Write for Us

We at Brain Blogger are actively requesting articles and news pieces on a broad range of subjects: neuroscience, psychiatry, and neurology from multidimensional — biological, psychological, and sociological — perspectives.

We welcome contributions in any of the above and related fields. Articles are primarily written for a general audience. Your article may be featured in partner websites and affiliated media. Since Brain Blogger is indexed by Google News and has many other syndications, your writing will never go unread!

Submission Requirements

The requirements for article contributions are straightforward:

• You assert that your work is free from copyright infringement;
• The work should be related to one of our categories (or you may suggest a new one). You may also compose a series of articles, or continue on an existing series; and
• You agree that Brain Blogger will retain all intellectual property rights to works submitted. Permission must be sought to reproduce works on venues other than Brain Blogger.

Sign Up as a Contributor

Please follow these simple steps to join our writing team:

• Register. Remember to fill out your Profile in full, including your academic credentials and a brief bio written in the third person.
• Login. Then, select Posts –> Add New to compose your article.

Formatting

• Title – Should be both captivating and informative. Separate clauses with a hyphen (instead of semi-colon). Capitalize all words except for internal closed-class words (aka title case).
• Post – Should have an introduction, body, and conclusion. Separate paragraphs with a hard-enter (line between each paragraph). If you have references, please include the DOI (obtained from CrossRef) so we may properly format your entry. If a DOI is unavailable, follow any established citation style (e.g. Harvard or APA).
We recommend that you first compose your article in a word processor, save it to your hard drive, and then paste the text in the compose screen when it’s ready for publication.
If you are pasting directly from MS Word, please follow the simple steps outline by DavePress to avoid formatting issues. An alternative would be to copy-paste from MS Word to Notepad, and then copy-paste to our site from Notepad.
• Tags – Enter relevant keywords.
• Categories – Select only one category for each post.
• Publish Status – If you are still working on it, keep as Unpublished so it appears under your Drafts. Only when you are ready to submit to our editing team, select Submit for Review.

Submissions

When your article is ready for publication, select the Submit for Review button. One of our editors will review, edit, format, and publish your article shortly. If your article is time-sensitive, then send us a message.
