The Board of Editors of the Center for Research on Vermont invites the submission of manuscripts to be considered for publication in its Occasional Papers series. The purpose of the series is to provide an outlet for worthwhile work on Vermont research topics that may not find an audience through other channels.

Although past Occasional Papers have been drawn from the social sciences and humanities, the Editors emphasize that they will consider manuscripts from any discipline on a topic relating to issues, problems, or ideas originating in, or especially affected by the context of, Vermont. This would include the special impact on Vermont of national or international events or developments. Submissions in the sciences, the arts, and other fields not previously represented are especially encouraged.

Manuscripts are refereed, and editorial suggestions and critiques may be extended to assist authors with revision. Papers are distributed at cost.


Format: The suggested length is between 35 and 75 double-spaced pages; for preferred styling rules, see The Chicago Manual of Style; graphs, tables, and black-and-white illustrations may be included.

Audience: The Center for Research on Vermont membership, which includes researchers in all disciplines; other informed Vermonters, such as legislators and educators.
