Deadlines for refereed research articles in Scholar One: 30 July 2017

The Academic Book of the Future research project is funded by the AHRC 
in collaboration with the British Library. The project explores 
questions around the purpose of an academic book, and how technology can 
help make academic books more accessible, as well as those around modes 
of production and reception. How will the book evolve, in print or 
electronic format, in Arts & Humanities disciplines?

While the project has confronted narratives that focus on the end of 
book through its research activities it is apparent that the term ‘book’ 
will remain valid even if the term becomes more fluid and open to 
interpretation.

This special issue of Convergence seeks to bring together innovative 
theoretical and methodological frameworks which explore the academic 
book of the future in Arts and Humanities disciplines. We invite 
contributions that engage with the academic book from across academia, 
bookselling, publishing, libraries and the wider publishing supply 
chain, addressing themes including (but not restricted to): production 
and publication; authorship; peer-review; reception; circulation; the 
Academy; preservation; access.
