Author guidelines
The editorial team reserves the right not to publish a post that does not conform to the below guidelines and/or does not meet our quality standards.
We will perform a marginal review of submitted blogposts. We may suggest minor language and editorial changes, if considered necessary. We may also make minor substantive comments (e.g. when an argument could be developed more convincingly, or where a relevant element has been left out of the discussion).
We aim to publish blogposts as shortly as possible after receiving them.
