Submit an Original Article OR Reprint

What kind of articles does GST accept?

GST appreciates submissions that meet our criteria for articles. We are especially interested in original material that is being published for the first time, although we will consider high-quality work that has been published previously (a reprint) to which we can link from its original publication.

Keep in mind that our unique focus is on (a) producing less, while (b) distributing it fairly, in order to(c) produce a greener world for all.

Steps for submitting an article to GST

In order submit an article to GST, please do the following things:

  1. Read the “ABOUT GST” statement above to make sure your article is consistent with GST areas of interest and fits into at least one of the categories articles are published under.
  2. Most GST articles are 1500 to 2000 words, though we consider articles of up to 5000 words. To get an idea of the preferred style, review several articles currently published.
  3. Make sure your article is well formatted. This means:
    • If your article is long enough, use properly formatted and topical headings, with H2 tags and smaller.
    • Include suitable images when possible.
    • Ensuring your article’s HTML formatting is displaying properly. If you experience unusual display, consider using an HTML cleaner on the text to remove extraneous formatting even when copying and pasting from a word processor or online source. Since we encourage substantiating information, you should either use endnotes or embedded links if appropriate for what you are writing.
    • The editorial board is 100% volunteers and does not have time to reformat articles, so make sure your submission is properly formatted and well edited or it may be rejected.
  4. Put a biographical statement at the end. If you want readers to be able to contact you, include your email address and/or website.
  5. Submit your article through the form below.

Guidelines for Reprint Material

When submitting a reprint, please ensure that you include the link to the original online publication of the article (not just another reprint). We do not require that you be the author of the article to submit a reprint, only that the content is available to be reprinted and linked.
