Hypermedia Joyce Studies
(formerly known as Hypertituitary Joysis)
seeks articles of
relevance to any aspect of Joycean studies. As a refereed journal with a
distinguished board of advisory editors, HJS maintains high
standards of scholarship. Articles should contribute to the
scholarly discourse surrounding Joyce's work and should
demonstrate familiarity with the issues of Joycean criticism
and literary criticism at large. HJS welcomes articles
from all schools of critical theory.
Although the length of a hypertext piece is a variable
rather than a fixed quantity, we advise contributors to
write articles of up to 8000 words in length. Slightly
longer pieces will be considered if they make extensive use
of multiple nodes (see the section titled "Hypertext"
below). HJS also seeks book reviews of 1000 words in
length.
Hypertext adaptations of articles previously published in
another journal will be considered for publication in HJS.
Contributors submitting previously published pieces,
however, must arrange to secure written permission to re-
print from the previous publisher, in order to avoid
copyright complications.
The multimedia capabilities of the World Wide Web -- the
electronic medium through which HJS will be published --
permit authors to include drawings, photographs, audio
recordings, and motion pictures within their articles.
While frivolous or overly ostentatious use of these
resources can detract from the scholarly content of an
article, we encourage the judicious use of multimedia items
when they effectively augment the text. If contributors
choose to include such elements, they must obtain written
permission for HJS to publish any materials which might be
copyrighted.
The primary language of HJS will be English, although we
will consider articles written in another language when
attended by an English translation. To standardise
orthography, HJS will use International English spellings
in all cases in which International and Amererican English
spellings differ.
Articles should use MLA conventions except where otherwise
specified. When citing a source, provide parenthetical
documentation within the text itself and include full
bibliographic information in an appended list of works
cited.
References to Joyce's works are to be cited according to the
format perscribed by James Joyce Quarterly. Please see
the inside back cover of any recent copy of JJQ for
specific details. (Although not specified in JJQ's
guidelines, citations of Finnegans Wake should include
both page and line number.)
Footnotes should contribute to the content of the article,
rather than merely providing bibliographic information.
Because of the hypertextual format of the journal, it may be
useful to think of such textual digressions as "nodes"
rather than footnotes. (The concept of "nodes" will be
explained later in this style sheet, in the section
"Hypertext.")
If you intend to submit the article as a plain-text ASCII
file (see "File Formats" below), we suggest that you save
footnotes or other nodes as separate documents. This
procedure will possibly prevent confusion and mayhem since
some word processors lose, misplace, or otherwise mangle
footnotes when converting a document to a text-only (ASCII)
file.
E-mail submissions to joyce_inc@une.edu.au. Or post a
3.5" diskette (preferably DOS format, but Mac will be
accepted as well) to the following address:
Submissions should be in the form of one of the file formats
described below (see "File Formats").
Ideally, contributors should provide their own graphics
and/or audio files, if they make use of such items in their
articles. Since many contributors may have neither the
necessary equipment nor the necessary expertise at their
disposal, however, we can scan images and record sound-files
from cassette tape or CD. (We do not at present have the
resources to record MPEG -- motion picture files -- from
videotape, although we can of course publish MPEG files if
they are provided by the contributor.) If you need us to
scan/record your graphics/audio, send the photographs,
drawings, or sound recordings to the above address.
Hard copy may be sent to the above address as well, or faxed
to (215) 204-9620. We must receive soft copy in order to
consider a piece for publication, but sending hard copy may
prove useful in order to describe desired formatting using
handwritten marginal notes.
If you have questions about how to transmit a submission,
you may contact the journal's technical coordinator, R.L.
Callahan, at
callahan@astro.ocis.temple.edu.
Include in
the subject header of your message the text,
_HJS_ submission info
Callahan often handles heavy e-mail
traffic, so please await response patiently. Contributors should submit the text of articles in one of
the three following formats: Graphics files should conform to the .GIF format, sound
files to the .au format (we may be able to convert .wav
files, but we can give no guarantee at this point), and
motion picture files to the .MPEG format. Any such file
would need to be Uuencoded or BinHexed before being sent by
e-mail. Alternatively, these files could be sent by
conventional post on magnetic media (3.5" DOS or Mac
formatted).CONTENT

U.S.A.FILE FORMATS
When e-mailing the text of an article by means of ASCII
(plain-text) files, send each node (see the explanation of
nodes in the section "Hypertext" below) as a separate
message. Because saving a word-processor's file in ASCII
format strips it of typesetting codes, use the following
marks to indicate how text should be formatted:TYPESETTING
