>>  barnold at uwm.edu
>>  Subject: e-Keltoi
>>
>>
>>  The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Center for Celtic Studies is
>>  developing an electronic journal entitled e-Keltoi: Journal of
>>  Interdisciplinary Celtic Studies. The journal will be an integral part
>of
>>  the Center's mission to promote and disseminate research and
>communication
>>  related to Celtic cultures, past and present, in the academic arena as
>well
>>  as for the general public. Web resources on Celtic culture that are
>>  content-rich, reliable and current are rare, and are very much in
>demand.
>>  The mission of the journal is to provide free access to high-quality,
>>  peer-reviewed articles solicited to address specific themes from
>several
>>  different cross-disciplinary and international perspectives.
>>
>>  e-Keltoi is:
>>
>>  Thematic
>>  Interdisciplinary
>>  Cross-cultural
>>  Peer-reviewed
>>  Free
>>
>>
>>  Disciplinary categories include:
>>
>>  Archaeology
>>  Folklore
>>  History
>>  Languages/Linguistics
>>  Literature
>>  Performing Arts
>>  Political Science/Economics
>>  Visual Arts
>>
>>
>>  The themes for the first five issues are:
>>
>>  Nationalism
>>  Diaspora
>>  Gender
>>  Warfare
>>  Cultural Survival
>>
>>
>>  The goal of e-Keltoi is to present several general themes (for
>example,
>>  Nationalism) within the framework of the Celtic world to which various
>>  academic disciplines can contribute, producing a synergy and opening
>up an
>>  avenue for dialogue. The electronic format of the journal will make it
>>  possible for several media to be accessible simultaneously - for
>example, a
>>  visitor to the site could read an exegesis on Scottish nationalism and
>then
>>  click on the passage to hear a recording of the Corries singing "Come
>O'er
>>  the Stream Charlie", or an article on French nationalism could include
>video
>>  clips of French politicians giving speeches on the summit of a Celtic
>>  hillfort.
>>
>>  Rather than following the traditional print format of sequential
>issues that
>>  appear according to a set schedule once a sufficient number of
>submissions
>>  have been through the editing and review process, e-Keltoi will
>operate on a
>>  more flexible and open-ended basis, with five themed issues open to
>>  submissions simultaneously. As articles are submitted they will be
>sent out
>>  for review by at least three members of the Review Board. Based on
>reviewer
>>  recommendations, articles will be revised or rejected. If approved for
>>  revision, they will go on-line in the appropriate issue in the order
>in
>>  which they were received. When an issue on a particular theme contains
>a
>>  sufficient number of articles (minimum ten, maximum 15), it will be
>archived
>>  and replaced by a new theme.
>>
>>  There is a General Editor for e-Keltoi, but themed issues may be
>organized
>>  and edited by individual editors whose proposals for themed issues
>have been
>>  reviewed by the Advisory Board and the General Editor. For example,
>small
>>  conferences held at other institutions in the United States or
>elsewhere may
>>  consider using e-Keltoi as a venue for publishing their conference
>>  proceedings rapidly while ensuring that they will reach the widest
>possible
>>  audience. Suggestions for individual issues can be submitted to the
>Advisory
>>  Board by a potential issue editor for approval before any papers have
>been
>>  solicited. The issue editor then contacts potential contributors and
>edits
>>  the papers before submitting them for review by the General Editor and
>>  members of the Review Board.
>>
