The facilitation of publication of quality articles and other materials is the aspect of the Institute that can begin right now. Publications will be electronic, from this website. This will be a two-way activity, in which we publish our own materials and you get a chance ot publish yours.

In general, articles or other documents for publication on this website must deal with transpersonal or related issues. As a guide, we offer a list of words and phrases that topics may be chosen from. If you are in any doubt, then contact us by email or by post sending an abstract or synopsis.

As the editors of this "publication" medium we reserve the right to either reject a submission outright, or make suggestions as to how it might be modified to suit this forum. However, we have no intention of acting as an obstacle course, nor boasting about our high rejection rate (as so many of the printed journals do). We do want to facilitate the disemination of articles or other documents of quality and value.

Our publication is called The Transpersonal Journal . The first issue of this journal can be seen by clicking on that name. For now, publication will be on an irregular basis, perhaps twice a year. However, once submissions come pouring in, we will probably shift to a regular publication period of four times per year, following the seasons. While we will not charge for having a submission published, we will have a subscription charge beyond this first issue, where rate is yet to be determined. Should we publish the journal in a paper-based format, we would expect this to have a higher rate of subscription to cover printing cost (there will also be a postage charge). Overseas subscriptions will be the NZ rate times the appropriate current exchange rate.

If you wish to submit a manuscript for publication either send it as an attachment to our email address:
PeterAJJ@xtra.co.nz

or send it to our physical address:
PO Box 28 082

This list is not exhaustive, and we would be delighted to hear from you if you feel we left off other key terms.

A limited amount of space will be made available in each publication of the journal for public notices such as the notification of upcoming conferences, workshops or courses. Naturally, the content of these notices must be compatible with the aims of the Institute. A small charge will be made for this service.

In time, depending on the rate of development of the Institute and available resources, we may be able to publish larger works such as textbooks, novels, poetry and plays, where these may be either physical or on this website.
