Aldus 2.0 (https://aldus20.org), Bembus’ international platinum open access journal, wel-
comes proposals for the first issue of the year 2022. Aldus 2.0 aims to explore digital tex-
tuality by stimulating a debate around the main themes of Digital Humanities in philo-
logical, literary and linguistic fields. The diffusion of new technologies and their application in

different areas of Italian studies has offered new perspectives of study, analysis and research and
has opened technical, theoretical and methodological questions which are a great challenge for
philologists, linguists, publishers and a number of other professionals. In this respect, the journal
aims at being a shared space open to comparison with other disciplines, such as communication
sciences, which welcomes contributions from experts in different domains. This interdisciplinary
approach fosters methods and perspectives that can shed light on several aspects that could
otherwise be ignored or only partially discussed. For these reasons, the journal intends to adopt

an innovative approach within the current editorial scenario and deal with topics concerning glo-
bal networks and digital texts.

Proposals in compliance with the editorial rules of the journal must be uploaded on the onli-
ne platform by March, 31, 2022, following the instructions outlined on Aldus 2.0 official

website (https://aldus20.org/proposal). We accept proposals in Italian or English of a length
between 15,000 and 60,000 characters including spaces (including notes and bibliography) for
the ‘Essays’ section and a length of no more than 15,000 characters including spaces for the
‘Projects’ and ‘Reviews’ sections. For projects presented for the same section, you can also fill in
an optional short form whose data will be included in a database of digital resources managed by
Bembus.

For the ‘Essays’ section, preliminary assessment of abstracts is carried out by the board. Ab-
stracts can only be sent via the official platform by January, 31, 2022. Acceptance of abstracts

does not necessarily involve publication, which will be subjected to double-blind peer review. Fol-
lowing abstract acceptance, submission of articles must be completed by March, 31, 2021.

The selection of papers to be published will be carried out by a scientific committee compo-
sed of national and international experts and will comply with double-blind peer review stan-
dards. Publication of articles is scheduled for September 2022.
