The Glia Society journal Thoth

Description

The journal "Thoth" is members-only and appears bimonthly in digital form (P.D.F.). It guarantees absolute freedom of speech and has no editorial changes or censorship of any kind. Thoth is filled with members' submissions, and occasionally contains material by others.

Thoth currently has 44 pages, the effective size (excluding margins) of a page being 122 by 185 millimetre. The P.D.F. file shows one page at a time, and text is principally presented in one 122 mm column, so that no horizontal scrolling or jumping up and down from column to column are needed. Images are frequently included.

Copy

Copy is mostly submitted in word processor files (OpenOffice.org Writer or MicroSoft Word) with possible images inserted, although plain text and H.T.M.L. files are also very suitable. It is recommended to attach images separately as well, to avoid loss of quality in processing them. To obtain a balance between resolution and file size, images are mostly sized so that about 80 pixels per centimetre (200 pixels per inch) are present.

It is possible and encouraged to submit copy even if one is not a member but has material one thinks is of interest to the Glia Society members. Copy should be sent to the Administrator. If it concerns commercial material that should be considered advertisement, a small fee may be charged.

Thoth is named after the Egyptian moon god, who weighed the hearts of the deceased to determine if they would be admitted to the hereafter or, if the examination was failed, torn apart by a monster. Thoth is also the name used by the future Grail Society member.
