Special Theme: Evaluation, Critique, Prizes, and Peer
Review What are the best and newest methods for creating,
evaluating, and disseminating scholarly and creative work? This question
motivates the next issue of NANO. As digital formats help to foster new
ways to share and critique written and artistic work, as more people
try to squeeze through the narrowing bottleneck of publishing, approval,
and jobs, something has to give, or at least change.
Four guiding questions:
1. How have changes to the university, to scholarly
publishing, and to digital publishing formats changed peer review? Will
changes to peer review change the nature and methods of scholarship?
2. How have creative contests in the fields of poetry,
short story, painting, sculpture, or design changed in terms of
evaluation, prizes, and prestige?
3. What can the humanities learn from other disciplines
in terms of evaluation and peer review?
4. How can we solve some of the current problems?
Possible Topics:
print/book/online culture, peer review, online peer
review, poetry contests, short story contests, art and design contests,
evaluation, judging, Pulitzer Prize, Nobel Prize, merit, approval,
