Digital Publishing in the Humanities

Catalog description

Students work as editors and peer reviewers for Apollon, a digital journal publishing double-blind, peer-reviewed undergraduate humanities research. In addition to learning about research in the humanities by evaluating submitted essays, students acquire multiple applied skills. They write and post calls for papers; manage submissions; compose rejection, acceptance, and resubmission letters; compose reader’s reports; maintain professional correspondence with contributors; market and publicize the journal; and edit accepted submissions. Students learn to use Google analytics; curate existing digital content, including podcast and video; evaluate digital humanities submissions; develop an ebook for each issue; create content and maintain an archival system. Enrollment by permission only.
