Dear colleagues:

We are co-editing a book of articles on the subject of scholarly criticism
- i.e., criticism by peers (members of the discipline) - of scientific and
academic texts. Our proposal has been accepted by Peter Lang. The book is
nearly complete, but we would like a few more disciplines represented if
possible, such as the hard sciences. The disciplines presently covered are:
biology, medicine, chemistry, economics, linguistics, literary research,
educational technology and business administration.

Among the questions we wish to address are:

1. Is scholarly criticism becoming more or less extensive and subjective
with time?

2. Have the types of arguments or evidence changed with time?

3. Have linguistic realizations of criticism changed with time?

4. What are the historical, political, economic and social contexts of
scholarly criticism?

5. Is the expression of scholarly criticism influenced by
  a. choice of language, e.g., Spanish vs. English?
  b. genre, e.g., book reviews or letters to the editor?
  c. discipline, e.g., sociology or literature?

6. Other questions are welcome.

If you are involved in such research, you are invited to send us a working
title and abstract of no more than 500 words before 1 March (The full
article is due Oct. 30, 2009).

Sincerely,

Francoise Salager-Meyer - francoise.sm at gmail.com
