David Parry, an assistant professor of emerging media and communications at the University of Texas at Dallas, argues that scholars have an obligation to publish their research in journals that make free copies available online. The debate over open access to research has heated up in recent months among college faculty and librarians. Libraries are finding it increasingly difficult to purchase excessively high priced journals--some running as much as $40,000 a year. With that in mind, this blog will regularly post information about this debate and professional journals offering open issues who encourage faculty to submit publications. Enculturation is the first one in this series.
Enculturation is a refereed journal devoted to contemporary theories of rhetoric, writing, and culture. They accept academic work in all media forms suitable for web-based publication, including conventional articles, hypertexts, videos, and multimedia projects. Submitted articles and projects are blind-reviewed and considered for publication on the understanding that they are not under consideration elsewhere. Traditional articles should be approximately 4000-6000 words long, reviews 1000-2000 words. They also invite unsolicited reviews for books, CDs, films, websites, media events, and conferences. Enculturation is published under an Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike Creative Commons License.
