2) Call for papers
With the publication of Digital Medievalist 2.1, Digital Medievalist will shift over to a rolling publication. This means that accepted articles will be published as soon as they are copy-edited and proofed, rather than twice a year. Articles will be grouped into virtual volumes for archiving and referencing each December and June.
We are seeking contributions on digital topics for publication in our journal. Our interest is in articles discussing the use of technology to teach or research medieval topics. Suitable topics include reports on projects or tools making innovative use of technology, research results achieved using digital tools or techniques, theoretical or practical articles on the use of digital technology in medieval studies research or pedagogy. We accept notes as well as longer articles.
We are especially interested in articles on work in non-Anglophone culture, articles on innovative uses for computers in teaching, and research results produced using technology. Articles on other topics and Anglophone culture are of course also welcome.
All articles are peer-reviewed by experts with appropriate specialisations in humanities computing and/or medieval studies. Our rejection rate currently stands at approximately 50%.
DM also publishes reviews of tools, websites, and books/CD-ROMs. To discuss proposals for articles, recommend a work for review, or to enquire about opportunities to serve as a reviewer, please contact the general editor, daniel.odonnell@uleth.ca.
