ECAI, in collaboration with the California Digital Library eScholarship
project, is endeavoring to define scholarly publication for the
digital age. We believe that much academic work in the humanities,
social sciences and history can best be presented to colleagues,
students and the public by utilizing web-based technologies and
spatial visualization through GIS.
To this end, we are developing standards and processes for creating
digital scholarly prefaces and bibliographies, and conducting peer
reviews of the technical architecture and the scholarly content
of selected ECAI-affiliated projects. We pledge that the published
projects are stable and perpetually available to anyone who wishes
to use them, just as a book in a library is.
A number
of guides have been created to identify the differences between
a project and a publication, outline the publication process, identify
the requirements for creating a publication and detail the publication
submission guidelines. Please use the links below to view these
documents.
