4. So are we creating a web site?
Not at all! Web hosting costs a lot in an
early basis, and this e-Magazine project
is a non-profitable one. So instead a web
site, we use Blogger

6. Publishing Format
Adobe's Portable Document
Format (pdf) is the best
option for publishing
magazines, as one can't edit
it but just read it. The
screen resolution, font's
compatibility need not to be
bothered in case of a PDF
file.

12. Nature of the article
It should be original, precise, relevant and genuinely
authored.
But in case, you just cut-copy-paste them from
Wikipedia pages or millions of websites, or forge with
an already published articles from other magazines
like ours either electronic or print media, we can do
nothing.
But let’s not do it, so that no one can blame us for
being immoral.

28. Clarification
Note
Here, ‘Editor’ refers the person who edits the articles and
moderates the content suitably for publishing.
It doesn’t mean the author. Any number of students and any
one can write articles for the magazine from a class.
The editors’ job is to shortlist the articles from all the
students from him/her class and give preference to the best
articles, which to be included in the department supplement
magazine of “The AUTianz”.
29. Department Supplement Issues
The department editor, a tentative post to be filled by
analyzing the total number of applicants from a department,
holds the responsibility of creating the Department
supplement magazine of “The AUTianz” and making the PDF
issue with Microsoft Office Publisher 2010 and sending it via
e-Mail to the web maintenance team.
In case no one applies for the post of editor from a class, the
articles from that class will be moderated and edited by an
editor outside the class.
