STATEMENT CONCERNING ADJUNCT PROCEEDINGS

From the General Secretary of the IAHR

Dear Keynote Speakers and Panel and Symposia Organizers,

On behalf of the IAHR, I would like to thank the keynote speakers for your willingness to share your insights and research results at the 19th World Congress in Tokyo. We ask you to please plan your papers for publication in the congress proceedings and would appreciate being consulted on any alternative plans that you might have.

Gratitude is also extended to colleagues for your efforts in coordinating panels and symposia of high quality during the World Congress. It is your dedication and industry which helps ensure the success of the congress.

Please note that the Executive Committee may invite individual organizers of panels and symposia to propose a publication of Adjunct Proceedings. Subject to approval by the Executive Committee, editors of Adjunct Proceedings are permitted to use the name of the IAHR event in the title or other prominent section of the publication. It is assumed that all spin-off volumes, whether approved or not, acknowledge that the papers were presented at the IAHR congress. Furthermore, it is requested that a minimum of 12 free copies be made available to the Executive Committee of all spin-off publications. Alternative agreements can be reached for hosts residing in economically weak countries.

In the event that you feel your particular panel or symposium is of good quality, we invite you to send a proposal for Adjunct Proceedings as soon as possible. The proposal should include the name or names of the editor/s, the preliminary table of contents, a brief statement of the content and the name of the publishing company.

We also request all journal editors and publishers who receive articles and manuscripts based on papers given at the IAHR World Congress ensure that there is an acknowledgment along the following lines: "This article is a revised version of a paper given at the 19th World Congress of the International Association for the History of Religions in Tokyo, March 24-30, 2005".

Please feel free to contact me in Tokyo for further information. We look forward to meeting you all in there!

Yours truly,
Armin W. Geertz
