Author Guidelines
Authors submitting to the Journal of Tautological Troglodyte must prepare manuscripts according to our specialized formatting requirements for circular reasoning research. Submissions should be 5,000-8,000 words in length, formatted in 12-point Times New Roman with double spacing and comprehensive margins for extensive reviewer commentary. The abstract must clearly articulate the self-evident conclusion being investigated, the methodological approach to proving obvious truths, and the theoretical contribution to academic obviousness. All manuscripts require a minimum of 50 references to establish the extensive scholarly foundation underlying circular reasoning, with particular emphasis on previous research that has reached identical conclusions through different academic pathways. Authors must include detailed methodology sections explaining their approach to investigating self-referential propositions, comprehensive literature reviews demonstrating awareness of existing tautological scholarship, and discussion sections that elaborate on the implications of confirming established facts through rigorous academic analysis. Supplementary materials should include datasets of circular reasoning examples and theoretical frameworks supporting the investigation of obvious conclusions.
