1. Contributions to the Internet Encyclopedia of Personalism are sought both by invitation from the editorial board and are also welcomed from qualified scholars (doctorate in philosophy or other relevant graduate degree in a related area) who have published peer reviewed work in the area of the proposed submission (e.g. peer reviewed academic/professional journals, books that have undergone standard peer review)
2. All submission are submitted to peer review by one or more members of the editorial board familiar with the topic submitted, or a reviewer(s) designated by the board.
3. The general nature of contributions to the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy is that of a reference work/overview of a particular topic area. This may include both specific content areas (e.g. Thomistic Personalism) or specific personalist authors (e.g. Jacques Maritain, Emmanuel Mounier, Dietrich von Hildebrand, John Macmurray, Randall Auxier etc.). As such, the entry does not argue a specific philosophical or theological point, as would be seen, for example, in a standard academic journal, but rather seeks to provide a balanced overview to a given area.
4. Review: Authors will be expected to engage with reviewer recommendations appropriately during the review process in order to produce a final entry of the highest possible academic quality and standard. The Editorial Board reserves the final decision to accept or reject a proposed submission.
5. Authors will be expected to provide contact information (e.g. email address) so that readers of the Encyclopedia may contact them with comments or questions. The goal here is to foster conversation both locally and internationally about Personalist thought.
6. Authors are encouraged to review their Internet Encyclopedia of Personalism periodically in order to keep the content up to date (e.g. including new research/publications touching on the content area, updating at the recommendation of the Editorial Board.
7. The views expressed by the Authors in the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy are the Authors’ own and will not necessarily reflect those of the Editorial Board or of other Authors contributing to the Encyclopedia.
8. Copyright: Authors of entries in the Internet Encyclopedia of Personalism generally retain the copyright over their work. Authors who contribute an entry to the Encyclopedia do grant the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy exclusive right to publish the article online on the Internet Encyclopedia of Personalism Website on the Internet/World Wide Web. Information from an entry by the Author of the Entry may be used in other contexts with acknowledgement of the Internet Encyclopedia of Personalism as the original site of publication.
