    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.

    EJournal is currently soliciting theoretically and philosophically
    driven feature articles on the above topics. Reviews and other short
    items are welcome. We are also interested in hearing from people who
    would like to review manuscripts.

    Please see the EJournal home page for details, submission guidelines,
    and back issues:
