We invite feature articles, shorter reports, notes, interviews, resource guides, visual images related to article themes, cultural commentary and humour. Features may be written in an essay style where the author ruminates on a topic, an investigative style, where the author tells a story based on interviews with stakeholders and published material, or an academic style that sets out a logical framework and systematically explores an issue based on the author's previous work and that of others in the field. Endnotes are acceptable for a feature article. Feature articles must meet the highest standards in terms of the analytical rigour and reliability of the information presented. If possible, authors should supply contact names and addresses for readers to find further information about the topic.
Manuscripts are subject to review by experts in the field.
Acceptance of a manuscript, or the assignment of a commission, does not guarantee publication. Shorter reports normally do not have endnotes. Themes Each issue of Alternatives contains both theme and non-theme material. Recent themes have included Industrial Redesign, Green Energy, Community Redesign, Biodiversity, Urban Transportation, and Food. Upcoming themes are listed on our web site.
