| Notes for
Reviewers
Contributions are welcome from members and non-members. Authors are encouraged to study the Journal for style and literary conventions. The Philosopher insists on a high standard of readability and transparency, more in line with Classical discussions than with the quite different aims and rationales of journals catering for the academic market. The reviews editor encourages members to become reviewers for the Journal. A list of newly received books is printed in each issue, and in additon, there is a wide range of earlier texts available on request. A list of books recently available is on the website, here (as it were). Review articles can be up to 1500 words long, but short reviews of less than 350 words are preferred, and reviews of 100-200 words are equally welcome for the In a Word section. In return for this review, of course, whether published or not, reviewers retain the copy of the book. Due to the large numbers of books for review, we cannot guarantee to publish all reviews, and those published may be, in some cases, years down the line. However, it is essential that any review copy requested be read and reviewed promptly, preferably in time for the immediately following issue. Reviews should following the same conventions as above, and should be marked for the 'Reviews Editor', Jones Irwin, and addressed to: Department of Philosophy, St Patricks College Drumcondra, Dublin 9, Republic of Ireland. If you wish to make email contact, use jones1@popmail.com please. Reviewers may also contact the Deputy Editor, at the Philosophy Department, Bradford University, Bradford West Yorkshire, email: z.stavrinides@bradford.ac.uk. All submissions may be sent to The Philosopherat The Centre for Lifelong Learning, Newcastle University, Newcastle NE1 7RU, United Kingdom. Due to the volume of correspondence, if you require acknowlegement, please include an SAE. Footnotes and References Please keep notes to an absolute minimum, and preferably have none at all. If you do wish to include notes, please gather them into a Notes section at the end of the article. Further unreferenced works which might be helpful to the reader, should be indicated in the main text. Do not refer needlessly to page numbers when quoting from books! How do I become a PhilSoc reviewer? In the first place, please write to the reviews editor, including a brief description of yourself. It helps if you are a member of the Society - please confirm if you are! Once accepted as a reviewer, please include a self-addressed envelope either stamped at £1.50 for UK addresses, or enclosing an International Money Order for £3.00 for overseas. The reviews editor may waive this requirement at their descretion, but in this way reviewers can help the Society use its funds better. Reviwers should include full publishing details in the preamble to the review and ensure that it is competed by the agreed date. October 2002 Books currently available for review include: [No books available]
