As John Searle puts it, raising the subject of consciousness in cognitive science discussions is no longer considered to be ``bad taste'', causing graduate students to ``roll their eyes at the ceiling and assume expressions of mild disgust.'' But why are we interested in consciousness? Most people are interested not just because of the academic and interdisciplinary challenges, but because of their personal experience - we have consciousness, we experience it; perhaps we even think that we ``are'' it. But, if we are to make progress in studying consciousness, we will have to think about it very clearly, and engage in serious constructive dialogues between a variety of viewpoints. And that is the purpose of this journal. The field of consciousness studies is at a very early stage, characterized by crude theories, most of which are unlikely to stand the test of time. We prefer a broad, diverse and open conceptualization - including political consciousness, and ecological consciousness (for example in the sense of Bateson's ``ecology of mind''), but we do not wish to define for our authors exactly what any of these terms mean. We seek to provoke a spirited debate by actively seeking serious opposing views, for example from cognitive science, biology and philosophy. The Journal of Consciousness Studies covers this broad field by: Presenting serious peer-reviewed scientific and humanistic papers in non-technical language Including philosophical critiques of contemporary research Considering submissions from all disciplines and viewpoints Encouraging a robust and lively debate on the full range of issues involved A good mix of submitted papers and special issues Instructions to Authors Style Sheet and Guide to Authors A Multi-Disciplinary Journal The Journal of Consciousness Studies is a refereed journal aimed at an educated multi-disciplinary readership. Authors should not assume prior knowledge in a subject speciality and should provide background information for their research. The use of technical terms should be avoided or made explicit. Where technical details are essential (for example in laboratory experiments), try and include them in footnotes or appendices, leaving the text accessible to the non-specialist reader. The same principle should also apply to mathematics, unless essential to an argument. General Points Contributions should be clearly typed in double spacing leaving a wide (c. 2 inch) margin at the left hand side of the page for editorial marking. Three copies should be submitted and contributors should retain a copy for proof-reading purposes. A short 150 word summary should accompany each submission. Articles should not normally exceed 9,000 words (including footnotes). In general authors should adhere to the usages and conventions in Fowler's Modern English Usage which should be consulted for all questions not covered in these notes. Please note that manuscripts can only be returned if postage is prepaid. Please include a short CV for the ``about authors'' section. Text Quotations of more than six lines should be indented and double spaced. For shorter quotations use single inverted commas. All references should appear in the bibliography. Use square brackets for interpolations; use three dots to indicate the omission of material within a quotation. Original spelling and punctuation should be retained unless otherwise stated. Capitals should be used sparingly. Capitalize proper names and substantives where they refer to particular individuals. Thus, ``the King fled to Dover'', but ``kings do not habitually depart in haste''; ``The Parliament refused to be threatened'', but ``parliaments are malleable''. Dates and numbers should take the following form. For dates the form is, ``14 July 1789''. Write ``seventeenth century'', not ``C17th''. Numbers under 100 should be spelled out, apart from page numbers, dates and month, or where they occur as part of a series. The second or subsequent number of a pair or series may be abbreviated as appropriate, thus 253-6, and 254-61. Italics, abbreviations. Use italics for non-naturalised words of foreign origin. Thus Weltanschauung but elite. Omit full stops from common abbreviations and acronyms: MP, USA. Footnotes, References and Bibliographies Footnote numbering should be consecutive superscript throughout the article. References to books and articles should be by way of author (date) or (author, date). Multiple publications from the same year should be labelled (Skinner, 1966a, b, c ...). A single bibliography at the end should be compiled alphabetically observing the following conventions: References to books should take the following form: Jantsch, Erich (1980), The Self-Organizing Universe (Oxford and New York: Pergamon). References to articles should take the following form: Black, Antony (1993), `The juristic origins of social contract theory', History of Political Thought, XIV, pp. 157-76.
