[Air-l] CFP: Research E-ditions 2001

[jeremy hunsinger]

The Center for Digital Discourse and Culture (CDDC) in the College of Arts 
and Sciences at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University is 
accepting new manuscripts for digital modes of publication in its Research 
E-ditions series. The CDDC ( http://www.cddc.vt.edu ) has been in operation 
for over two years, and it publishes hypertext journals, hosts digital 
research archives,  and cooperates with many international cyberculture 
organizations.  You can find examples of our Research E-ditions at 
http://www.cddc.vt.edu/editions.html .

As an entirely digital point-of-publication, the CDDC will review and then 
produce professional academic research works--either single-authored or 
edited collections--in a digital format. Proposals could take the form of 
an "e-book" that simply makes available a scholarly monograph in online 
format, or a collection of academic papers organized around a central 
theme, or a fully hypertextual experiment with new forms of digital 
discourse. Proposals could also be made for hosting or mirroring material 
that you have on your site or for community building or teaching resources 
like bibliographies or  discussion systems for your specific community.

Arrangements can be made for "print on demand" (POD) paper versions of 
these works, but the main focus of the CDDC is to explore the new 
communicative potentials of hypertext, hypermedia, and web-centered 
publication. The review processes will be as extensive and rigorous as 
those experienced in print academic communication,  but it too will be 
conducted in a fully on-line format.

All topics are potentially of interest in the Research E-ditions series, 
however, we are particularly interested in manuscripts, digital archives, 
and hypertexts from the humanities and social sciences relating to the 
areas of cyberculture, social theory, literary studies, digital art, and 
cultural studies. In addition, the CDDC is committed to Proposals from 
applied and natural sciences that relate directly to the fields of 
bioinformatics, energy and environmental studies, and information 
technology and communications.
