Editorial Policy
In time the policy of the EME has crystallized
itself as being that of… having no policy. No universal rules,
requirements, length limits, or format principles should be imposed on
or requested from authors, just a layout framework into which all texts
be processed. Otherwise, EME's policy has been to respect all stylistic
features be they very individualized, original, personal, and to avoid
all standardization. The only terms has been that all such particular
peculiarities should demonstrate vivid, working, sharp brains behind, or
consciously and purposely implied modes of expression, and thus
representing free choices. Reason for which those possible licenses have
had to be consequent and unequivocal. Therefore authors have been just
asked to use - if ever - the same original/atypical features and
elements (in orthography, signs, syntax, abbreviations, punctuation,
patterns and styles) all their articles long. If propositions and
principles have been suggested, also occurring liberties have been
tolerated.
The internal structure of each volume has been
built up by itself; chapters or topical sections have not been imposed
or requested beforehand, but rather identified from the materials
received. ("Do not work on orders, follow your academic demon, and you
will see that whatever you will produce will miraculously fit in the
EEME", it was once written to a collaborator.) Thus, also the number of
pages varied from volume to volume.
