Aim and Scope
EJournal is a pioneering all-electronic, peer-reviewed, multi-disciplinary
academic journal published since 1991. We are especially interested in
theory and practice surrounding the creation, transmission, storage,
interpretation, alteration and replication of electronic "text," broadly defined.
We are also interested in the broader social, psychological, literary,
economic and pedagogical implications of computer-mediated networks.Feature articles should be thoroughly researched, theoretically and philosophically driven, capable of broad application, and accessible by educated non-technical readers. We are especially (though not exclusively) interested in areas such as:
In addition, we solicit reviews, notes, comments, brief reports of research in progress, and other supplementary materials. Except as appendices to more theoretically driven articles, simple lists of resources and similar material are discouraged. Only original papers written in English will be considered for publication.
- implications of new forms of text for the development of philosophy, literature, science, journalism, and knowledge in general
- processes of reading, writing and comprehending new forms of text
- connections between new forms of text and new forms of teaching and learning
- the role of libraries, electronic journals and other forms of knowledge distribution in the information age
- methods of promoting "information literacy" in its widest sense, especially in an academic environment
- faculty development in an information age
EJournal will publish both linear essays (electronic analogues of paper essays) and more adventurous hypertext essays.
