Do O'ists contribute to scholarly journals?

[NIJamesHughes]

I was reading a book last night and browsed the bibliography and noticed a journal called "the journal of consciousness studies," and I thought, "Wow, that would be a great place for Objectivist's to really show their stuff in regards to epistemology." I started to search the net and found that there are journals for ever branch of philosophy. Most of the ones I found even want you to submit books for them to review. Here is a list of scholarly journals http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/ lets all suggest they review Ayn Rand's book for that field, and encourage Objectivist writers to submit their works.

The former is a nice suggestion, but unrealistic. Reviews are of recently published books relevant to the journal's domain. Smith's 2000 Viable Values was reviewed in Journal of Value Inquiry 2001, and I don't know of any more recent book. So for book reviews, get writing folks. OTOH for articles, you don't have to wait for someone to publish a book you want reviewed. Don't limit your target to just to U. Chicago Press.

Thanks for the reply, David, and I will look for more journals to search.

In the mean time I did find a source of "Objectivist Scholarship" with a lot of articles. I don't recognize most of the names, a notable exception is Diana Hsieh. Some of the titles I looked at cover all of OPAR, ITOE, and BBTC.
