THE TRIPLE HELIX INC. MELBOURNE UNIVERSITY CHAPTER INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENCE, SOCIETY AND LAW
Writing for the Triple Helix The Triple Helix focuses on scientific and technological developments and their implications for society and/or the law. As the focus of the journal is interdisciplinary in nature, articles must demonstrate an interdisciplinary approach. Articles that focus solely on the social, political, economic, or legal components of the issue to the detriment of the scientific thematic will not be published.
Major Forms of Articles In choosing a topic, you should also consider the approach you wish to take in relation to your chosen topic. Articles may take three major forms: A news review article outlines recent advancements in a particular field and evaluates them in the context of existing knowledge. Evaluations should be based upon a discussion of the relevant evidence and an analysis of the consistency of the evidence, concluding with areas for future research An analytical piece outlines how a particular scientific issue affects society. Analyses should provide a brief historical overview of the development, and then turn more broadly to its effects, focussing on the interaction between different community groups, the role of government and other stakeholders and/or different ethical frameworks. An opinion piece expresses your view on a current scientific issue, or on a legal or ethical issue in a scientific area. Opinion pieces should provide a brief overview of the issue, a critical examination of the current methods of dealing with the issue and a possible solution to the issue. These pieces must be backed by solid evidence and must also acknowledge opposing views.
Choosing Topics
Consider the list of topics posted on our website, and have a look at articles that have been published in previous editions of The Triple Helix. Peruse headlines from credible media sources. However, you should avoid rehashing popular or cliché arguments which have already been widely circulated. Check out the latest academic research from reputable publications. Look for papers which interest you and have an ethical, political, or societal component. If you see ethical parallels between your issue and mainstream ones, this is your opportunity to make the connection for readers. Essays and reports that have been completed as part of your undergraduate studies can also be submitted as long as they fit the journal’s requirements. Please be aware they may require some revision to suit our publication. You are encouraged to prepare several topics in case your original topic is unsuitable.
Article Proposal
The aim of an article proposal is to enable the editorial team to evaluate and give you early feedback on your article’s topic and approach. It is also a good opportunity for you to organise your preliminary research. The more information you can provide at this stage, the better. You will need to have: o A tentative/working title for your article o An idea of what approach your article will take o An outline of your major arguments, including examples and case studies
THE TRIPLE HELIX INC. MELBOURNE UNIVERSITY CHAPTER INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENCE, SOCIETY AND LAW
You will need to able to demonstrate the significance of your subject matter and the originality of your argument. It would be preferable if you are able to provide a working set of sources, but this is not strictly necessary, particularly if you have a substantial number of examples and case studies. You may submit more than one article proposal if you have several topics in mind.
Major stages of the process Article proposal submissions The editorial team evaluates submitted proposals based on how they fit with the journal’s aims and requirements. Once your proposal has been approved, an editor will provide you with feedback on your article. You should take the editor’s suggestions and comments into account when writing your first draft. Draft Submissions First drafts: Most editorial changes are made at this stage and you may be asked to provide sources for statements which require more substantiation, as well as rewrite certain paragraphs to improve the flow of the article. Second drafts: Editors will proofread your article and may ask for sources to be provided for statements which require more substantiation, particularly where new information has been inserted following the first draft. Your article is then submitted to a Faculty Advisor who will proofread your article and ensure that it is scientifically robust. You must amend your article in accordance with the Faculty Advisor’s comments. Final drafts: Your final draft should address all issues raised by the Faculty Advisor and contain all necessary sources to support any new information inserted. SLE approval: All major drafts are forwarded to the Senior Literary Editor of the region for approval. Writers must take the SLE’s comments into account for each draft. Other drafts: Please note that the first draft ’, ‘second draft, and ‘final draft’ stages are merely formal stages. It is quite common for several drafts to be exchanged between you and your editor in between these formal stages in order for your final draft to be perfect. Tracked changes: All changes and comments made are tracked and will be subject to your approval. However, you should note that articles which fail to meet the highest writing standards at the final draft stage will not be published. It would also be greatly appreciated if you could briefly address your grounds for rejecting any comments changes. Production Final drafts are sent to the US for production. Changes may be made by the US production team at this stage; however, this situation rarely occurs.
