For a non-academic person who's never published a paper in a journal before, can you outline what's expected of a submission? Or maybe it's better to turn the questions around and outline my concerns. I know J fairly well, and I could (probably) find a topic of general interest to the J community, but, for example, I don't know how to format PS or (La)TeX, and my tone tends to be more personal and less clincal. Also, I'd probably focus on dicussing a well-known topic (in a new, and hopefully illuminating) way, rather than publish new results or research. Could I submit something more along the lines of what you see me typically post to these Forums (though more self-contained and less "conversational")? Could I submit it in plain old ASCII? -Dan PS: I considered mailing mikel privately on this topic, but I figured if the answered turned out to be that the barrier to entry isn't so high, it might encourage other laypersons like myself to consider contributing to the JoJ. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
