Things to keep in mind
You may first submit an abstract if you wish for approval on topic appropriateness (sticking to a site topic is a good start). Submissions are recommended to be at least 500-2000 words (word limit is not important, make your point clearly with enough words and then stop). Times new roman, 12 font, double spaced, with bold and italics where needed. Head and sub-headers are encouraged. MLA citation recommended with a work cited page. Please avoid footnotes and endnotes but use them if required for clarity. Articles will be formatted for the website accordingly from the submitted electronic file. Inappropriate grammar and vague sentence structure must be improved before publication.
Disclaimer: submission and rejection process
Content will NOT be edited or recommended to be changed (only when clarity of thesis is required). This site is for free thought, not censorship, but academic rigor, web compatibility, and ease of readability are valued. Submissions will be rejected if they are too messily written, commit plagiarism (posted articles will be taken down if identified on a later date), have suggestive language that would promote economic inequality and discrimination of individuals based on race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, socioeconomic class, and religion. Rejections will provided with an explanation and opportunity for re-submission. Please allow for up to 5 business days between correspondences.
