Call For Papers - NeXUS Magazine
 
NeXUS Magazine, "For Users of Advanced Computers", is soliciting 
papers/articles/columns for publication.  NeXUS will be published bimonthly 
beginning with the November/December 1990 issue.
 
Statement Of Purpose
NeXUS provides Information Workers with the knowledge they need to 
make the most productive use of their tools.  The aim is to help improve 
their understanding of the details they need to work.  We present in-depth 
tutorials on applications for advanced hardware/software platforms in 
general, and the NeXT computer in general.  The subject matter is detailed 
and presented in a highly technical manner excepting issues which are of a 
broader interest (i.e., unless there is a great need for it, there will be NO 
comparisons of hard drives, plotters, and the like, but there will be product 
reviews).
 
Format
NeXUS is a magazine focused on providing highly-technical information to 
enable its readers to be effective in Today's competitive workplace.  To 
accomplish this, an article guideline has been established:  Each article must 
provide information about using a specific hardware and/or software tool 
productively, or must provide information on how to use the computer to 
fulfill a particular need.
 
Each issue will have a specific theme of which no fewer than three technical 
articles will be featured.  Each chosen theme will also remain faithful to the 
article guidline.
 
While there will be reviews and an occasional "Let's look at the whole forest" 
overview of some topics of interest, articles will generally be substantive.
