to the Occasional Papers of the Eric-Voegelin-Archiv Munich
Scope
The Occasional Papers seek to publish innovative scholarly manuscripts available on the works of Eric Voegelin. The papers especially feature articles that contribute to the improvement of general knowledge or detailled research on his works. Besides, it is interested in publishing shorter pieces by Voegelin in order to make them available to a wider public.
Originality
Occasional Papers does not evaluate works already published elsewhere or under current review by another publisher. Our policy is that a new paper is not original enough if as many as half of the ideas will have appeared in a book or elsewhere first. Whenever a question about overlap might arise, at the time of submission please send a copy of the earlier work and ask the editor for a judgement. As a partial exception, a study that is promised to a future edited book can normally be published if the book will appear at least six months after the Occasional Papers article and if the author has arranged for the Occasional Papers' editor's agreement at the time of submission.
Length
Occasional Papers will not review a manuscript longer than 16.000 words including notes. Please provide a word count, which most word processors will compute, unless the manuscript totals fewer than forty pages when double-spaced. Number the pages consecutively and allow margins on all sides. We prefer a font no smaller than 12 points.
Procedure
Please submit a copy, printed on only one side of the page, addressed to the Editor Peter J. Opitz (address as given on homepage).
References
The Occasional Papers use, as a rule, footnotes to cite sources of evidence and references only, and not to present supplementary evidence and reasoning. If such additional material is needed, the reader should find it with the rest of the text, in general. An exception could be made for an addition that would disturb the flow of the text.
The reference list should contain the complete facts of publication or availability for each source cited. Provide author first names when available and include relevant information in a footnote. A note may include a brief annotation that helps the reader understand the sources value and viewpoint.
