|
Statement of Purpose-
|
|
|
|
NWR is an electronic publication for those people who think about the
|
|
issues and ideas of science, philosophy, history, and religion. The
|
|
special focus of NWR is the future of science and society. Our feature
|
|
articles will deal with issues pertaining to how science and technology is
|
|
shaping any aspect of human life. Moral and ethical problems associated
|
|
with the advance of the human understanding of nature are of particular
|
|
interest. NWR constantly asks the question: "Where is the human race
|
|
going?" Our outlook is positive; we have an abiding hope that the next
|
|
century will be best that humankind has ever seen.
|
|
|
|
Submission Guidelines-
|
|
|
|
If you have a feature article or an idea for one please contact us at
|
|
NEWORLDR@aol.com. We ask that submissions be kept to around 1000 words.
|
|
If the subject requires more space, then something can be worked out. We
|
|
would like to keep the issues of NWR short enough to be read conveniently
|
|
in about ten minutes. We also ask that feature authors send a brief (25
|
|
word) biographical description of themselves.
|
|
|
|
Those of you sending comments, letters, science news items, book reviews,
|
|
etc. please observe a 500 word limit. "Science Currents" should be items
|
|
of general scientific interest and hopefully have some social significance
|
|
as well. "Book Reviews" are just that, your opinion about a book you have
|
|
read. We are looking for reviews of popular science books in particular.
|
|
|
|
The NWR editorial staff reserves the right to edit any submission. We vow
|
|
not to change the meaning or intent of any submission. We my also reject
|
|
any submission without notification to the author.
|
|
|
|
NWR retains the copyright on each whole issue and any contributions by its
|
|
staff. Submissions from other authors are not subject to our copyright and
|
|
remain the intellectual property of their author. You may use your
|
|
submissions as you will in the future.
|
|
|
|
Subscription Information-
|
|
|
|
NWR is currently (Jan. 95) published monthly, but bi-weekly publication is
|
|
our goal by 1996. Each issue is distributed freely via e-mail. Free
|
|
subscriptions can be had by writing our subscription department at
|
|
NEWORLDR@aol.com. Current and back issues of NWR are available via
|
|
anonymous ftp at ftp.etext.org.
|
|
|
|
One Last Thing-
|
|
|
|
The Internet is a fabulous opportunity to open up the world of publishing
|
|
to the penniless and destitute. But just because something is free does
|
|
not mean that correspondingly its quality is low. We at NWR believe that
|
|
the best way to ensure quality in the free electronic press is by
|
|
establishing recognized seals of approval. We will work hard to see that
|
|
NWR becomes one such seal by Internet readers. We hope you will be proud
|
|
to include in your vita anything which is accepted by NWR for publication.
