RESEARCH E-DITIONS @ Virginia Tech
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 nearly two years,
and it publishes hypertext journals, hosts digital research archives, and
cooperates with many international cyberculture organizations.
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.
Projects 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.
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 publishing projects from applied
and natural sciences that relate directly to the fields of bioinformatics,
energy and environmental studies, and information technology and
communications.

Center for Digital Discourse and Culture at cddc@vt.edu .
