How to Submit a Webtext to Kairos 

Kairos publishes "webtexts," which are projects specifically designed for publication on the World Wide Web. Though every project we publish is not hypertextual in nature, we require authors to do something different than would be possible and/or appropriate for most print journals.

Each section of Kairos accepts submissions, so authors should decide which seems most appropriate for their work:

• Features: Extended scholarly analyses of large-scale issues relating to rhetoric, technology, and pedagogy. Submissions are accepted continuously, and authors are encouraged to contact the editorial staff early in their project's development. Please email co-editors Douglas Eyman and James A. Inman.

• CoverWeb: Theme-based, multivocal examinations of contemporary issues in rhetoric, technology, and pedagogy. Submissions are accepted by issue and by theme. Please contact CoverWeb Co-Editors Cheryl Ball and Beth Hewett to learn more.

• Reviews: Individual or collaborative reviews of books, media, and other texts of interest to scholars of rhetoric, technology, and pedagogy. Reviews are solicited. Please contact Reviews Co-Editors Rich Rice and Gail Corso to learn more.

• Praxis: Classroom spotlights, responses to previous Kairos publications, scholarly debates, and more. Submissions are accepted continuously, and special opportunities for participation are sometimes available. Please contact Praxis Co-Editors Colleen Reilly and Joyce Walker for more information.

• News: Calls for papers, announcements about new initiatives and products, reflections on electronic list and other scholarly discussions, and more. Contact News Co-Editors Charlie Lowe and Clancy Ratliff to learn more.

• Interviews: Extended interviews with scholars doing interesting work relating to rhetoric, technology, and pedagogy. Please contact Interviews Co-Editors Krista Homicz and Sonja Bagby to suggest individuals to be interviewed or to propose an interview of your own.

Copyright and Intellectual Property

No matter the journal section, authors submitting works to Kairos are responsible for securing any permissions or licensing pertaining to the use of copyrighted images or multimedia.

Authors of accepted webtexts assign to Kairos the right to publish and distribute their text electronically, including publication on the Web and on CD-ROM, and to archive and make it permanently retrievable electronically. Authors retain their copyright, however, so after their project has appeared in Kairos, they may republish their text in any manner they wish --electronic or print -- as long as they clearly acknowledge Kairos as its original site of publication. Contributions that have already been published or are being considered for publication elsewhere are not eligible to be considered for publication in Kairos, unless a cross-publishing arrangement has previously been negotiated.
