How does it work?

  • A series of questions, covering a broad range of issues, are constantly reviewed by the editorial team. Questions can be proposed by anyone.
  • Two or three authors are invited to respond to each single question – who are likely to offer different perspectives and opinions on the issue(s) being explored.
  • Submissions are intended to be “quick reads” and therefore are limited to 1,250 words excluding footnotes and hyperlinks.
  • All submissions are subject to editorial control in respect to fact-checking, grammar and spelling. Once reviewed, each author is asked to approve the final version for publication.
  • In the instance that an author fails to reference a statement of fact, or quoted source, he or she will be asked by the editorial team to use an alternative prior to publication.
  • Each submission is to be written as an ‘Op-Ed’, thus reflecting the opinions of the author, and seek to advance a particular point of view and/or recommendation.
  • The views expressed in the UKNCC Guest Contributor Programme are of each author and do not represent those of UKNCC as an organisation or of any individual associated with it.
  • Contributors who prefer to participate by spoken interview (which is recorded and then transcribed) can be accommodated. Contributors will be asked to approve the final written version for publication.
  • Authors are not allowed to write anonymously or under a pseudonym.
