JOURNAL OF FORMAL AXIOLOGY:THEORY AND PRACTICE

Volume 6, 2013

“I thought to myself, if evil can be organized so efficiently [by the Nazis] why cannot good? Is there any reason for efficiency to be monopolized by the forces for evil in the world? Why have good people in history never seemed to have had as much power as bad people? I decided I would try to find out why and devote my life to doing something about it.”Robert S. Hartman

A Publication of the Robert S. Hartman Institute

In 2008, the Robert S. Hartman Institute began publishing a new journal dealing with the theoretical and applied aspects of Hartmanian formal axiology, the JOURNAL OF FORMAL AXIOLOGY: THEORY AND PRACTICE. It is published once a year and is usually available in late August or early September.

Senior Editor, Rem B. Edwards, is responsible for overall content and for articles dealing primarily with axiological theory.

Co-Editors, Vera Mefford and Cliff Hurst, are responsible for articles dealing primarily with axiological practice and application, as well as with theoretical issues.

Book Review Editor, David Mefford, is responsible for working with reviewers of books dealing with formal axiology and closely related subjects.

Go to the Officers and Board Members page of this website for detailed contact information on these Editors.

DEADLINE FOR SUBMITTING ARTICLES FOR JOURNAL

The Absolute Deadline for submitting articles to be considered for each issue is March 1 of each year. This means that your article should be finished by then; it does not mean that you should start writing it then! Here are some ground rules for submitting articles.

GUIDELINES FOR AUTHORS

1. Articles should be submitted as e-mail attachments to Rem B. Edwards at remb1@att.net. They should be in MS Word format with 12 point type, Times New Roman, single line spacing. Do not skip lines between paragraphs, and please indent the first word in each paragraph using tab. Do not use first line indent or styles. Articles will be subject to blind review, so only the title page should give the name of and contact information for the author(s). The title page will be deleted by the Editor before sending the article on to members of our Editorial Advisory Board or to other reviewers for their assessment of its worthiness to be published.

2. When submitting an article, potential authors MUST include an ABSTRACT not exceeding 250 words that summarizes the main points of the article, as well as a short AUTOBIOGRAPHY not exceeding 150 words. Please include these on your title page.

3. All articles published in this journal must have an obvious connection with Hartmanian axiology or value theory and its applications. Articles may be critical, constructive, creative, theoretical, or applied. No articles dealing with “axiology in general” will be considered. Many of you are doing research with and learning new things about people using the Hartman Value Profile, and we strongly encourage you to submit your findings to us so that others may know about your discoveries. More theoretical articles that advance or validate Hartmanian axiology, or that apply it to such areas as religion, philosophy, politics, psychology, psychotherapy, counseling, consulting, business, education, the natural and social sciences, etc., are also strongly encouraged and welcomed.

4. We will publish longer articles, shorter discussion notes, book reviews, and selected letters to the Editor. Long articles may be up to but should not normally exceed 8,000 words. Shorter discussions may be of lesser length.

5. If you wish to review a book for the journal, get in touch with Dr. David Mefford at: veraax@aol.com.

6. All articles must somehow advance our understanding of formal axiology and what can be done with it. No articles will be considered that merely summarize what is already known, or that have been previously published (except for self-publication) or accepted or submitted for publication elsewhere.

7. Set all margins to one inch. All paragraphs should be justified. Headings should be centered, bold type, with main words capitalized. Do not insert top of the page headers or page numbers.

8. Now that we are publishing only on-line, colors as well as black and white will be allowed.

9. For emphasis, use only italics; never use bold, underlining, or quotes for emphasis.

10. We normally use the References/Works Cited method of documentation instead of endnotes or footnotes. All substantive comments must be in the main text itself, not in notes. For guidelines, click here. A list of Works Cited should be at the end of the article.

11. Authors of articles and reviews must sign a contract with the Journal that gives the Journal permission to publish their contribution, assigns their copyright to the Journal, and gives assurances that they have obtained permission to quote or paraphrase cited material. Authors retaining right to use their article freely in their own professional activities. Authors may print a copy of the issue in which their contribution is published. Click here to view the Contract for Journal Authors. All authors should print out this contract, fill it out, sign it, and either mail it by postal mail to Rem B. Edwards, 8709 Longmeade Drive, Knoxville, TN 37923, or else scan it after signing it and send it to him as an e-mail attachment to: remb1@att.net.

12. Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to use extensive quotes and paraphrases from copyrighted sources. Limited quotations and paraphrases of 400 words or less probably fall within “fair use.” See the MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing, pp. 43ff for “fair use” guidelines. Generally, if you use more than 400 words from a single source, authors must obtain permission, and copies of your permissions must be submitted to the Editor of this journal.

13. Do not submit an article that does not conform to these guidelines. I t may seem unnecessary to have to say this, but experience has shown that it is. PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT ARTICLES THAT ARE INCOMPLETE IN ANY WAY AND THAT YOU PLAN TO FINISH LATER. All submitted articles should be complete in all above respects, including proper formatting, before they are sent to the Editors. Submitting incomplete or improperly formatted articles is a waste of everyone’s time, and such articles will not be read, assessed, reviewed, or edited.

The cost of subscriptions to the JOURNAL OF FORMAL AXIOLOGY: THEORY AND PRACTICE is included in the annual dues for all members.

Annual membership dues are $75.00, which includes a subscription to the Journal, postage paid worldwide. Non members may subscribe for $25.00 per year. The price to libraries and institutions is $40.00 per year.
