technology/computer formats
  
 
For a submission to be considered for publication in the Journal of Hyper(+)drome Manifestation, send it as an e-mail attachment to journal@hyperdrome.net. Recommended formats are: OpenOffice.org, HTML, and RTF.

Only under exceptional circumstances will submissions in other formats be considered. Such exceptional circumstances may be related to distinctive aesthetic properties that define the core essence of the submission and which the author considers as inseparable parts of it, and, thus, wishes to preserve in their entirety. Such an example might be a submission employing heavy use of Macromedia Flash technology. In those cases, hyper(+)drome in collaboration with the author in concern will decide whether the implicit trade-off between consistency, editorial effort, and creative authoring/expression is to be tolerated. This policy was not formulated for reasons of discrimination over competing technologies; it aims to enable the hyperdrome volunteers to carry out the editorial process in a time-efficient manner that would not be feasible were tens of different and incompatible computer formats to be converted back and forth in order to be made accessible to our reviewers. For this reason alone, we ask authors to prefer submitting in the recommended formats.
 
 
 
 
editorial policy & peer review
  
 
We will acknowledge receipt of your submission, and will circulate the manuscript among a network of reviewers. Upon completion of the main circle of the peer-review process, which normally should not exceed a month, the paper will be either:

(1) rejected and no further considered for publication, in which case you will be informed of this decision via e-mail;
(2) sent back to you with appropriate comments and suggestions about changes that need to be done before the paper is published in the journal, or
(3) accepted for publication in which case you will be sent an e-mail with the URL where the paper will be made available temporarily for last minute revisions and modifications should they be desirable by the contributing author(s) and the hyperdrome editor(s).

 
 
 
 
copyright/copyleft
  
 
If you wish to use a specific legal license for your submitted work, you are most welcomed to do so. Please specify which that is going to be in the first e-mail with your attachment. In general, however, we assume that all rights to a contributing author's work remain firmly with him. In many cases, we also provide practical assistance to authors as to which license best suits their submitted work, as well as their professional orientation, and personal goals. Please do not hesitate to contact us at journal@hyperdrome.net if you have any questions regarding our copyright/copyleft policy, or if you would like some help to decide which license is right for you.

Most importantly, in recognition of the fact that the digital condition coupled with the economics of digital distribution and reproduction on the Internet alter fundamentally the forces at work pertaining to the raison d'être of the institution of copyright law, rendering it at best irrelevant and at worst harmful, we encourage contributing authors to publish their work under one of the following licenses, which the Journal of Hyper(+)drome.Manifestation endorses and sees as the foremost legal guardians of the open and global digital knowledge mosaic that we all seek to foster and grow. Some of the most important of these licenses are:

  • the GNU Free Documentation License (FDL);
  • the Creative Commons (CC) licenses; in our opinion the most (only?) useful and digitally-inclined license of the entire spectrum of CC licenses, is the Attribution-Sharealike;
  • the Free Art License ;
  • the Academic Free License ;
  • the GNU General Public License (GNU GPL);
  • the Common Good Public License (CGPL);
  • the public domain #.
