NEEDHAM RESEARCH INSTITUTE WORKING PAPERS


The NRI Working Papers series exists to enable scholars to achieve rapid publication and circulation of material whose content and length places it beyond the increasingly restrictive ambit of mainstream journals.  The series is especially suitable for studies longer than conventional articles, but not of full book length. Such material may be the partial results of research that will eventually appear in book form, but can with advantage be published before the book itself is ready - which may not be for several years. In some cases it may be useful for complex material to be published in a draft version  that will enable it to be circulated for discussion with the aim of making the final version as good as possible. The series is intended to be flexible and informal enough to encourage rapid publication, while setting a level of intellectual quality and clarity of presentation that will ensure that works published are worthwhile contributions to the field.

It operates a rapid and informal system of refereeing that will ensure essential scholarly standards are maintained, but places no artificial barriers in the way of swift dissemination of interesting work. The editorial touch is as light as possible: work in a wide variety of formats should be accepted as camera-ready copy, with no demand for any particular system of reference or bibliography apart from insisting that arguments and citations should be supported and annotated in ways that enable easy checking of the basis of the scholarly positions advanced.

Publication will normally occur simultaneously under two modes - a limited number of hard copies in simple but adequate binding, charged at a low level designed to recoup direct costs of reproduction (more can quickly be printed if demand warrants it) and a free pdf download on the series website. Each publication will be allocated an ISBN, and subject to copyright deposit in the relevant UK libraries.
