Editorial Policy:

The editors strive to maintain a high-level, scholarly forum in which professionals and qualified students in this field can exchange ideas and useful information.

This is a moderated list, and in this sense we publish submissions, and do not act as a conduit in a chat room. Given that H-Net maintains a permanent day-by-day log of messages with a search engine open to anyone, we consider H-Genocide messages as published materials.

The editors distinguish between editorship and censorship. The editors make every effort to encourage a free exchange of ideas and decline only those postings that might dilute the purpose of the list and/or undermine the participation of experts, professionals, students, and others. For example polemics, flames, messages that cross the line separating historical scholarship from political advocacy and lastly, ad hominem attacks. Inevitably, some messages may be returned as either inappropriate or, more likely, for editing. Those emails returned will be accompanied by an explanation. The editor's decisions may, of course, be appealed, in which case the matter can be relayed to the full editorial board for final adjudication.
