   1. Your name
   2. Educational/Academic Credentials (degree, university affiliation)
   3. Proposed/Provisional title of your entry

Length: The Internet Encyclopedia of Personalism encourages scholars with doctoral level background (though candidates who have advanced degrees but have not completed a doctorate in philosophy or a related field will certainly be considered). Articles should have a length of 6,000 to 15,000 words (exceptions may be made in advance in response to specific content areas).  Authors should consult the list of desired articles on the IEP website, as well as the list of articles already reserved/in progress to avoid duplication.
