A thematic issue of Literary and Linguistic Computing
<http://www3.oup.co.uk/jnls/list/litlin/> is planned which aims to bring
together a variety of papers reflecting the research of young scholars in the
wide field of Humanities Computing. The editors of this volume (Melissa
Terras and Edward Vanhoutte) are looking for candidates who will have a
chance to report on their research in this most established journal in the
discipline. Preference will be given to those at the start of their academic
career, such as PhD or advanced master degree students.
Participants should supply a brief outline of their academic history, current
academic affiliation, date of birth, and abstracts of 500 words detailing the
research being undertaken and outlining the subject of their paper. Each
proposal will be subject to peer review, with the ten best being selected for
publication in this volume of LLC. Authors chosen for publication will be then
required to submit a 4-5,000 word paper regarding their research. Each
author will have the opportunity to be mentored by a senior scholar in the
discipline to aid in the completion of their paper.
Proposals should be sent no later than March 1st 2002 to the editors at
<[log in to unmask]>. Applicants will be contacted regarding their proposal
in early June 2002. Successful applicants will be required to submit their
papers by November 2002. Publication is planned for the Spring 2003.
This is an excellent opportunity for young scholars in the field of Humanities
Computing to be published in a widely read, esteemed journal. Although this
call is primarily for young scholars in Humanities Computing, all proposals
will be considered as long as they are not from those who hold a full time
academic post. People who have began their academic careers late, and
have not yet had the opportunity to establish themselves in their discipline
are encouraged to submit a paper. The editors are striving for as wide a
coverage of Humanities Computing as possible and encourage senior
academics to circulate this call for papers.
