Publishing in the New Georgia Encyclopedia
- Suggest an article topic that is currently missing from the NGE, or ask for an assignment in a particular subject area for which you have an interest or expertise.
Remember that content in the NGE is not original research--as an encyclopedia, all of the content must consist of verifiable facts.
- Familiarize yourself with the NGE by reading articles related to your topic. This is important because you will want to avoid duplicating information in your article where a hotlink would suffice, and to avoid introducing conflicting/contradictory information.
Remember that we need to conform to an encyclopedic style and tone.
- Read and follow the Contributor Guidelines (http://www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/nge/about/Index.jsp?id=t-107).
- Provide documentation for/photocopies of obscure sources that the fact checkers might have difficulty locating. Also provide the source for any direct quotations.
- Be prepared to answer queries and/or perform revisions on your article during the editorial process. This process can take anywhere from six months to a year from the time of submission.
- Suggest good sources for images or other multimedia you may have encountered in your research.
