Philosophy of Exigence

The journal will accept a limited number of submissions so as to showcase only exemplary works. Assessment of submissions will follow a rubric developed by the editorial board emphasizing cogency of argument, originality of argument, rhetorical aptitude, logical consistency, sound arrangement, appropriate style, and correctness in grammar and mechanics. For more information, please see Exigence Aims and Scope page.

Who Can Submit?

Only active VCCS students should submit to Exigence, provided provided he or she has created the work being submitted. To qualify as an active VCCS student, one should be registered for at least one class in one of Virginia’s 23 community colleges in the semester that the Call for Papers is sent.

General Submission Rules

All submissions must be submitted to Exigence digitally by the original author. Essays submitted by an instructor on behalf of a student will not be accepted. Students are allowed to submit up to three (3) research essays to Exigence for each issue, but all work should be original work from the semester of the Call for Papers.

Submitted articles cannot have been previously published, nor be forthcoming in an archival journal or book (print or electronic). Please note: "publication" in a working-paper series does not constitute prior publication. In addition, by submitting material to Exigence, the author is stipulating that the material is not currently under review at another journal (electronic or print) and that he or she will not submit the material to another journal (electronic or print) until the completion of the editorial decision process at Exigence. If you have concerns about the submission terms for Exigence, please contact the editors.

Formatting Requirements

Exigence has no general rules about the formatting of articles upon initial submission. There are, however, rules governing the formatting of the final submission. See Final Manuscript Preparation Guidelines for details. Although bepress can provide limited technical support, it is ultimately the responsibility of the author to produce an electronic version of the article as a high-quality PDF (Adobe's Portable Document Format) file, or a Microsoft Word, WordPerfect or RTF file that can be converted to a PDF file.

It is understood that the current state of technology of Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF) is such that there are no, and can be no, guarantees that documents in PDF will work perfectly with all possible hardware and software configurations that readers may have.
