First publication

The Voltaire Network strives to publish original articles and promote their echo in other written or electronic media. We ask you to guarantee for us to be the first to publish your article (we do not ask for exclusivity).

Publication date

Checking your sources and correcting your article may take time. In addition, to ensure visibility for each published article, the Voltaire Network needs to give priority to items relating to current news. The copy desk will inform you of your article’s estimated publication date.

Circulation

At your request, we can send you at publishing time the SPIP encoded file allowing the referencing of your articles on websites that use the SPIP software.

Selection of topics

The Voltaire Network does not aim to cover all topics in a comprehensive way. It does not favor one type of event, but analysis quality. It does not attempt to describe the world, but to understand it.

Article size

There are no format requirements. However, it is difficult for us to translate long articles.

Objectivity

The Voltaire Network publishes surveys and analysis, not commentaries or opinion pieces. We ask you to present facts in the most objective way. In fairness to readers, please make sure, if you happen to express your position, not to impose it on them.

Footnotes

Whenever possible, add footnotes regarding the surprising items you are reporting on. Indicate preferably a primary source, not a mention in another article. Feel free to also include references for further reading.

Copy desk

As is usual, the copy desk may change the title and subhead to attract readership. They write a blurb, the purpose of which is not to summarize the article, but to indicate why it is important. They check the spelling of the text as well as any technical expression which could be misunderstood by the general public, and harmonize the language with previously published articles. In addition, they may add explanatory notes or references to other articles on the site in order to include it in its general corpus. Finally, they illustrate the article.

Letters to the Editor

If you want your readers to be able to send you feedback, please provide an e-mail address for this purpose. It will not appear on the site, but emails from readers will reach you directly with the words "via voltairenet.org".

Legal Disclaimer

The author is responsible for the article (except for the title, subhead, illustrations and changes made by the copy desk). Otherwise, the editor, Thierry Meyssan, is liable, whichever State legal actions may be taken in.

Volunteering

All our authors are volunteers. By submitting an article, you authorize us to publish it with various translations and you place it in the public domain.
