Editorial Policy

Articles presented on this website reflect the viewpoint of each individual author and not those of the the editor. The site is designed as a forum for a wide range of viewpoints and perspectives. Over time the editor hopes to present materials reflecting different sides of complex and controversial issues. Well documented, factual, and analytical articles that strive for objectivity and balance are preferred over propagandistic materials that present only one side of an issue. Readers should not assume that because an article published on the site presents one viewpoint that other perspectives will not be accepted or presented in the future. The site is in a state of development. Scholars and journalists are encouraged submit materials for publication or republication to increase the range and scope of the material presented.
