality.[1] Stance accepts manuscripts on any topic in philosophy.
Each manuscript is anonymously examined by several reviewers. All authors, including those whose essays are rejected, are given constructive feedback. The feedback for authors invited to revise and resubmit is often extensive.
