Logos: A Journal of Catholic Thought & Culture
About Logos: A Journal of Catholic Thought and Culture
The importance of a sustained encounter with the claims of Catholic thought and culture has never been more important.
Springing from our commitment at the St. Thomas Center for Catholic Studies to contribute to national and international developments in Catholic higher education, we began publishing Logos: A Journal of Catholic Thought and Culture more than 25 years ago. Since then, Logos has served as an interdisciplinary meeting point for scholars to publish their finest work and for readers to remain engaged in the beauty, truth, and vitality of Christianity as it is rooted in and shaped by Catholicism.
Logos seeks a readership that extends beyond the academy and is especially interested in receiving submissions for double-blind review in:
- art, photography, architecture and music;
- theology, philosophy, history and literature;
- the natural and social sciences, public policy, and the professions.

Author’s proofs
Once an article is scheduled to appear in an issue, authors will be notified about the tentative schedule. All articles are then lightly edited and proofread for house style, grammar, and clarity. After being typeset, proofs are sent to the author who is then given two weeks to make any final corrections. Major revisions will not be possible at that stage.

After publication, authors will be set two copies of the whole Logos issue and sent links to the pdf.
Copyrights
Authors maintain the copyrights to their individual articles but assign to Logos the right to publish the text both electronically and as printed matter, and to make it permanently available through academic databases and other electronic formats. Each issue of Logos is copyrighted as a whole by its publishers.
Authors are asked to wait for six months after publication before posting or republishing their article (as part of a book, on Academia.com, etc.). Permission for reprinting is not required from Logos after six months, and enquiries from anyone beside the author will be referred to the author directly. If a permission letter is requested by a publisher, Logos editors are happy to provide one.
