The editorial policy is the rules for the author.
Before publishing a post, the author must check it for compliance with the following guidelines.
Addressing the reader
The address should be in the second person to reduce the distance and facilitate mutual understanding as much as possible.
Appropriate tone
It is forbidden to specify, to put pressure, to manipulate and the like, because the right of choice is a key Divine law, which under no circumstances should not be violated even by an iota, and for the violation of which a severe punishment is provided, and every reader has the right to ask the author for it.
The author, please remember:
Do not judge, and you will not be judged;
for with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with what measure you measure, it will be measured to you.
Matthew 7:1-2
Phraseology
Phraseology should not be simple. An unsimple form and a simple word stupefy and weaken. And a simple form and an unsimple word strain and strengthen.
Variants of successful speech turns:
- Instruction, solution, so that the novice reader could independently check the power of the word without spending much effort and time, in order to move on to unsimple learning in the future.
- A parable, a teaching based on the Lord’s Word, in which an experienced reader can find meaning that is hidden from the author of the text (in relation to their own life).
- Personal understanding of information from sources, with appropriate disclaimer.
- A personal story.
What turns to avoid
It is forbidden to teach from the author’s personality, because each person has their own life, and events that appear to be the same objectively may contain completely opposite subjective positions that determine the true meaning of the events.
Headlines
An ideal headline is a topic that explains a specific reader’s task.
Requirements for the structure of the post
- The main topic (question, problem).
- A solution that helps the reader solve their task.
- Justification and references to sources that help the reader quickly verify the proposed solution.
- Links to related topics (questions, problems) that the author has already covered, which helps the reader quickly find the necessary information.
- Related topics (questions, problems) that the author will cover later, so that the reader does not have an incomplete understanding.
Citation rules
Online publications should be cited with a hyperlink.
Books should be cited with a chapter and a paragraph.
