<editorial board> next issue

[info at edu-factory.org]

Dear
all,

 

As you
know, the zero issue of the edu-factory journal was published online at the
beginning of March. We think it's an important achievement: thanks to all the
editorial board for the debate and the collaboration in this project. We would
now like to discuss the launch of the journal in a collective way.

 

Besides
letting people know about the zero issue, we need to discuss the first issue of
the journal. We have written a proposal, you will find it attached. Of course
this is only an idea and we would like to discuss it with all the editorial
board in order to make a common decision and work together on it. If there are
other topics that someone would like to propose, or more ideas and suggestions
about this proposal, please feel free to contribute to the discussion.

 

Also, we
would like to make a couple of methodological proposals. The first is to have
specific editors for each of the two journal sections (Occupations and
Anomalies). This would facilitate a division of labor within the editorial
board which would greatly assist those member of the collective who have been
carrying the weight on this project. The second proposal concerns the complex
question of the peer review. We briefly discussed this at the beginning of this
editorial board list. We want to build a critique of the peer review process
and the system of measure, auditing and ranking of which it is an integral
part. This means approaching the peer review system as a political battlefield.
As an alternative to peer review, Ranabir Samaddar suggested we could practice
a collective reading of the articles for the first issue. Maybe Ranabir could
explain the idea more in depth.

 

All the
best,

Edu-factory
Author Guidelines

 

Edu-factory
is a project that depends on volunteer editors for every issue. For this
reason, please ensure that you follow all of the formatting and style
guidelines offered below when submitting a piece.

 

Submission

 

Please
email your submissions to info at edu-factory.org with your paper attached as a
.doc or a .rtf file.

 

Author
Bio

 

The
author(s) ought to supply a brief bio giving name, group of affiliation or
educational institutional, interests, and email address if desired.

 

General
Layout

 

1. The
text should be single-spaced.

2. Start
each paragraph at the margin (no tabs to indent first line). 

3. Place
an extra blank line between paragraphs to separate.

4.
Dashes should be keyed in as double-hyphens with no space at either end. For
example: word--word

 

Spelling
and Quotations

 

Either
British or American English may be used, however this must be consistent
throughout the text. 

 

Similarly
with quotations, either British or American style can be used, however this
must also be consistent throughout the text (British style: single quotation
marks, double quotation marks when there is a quote within a quote. Periods and
commas outside of quotation marks. American style: double quotation marks,
single quotation marks when there is a quote within a quote. Periods and commas
should be enclosed within the quotation marks, with endnote numbers outside).

 

Font and
Size

 

Please
use 12 point font throughout except for the title of the piece, which ought to
be 14 point.

 

Heading
Styles

 

First
level headings: (Boldface, first word capitalized, justified at right margin,

Second

Third

margin, on a separate line)

 

Citations
in the Text

 

When
titles of journals or books are mentioned, they should be italicized, not
underlined. 

 

Referencing

 

In order
to avoid the way parenthetical references break up the text, Edu-factory adopts
a system of referencing that uses endnotes. Authors are advised to follow as
closely as possible the Chicago Style of Notation for references, the main
points of which are offered below. For more examples see The Chicago Manual of
Style, 15th edition, available at: http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide.html

 

Endnotes

 

References
to publications which you cite in your paper can be listed in an endnote list
(1, 2, 3) called Endnotes. These should be in superscript both in the text and
in the endnote, and in standard numerals (1, 2, 3, etc.) not roman numerals.
Please do not use footnotes. 

 

Due to
the hypertext formatting, use of endnotes in instances other than referencing a
work should be exceptionally sparing. They should be used only where additional
explanations are absolutely necessary and cannot be incorporated in the text.

 

Because
there is a Reference list, a shortened format can be used to cite references in
the endnotes. For example:

 

1.
Davis, Women, 278. 

2.
Precarias a la deriva, Adrift, 1-3. 

3.
Davis, Cities, 22-24.

 

References

 

Please
provide a list of all references used in the paper at the end of the paper,
beneath the endnotes. The heading for the references should be bold and
right-justified, as References. References are in alphabetical order and list
only those works actually cited in the

text.

 

Begin
each entry at the margin and indent the subsequent lines by ½ inch; i.e.,
hanging indent.

 

Separate
the main items in each entry by periods (i.e., name of author, title of book,
etc.) Leave one space between a period and next part of the entry.

 

Publication
date should follow author name. Title of book should be in italics and only the
first word and first word after a colon should be capitalized (see examples).
