The editors of Academic.Writing, CCC online, Enculturation, Kairos, and The Writing Instructor seek submissions for a special multi-journal issue on "Electronic Publishing." Though these are primarily journals in rhetoric and composition, the issue of electronic publication affects all disciplines. Projects may address but are not limited to these possible topics: Literacy, assessment, disciplinarity; Tenure and promotion; Hypertext and academic criticism; Archiving and historicity; Viability and institutionality. In addition to academic writing, we are interested in narratives or editorials regarding positive or negative experiences with review committees or editorial boards; musings about the impact of the Internet on print journals or thoughts for future engagements; multi-media projects; reviews of relevant web sites/projects; reviews of e-journals. We are primarily interested in how electronic publication is affecting and will affect what we all do as academics.
