In its mission statement we read “Philosophers’ Imprint is a refereed series of original papers in philosophy, edited by philosophy faculty at the University of Michigan, with the advice of an international Board of Editors, and published on the World Wide Web by the University of Michigan Digital Library. The mission of the Imprint is to promote a future in which funds currently spent on journal subscriptions are redirected to the dissemination of scholarship for free, via the Internet”.

The class helps authors to typeset their own articles in “Web-ready” format. No assumption is made about the fonts available to the author: the class itself is restricted to freely available and freely distributed fonts, only.
