journals and collections of essays

Fields of Knowledge, publisher of the Infography
(http://www.infography.com), is seeking accomplished scholars in all areas
of the humanities to submit citations to recommended research sources about
their subject specialties. In return, scholars receive royalties and other
benefits, if their submissions are accepted for publication.

Scholars must cite exactly "six superlative sources" of information, from
any type of media, and may optionally cite any number of "other excellent
sources." College professors can easily submit citations from course syllabi
or citations chosen from the bibliographies of books or articles they have
written.

Now in its 26th year, the formerly annual journal Explorations in
Renaissance Culture announces that, beginning with the summer of 2000, it
will be a biannual publication. Each year's issues will appear in Summer
and Winter.

We therefore heartily encourage the submission of articles on subjects in
any discipline in Renaissance/Early Modern studies: literature, art and
iconography, music, history, gender studies, languages, culture, etc.

egotistics, an online journal for graduate students, is now accepting
submissions for its inaugural volume. we plan the first volume to appear in
the fall of 2000.

published by the English Graduate Organization at The University of
Alabama, egotistics aims to help graduate students publish their work in an
academic environment where 'publish or perish' may be too strong an
expression but is not without truth, or, for that matter, merit. all
articles, notes, and reviews on literary and critical topics are welcomed.

egotistics follows the same editorial guidelines as other academic
journals--submission is blind, and submitted articles, notes, and reviews
are peer-reviewed.

Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to inform you that on 4 April 2000, a new internet-based, peer
reviewed journal will be launched,
