Our editorial collectives work to produce print magazines, and there are open submissions at all times for the online only magazine. Both are directly overseen by the managing editor. The **print** magazine is published three times a year with a thematic focus decided upon through a collaboration between by working groups or chapters of the organization and the publication and communications committee. Once the upcoming theme for an issue is selected and the previous issue starts to draw to a conclusion, an invitation to submit articles is shared with the entire organization and posted publicly in the [call for proposals](https://magazine.scienceforthepeople.org/call-for-pitches/) (link updated for every issue). The **online** magazine is not thematic and can cover any topic that potential authors are interested in writing about. These submissions are sent directly to [sftp.publishing@gmail.com](mailto:undefined). Authors are expected to submit a detailed proposal outlining the concept, structure, and major points to be taken away from the article. These submissions are reviewed first by the managing editor of the magazine, who then recruits magazine editors with expertise, knowledge, or specific interest in the topic of the submission for further review before collectively deciding whether to accept or reject the submission. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://sftpmag.gitbook.io/sftp-publishing/submitting-to-sftp-magazine.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
