Thank you for considering the submission of content for use by our Master Class. Whether you are thinking about contributing a brief news item or a longer editorial essay, we welcome your interest.
A news item can be as brief as a few sentences, or as lengthy as a few paragraphs. Any relevant information about an organization, an activity, or an economic, environmental, or social trend is potentially newsworthy if it addresses the mission of our organization.
Editorial essays are longer pieces. Although we do not rigidly enforce word limits, such content usually consists of several hundred to several thousand words. We require thoughtful opinions that are supported by citations and other evidence, so please do not send us your unsubstantiated “off the cuff” assertions!
After a brief initial review, we will guide your submission through a peer review process. Our membership base encompasses hundreds of business, academic, government, and non-profit colleagues with expertise in sustainability related issues. Two such individuals are asked to review each submission.
Our review criteria are: (1) relevance to mission, (2) accuracy of content, and (3) overall value to our readers. We are committed to supporting the expansion of knowledge in a manner that encourages a broad diversity of knowledge and perspective.
Michael Kraten, PhD, CPA is coordinating the publication of our Master Class material. If you have any questions about our process, please visit his web site at michaelkraten.blogspot.com and click on the "Contact Me" link. We look forward to hearing from you!
