+As said in its mission statement at

+the University of Michigan Digital Library. The mission of the Imprint

+subscriptions are redirected to the dissemination of scholarship for
+free, via the Internet.''  The journal used to accept manuscripts in
+Rich Text Format only.  However, for many authors, especially from the
+field of logic, TeX seems to be a better choice.  I was commissioned
+to write a LaTeX class for this journal.
+
+The aim of the class is to help authors to typeset their own
+articles in the ``Web-ready'' format.  We do not assume the authors
+have any commercial fonts installed on their machines.  The class
+uses only freely available and freely distributed fonts.

+\section{Description}
+
+\emph{Philosophers' Imprint} is a refereed series of original papers
+in philosophy, edited by philosophy faculty at the University of
+Michigan, with the advice of an international Board of Editors, and
+published on the World Wide Web by the University of Michigan Digital
+Library. The mission of the \emph{Imprint} is to promote a future in
+which funds currently spent on journal subscriptions are redirected to
+the dissemination of scholarship for free, via the Internet.
+
+Although the \emph{Imprint} is edited by analytically trained
+philosophers, it is not restricted to any particular field or school
+of philosophy. Its target audience consists primarily of academic
+philosophers and philosophy students, but it also aims to attract
+non-academic readers to philosophy by making excellent philosophical
+scholarship available without license or subscription.
+
+The \emph{Imprint} issues papers at irregular intervals; readers can
+receive periodic notices of recent publications by subscribing to an
+electronic mailing list. Papers are published in an attractive,
+typeset format that can be read on-screen or printed by the reader.
+Their physical appearance and Universal Resource Locators (URLs) are
+permanently fixed, to allow for reliable citations. The \emph{Imprint}
+provides its own indexes and full-text search engine, in addition to
+being indexed by \emph{Philosophers' Index} and public search engines.
+
+Submissions to the \emph{Imprint} are refereed anonymously and
+selected for publication on the basis of their estimated long-term
+significance.  The \emph{Imprint} does not publish regular book
+reviews or discussion notes, though papers responsive to the current
+literature may of course meet the Editors' criteria. Submissions must
+be sent electronically; submissions in hard copy will not be
+considered, acknowledged, or returned. Although there is no page limit
+on submissions, the Editors value economy of expression and do not
+currently plan to publish book-length works.
+
+
+\section{Mission}
+
+\vspace*{-0.25\baselineskip}
+There is a possible future in which academic libraries no longer spend
+millions of dollars purchasing, binding, housing, and repairing
+printed journals, because they have assumed the role of publishers,
+cooperatively disseminating the results of academic research for free,
+via the Internet. Each library could bear the cost of publishing some
+of the world's scholarly output, since it would be spared the cost of
+buying its own copy of any scholarship published in this way. The
+results of academic research would then be available without cost to
+all users of the Internet, including students and teachers in
+developing countries, as well as members of the general public. 
+
+These developments would not spell the end of the printed book or the
+bricks-and-mortar library. On the contrary, academic libraries would
+finally be able to reverse the steep decline in their rate of
+acquiring books (which fell 25\% from 1986 to 1996), because they
+would no longer be burdened with the steeply rising cost of journals
+(which increased 66\% in the same
+period)\footnote{\cite{Harnad99:FreeAtLast}; \cite{NewSystems};
+  \cite{ScholarsForum}}.
+
+The problem is that we don't know how to get to that future from here,
+and there are so many other, less desirable futures in which we might
+end up instead. The current trend toward licensing access to
+electronic versions of journals is counterproductive, since it
+reproduces the unnecessary economy of subscriptions and permissions,
+in which intellectual property produced at universities is transferred
+to those who can collect fees for its dissemination. Now that academic
+institutions have access to the Internet, they have no reason to pay
+subscription or subvention fees to anyone for disseminating the
+results of academic research.
+
+Unfortunately, significant obstacles stand in the way of a transition
+to fully electronic publishing. Authors do not view electronic
+publication as prestigious, readers do not view the electronic
+literature as authoritative, and neither of these views seems likely
+to develop in the absence of the other. Younger scholars are unsure
+whether electronic publications will count towards tenure and
+promotion. And the funds that would support electronic publication and
+archiving are tied up in print subscriptions that can't be
+discontinued until an electronic alternative is available.
+
+\emph{Philosophers' Imprint} aims to overcome these obstacles in order
+to promote the free electronic dissemination of scholarship. The
+\emph{Imprint} is designed to combine the permanence and authority of
+print with the instant and universal accessibility of the Internet.
+The Editors select for publication only those submissions which are
+judged to be of lasting value, on the basis of a blind refereeing
+process. Having no commitments to subscribers, the Editors are free to
+publish as few papers as are found to meet an absolute standard of
+quality. Each paper is given a fixed, typeset appearance and a stable
+Universal Resource Locator (URL), to allow for reliable citations. The
+University of Michigan Digital Library has committed funds to produce
+the \emph{Imprint}, to provide it with indexes and a full-text search
+engine, and to ensure the permanent accessibility of its archives.
+
+No license, subscription, or registration is required for access to
+the \emph{Imprint} Because the \emph{Imprint} has no subscription
+income, it must operate economically, without paper or postage.
+Contributors are therefore required to submit their work
+electronically. Refereeing will take place on a secure website, and
+all correspondence with authors will be by electronic mail. Finally,
+the \emph{Imprint} will not manage rights and permissions. Permission
+for instructional uses won't be necessary, since the \emph{Imprint}
+will be accessible without charge to teachers and students alike;
+permission for other uses will be managed by the authors, who will
+retain copyright in their work.
+
+
+\section{Instructions for Subscribing to the Mailing List}
+
+New papers are published by the \emph{Imprint} at irregular intervals,
+as they are refereed, selected, and edited. Readers who wish to be
+notified of new publications by the \emph{Imprint} may subscribe to an
+electronic mailing list, by sending an e-mail to
+\path{philosophers-imprint-general-request@umich.edu} with the word
+'subscribe' in the subject field. Notices will be sent no more
+frequently than once a month. (To be removed from the mailing list,
+send a message to the same address with the word 'unsubscribe' in the
+subject field.)
+
+\section{Instructions for Submitting a Paper}
+
+\subsection{Formatting your paper}
+
+We strongly prefer to receive submissions in Rich Text Format (RTF).
+Compose your paper in a standard word-processing application. Prepare
+the paper for blind refereeing by removing personal references,
+including those which may be automatically inserted in the
+``Properties'' or ``Summary'' field of the document. Save your paper in
+Rich Text Format (RTF), with the extension ``.rtf'' after the filename.
+
+\subsection{\LaTeX{} manuscripts}
+
+If your paper contains symbols or equations that cannot be handled by
+a standard word-processor, you may submit a pdf file produced from
+LaTeX. If the paper is accepted, you will be responsible for
+formatting it using the Imprint macros at:
+\url{http://ctan.tug.org/macros/latex/contrib/philosophersimprint}
+
+\subsection{Submitting your paper}
+
+To submit a paper to Philosophers' Imprint, visit
+\url{http://www.philosophersimprint.org/submissions/}, fill out the
+form, and upload your submission. You should receive an acknowledgment
+from the Editors within a week. \emph{Philosophers' Imprint} no longer
+accepts submissions by email.
