Submissions
Limina welcomes submissions from all researchers, and particularly encourages submissions from postgraduate researchers.
We are committed to publishing the work of postgraduate students and early career researchers, realising the importance of developing an early publication record. We encourage interdisciplinary material (e.g. philosophy, music, anthropology) and are open to speculative, topical or non-traditional approaches in addition to more traditional papers.

Each edition comprises articles and academic reviews of recently published books within the arts, humanities, and social sciences.

Book and Cultural Reviews
Reviews (800 words) of works published, performed, or broadcast within the past two years are welcome (no footnotes allowed). We're looking for reviews of books, film, television, theatre, art, and cultural events. Submit your inquiries regarding book and cultural reviews to [email protected]
The books available for review are displayed on the Limina Facebook page . Alternatively, you may email the Book Reviews Editor with a suggestion for a book you are interested in reviewing. Should you be unable to obtain a copy of the book yourself, we may be able to source it for you.
Peer review process
Limina adopts a double-blind peer-review process. We depend on esteemed academics and professorial staff from Australia and worldwide to referee submissions and seek to provide the submitting postgraduate or early career researcher with prompt evaluation and an efficient publication process.
All articles submitted to Limina are reviewed by three members of the Editorial Collective. When an article is accepted by at least two reviewers, authors are sent feedback and are required to submit a revised article. Revised articles are then sent to peer reviewers.
The Editorial Collective collates the referee's reports and recommendations and decides if the article is acceptable in its present form; suitable for publication if amended according to referee's comments attached; unsuitable for publication in its present form but requires revision and re-submission in order to be re-refereed; or declined. Thereafter, authors are given roughly six weeks to resubmit their article.
Each article is carefully approved and copy-edited by the Editorial Collective before publication.
