Dear all,
I am very pleased to announce that the first articles of Digital Medievalist journal Issue 8 are now available at http://digitalmedievalist.org/journal/. The new articles focus primarily on digitisation of manuscripts, in the form of facsimile editions and 'codicology and palaeography in the Digital Age' more generally, as well as a qualitative study of the use of online manuscripts which relates to the current discussion on this list about digital scholarly editions. There are further articles in the pipeline, including one that will be available very soon on a digital edition of the medieval charters of St Denis.
I want to take this opportunity to thank the editorial team for a lot of hard work, and to remind you that we are always interested in new submissions to the journal. We operate a policy of rolling release, meaning that we publish articles as soon as they are available; this means in turn that we typically have a shorter time to publication than most traditional journals, though of course this depends on the time it takes for peer review and so on. Guidelines for submission are available from http://digitalmedievalist.org/journal/1.1/submission/.
Happy reading, and we look forward to receiving your submissions.
Peter
