We welcome you to Niyogi Books’ blog site, Ink & Papyrus. Niyogi Books is renowned for its high quality texts about South Asia. The topics include art, architecture, heritage, culture, and history, as well as fiction and translations. The content we have on Ink & Papyrus should be conform to the values and the vision of the publishing house.
We are looking for well-researched articles in the following domains:
We expect our contributors to offer unique perspectives and, ideally, add a personal touch to them.
The guidelines are as below:
-
Articles should be within the range of 500–800 words. Editors hold the right to delete excess words, as per their judgement.
-
All facts, ideas, figures and statements taken from other sources MUST be referenced. Internet sources must be considered academically valid. Wikipedia does NOT count as a valid source. However, JSTOR and similar websites do.
-
Articles should be well-balanced and thoroughly researched. They should contain a good mix of facts, analyses, ideas, and criticisms.
-
The content provided must be original. Plagiarism will not be tolerated. The OED defines plagiarism as ‘the practice of taking someone else’s work or ideas and passing them off as one’s own’. It includes:
A) Copying an article you did not write yourself.
B) Not citing an idea, fact, or statistic that you did not discover or come up with.
C) Altering some words from an article, book, or other source, and claiming to have written it.
D) Copying paragraphs from different sources and arranging them into an article without citing them.
