FYI!
The Journal of Critical Digital Librarianship (JCDL) is inviting you to submit feminist, anti-racist, anti-colonial, queer, and/or anti-ableist perspectives on digital librarianship. We accept article manuscripts, literature reviews, and reviews of digital collections, as well as relevant multimedia explorations such as podcast episodes, information visualizations, and other creative formats. If you have an idea for thoughtful scholarship, we would love to hear about it. We are interested in critical approaches to: - Selection for digitization
- Metadata remediation
- Digital scholarship
- Collections as data
- Teaching with digital collections
- Digital library technology
JCDL is an open-access and open peer review journal. As an open peer review journal, we eschew anonymity in favor of rigorous and transparent dialogue. Authors have the opportunity to speak directly with their reviewers–to ask clarifying questions, flesh out ideas, and potentially push back on suggestions. We believe that these conversations are professionally generative for both reviewers and authors.
We publish work on an ongoing basis and assign them to that year's issue. If accepted, your work will be published as soon as it has completed the review process, and it will be officially wrapped into the next closing issue. We ask that submitted articles not exceed 7,000 words and reviews not exceed 5,000 words. The JCDL uses Chicago Manual of Style, Notes and Bibliography.
If you are interested in submitting your work to JCDL, please view our submission guidelines.
Email Leah Duncan at leduncan@davidson.edu with any questions. We look forward to collaborating with you!
