*Issue 2.1: 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 foster new ways to share and
critique written and artistic work, as more people try to squeeze through
the narrowing bottleneck of publishing and approval and jobs, something has
to give, or at least change.



FOUR GUIDING QUESTIONS

* 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?

* How have artistic contests in the fields of poetry, short story,
painting, sculpture, or design changed in terms of evaluation, prizes, and
prestige?

* What can the humanities learn from other disciplines in terms of
evaluation and peer review?

* How can we solve some of the current problems?
