pages of Amicus Illuminism where to submit an article. A
brief guide on Scottish Right publications by Brother b Chris Rouley,

(00:23):
thirty second degree, KCCCH Assistant Grand Historian and editor the
plumb Line Scottish Right Research Society, and comes from the
September October twenty twenty five issue of the Scottish Right Journal.
In the summer Autumn twenty twenty four edition of Amicus Illuminism,
as well as the September October twenty twenty four issue

(00:44):
of the Scottish Right Journal, we highlighted five recommendations for
those interested in Masonic focused writing and research. The piece
generated enthusiastic responses from our readers who were eager to
contribute to Scottish Rite publications. My colleague illustrious Mark Dreisenstock
thirty third degree and illustrious Adam Kendall, thirty third degree,

(01:06):
editors of The Scottish Right Journal and Herodom respectively, often
field questions from prospective authors who wish to contribute to
the many publications available and to find out their options.
There are several national publications in both print and digital formats,
and each has its own audience, focus, flavor and interests.
Here is a brief overview of the four major Scottish

(01:28):
Right Southern Jurisdiction publications and where you should consider submitting
your next paper. The Scottish Right Journal is the flagship
publication of the Supreme Council thirty third degree Southern Jurisdiction.
The periodical ran from nineteen oh four through nineteen eighty
nine under its former title The New Age. The journal
currently is distributed to each member of the Scottish Right

(01:50):
Southern Jurisdiction and features a message from the Grand Commander,
announcements of special events and activities, biographies, book reviews, puzzles,
the Chips from the Quarry, Illustrated feature and general interest
research papers that may extend beyond Scottish Right topics. Papers
usually range between one to three pages or four hundred
fifty to thirteen hundred fifty words excluding words used for

(02:13):
captions to Illustrations. The Scottish Right Journal is available in
print and digital formats. Doctor Dreisenstock serves as the publication's editor.
Amicus Illuminism is a publication of the Supreme Council's Library,
once known as Amicus Librarian, Friend of the Library. Discussions
of rare books, book collections and historic Masonic periodicals are

(02:35):
important topics for the magazine, yet it also features quite
prominently articles on Masonic literature, exhibits and items of interests
from our museums and archives. Amicus is free and available
only digitally, although its major articles often find a home
in print in from the pages of Amicus Illuminism series

(02:56):
in the Scottish Right Journal. Illustrious. Streisenstock also serves as
a us this publication's editor. The plumb Line is the
quarterly bulletin of the Scottish Rite Research Society SRRs. It
is distributed digitally to all SRRs members and features short
form research papers around fifteen hundred to twenty five hundred words, announcements,

(03:17):
book reviews, and any other relevant information with a research focus.
Prospective authors do not have to be members of the
SRRs to submit papers, but we strongly encourage researchers to
join as they gain access to regular editions of the
publication along with their annual copy of Herodom and bonus content.
Research papers should advance knowledge and understanding of a particular

(03:41):
subject through new insights, data, or perspectives. Please refer to
the Herodom's style guide when submitting a paper for consideration.
Brother Chris Ruley serves as the editor. Heredom is the
flagship research publication of the Scottish Rite Research Society. It
is produced annually and features long form reacts search papers
on different Masonic topics, including history, philosophy, ritual, biographies, commentary

(04:07):
and other topics by many of the country's leading fraternal researchers.
The publication is only available in print and prospective authors
should expect a lengthy peer review process. Like the plumb Line, Heredom,
papers should advance contemporary understanding of the particular subject and
be noteworthy to its membership. Illustrious Kendall is the editor

(04:27):
of this publication. You can learn more about the plumb
Line and Heredom and find relevant style guides on the
Scottish Rite Research Society's website Scottish Rtresearch dot com. Together,
these four publications represent the diverse range of scholarship and
storytelling that defines Masonic writing today. Whether you are interested

(04:48):
in short reflections, original research, or contributions rooted in archival discovery,
there is a platform well suited to your work. We
encourage aspiring authors, new and exp variance alike to review
each publication's focus and style, as well as to reach
