Contributions and Review Process

These arrangements are proposed, pending the founder’s approval. What can be submitted, and what to include, is set out under Community Submissions.

Review

Every proposal is read by the editors. They check that the work can be documented from a source that readers can consult, and that its account of New Contextualism is accurate. They check that its authors agree to its publication, and that images come with permission and a credit. Proposals that concern the statement of the philosophy are referred to the founder. Under the proposed governance structure, proposed extensions of the theory would also be evaluated by a Curatorial Core, once it is constituted.

Decisions

The editors reply to every proposal. A proposal may be accepted, accepted with changes agreed with its authors, or declined, with the reason given. Work is not declined for disagreeing with the approach: critical responses are part of the record.

Publication and attribution

Accepted material is published with full attribution, the date of publication on the platform and its sources, and is labelled according to the Editorial Standards. Contributors keep the rights to their work; see Intellectual Property and Copyright.

Changes after publication

Contributors may ask for corrections to, or the withdrawal of, their material at any time. Changes are recorded as described under Corrections and Updates.
