Call
for Contributions
Teknokultura,
on-line journal of the University of Puerto Rico’s Social
Sciences Faculty (Río Piedras Campus), announces its
opening for contributions to evaluate articles and electronic
art relevant to the integration of technology to daily lives
and labor. Book and website reviews, literary work, and cartoons
asociated to these themes will also be evaluated.
Teknokultura
provides a forum of expression on subjects related to technology
and culture from a critical and transdisciplinary perspective.
Through its vast array of sections, the journal engages in
subjects related to lifestyles and cultural spaces that have
emerged from the integration of technology to our social lives
in contemporary society.
This call
for contributions will be open from April 2004 until April
2005. During this time, we will receive contributions that
will be published in Vol 4 of the journal which will be available
on-line on August 2004-2005. Contributions received after
April 2005 will be considered for the next volume (Vol 5,
2005-2006).
Contributions in the form of articles should follow these
guidelines: approximately 15 to 20 pages in length with double
spaced paragraphs, and 12 pts. font submitted in a PC platform
(preferably in Microsoft Word, RTF or Open Office), and use
APA publication style. We encourage the integration
of audiovisual material as part of the articles. The submitted
articles should have not been published elsewhere in an electronic
format and the author/s are responsible for obtaining the
appropriate permits to use images, videos or music included
in their contribution and that are protected by copyrights.
Authors will retain the copyrights of their contributions
published in Teknokultura.
Teknokultura
keeps
the right to design the incorporation of the contribution
according the texts and other works published in our journal.
Teknokultura is a peer review journal and will not return
to its author any accepted or rejected contribution. Teknokultura
reserves the right to publish accepted works in our journal
as well as in any other means – printing, CD or any
other digital mean- for promotional purposes. Once the contribution
is accepted for publishing, Teknokultura
has the right to decide the specific assemblage and design
in which the work is going to be incorporated in our journal.
The proponent or author of the work will not receive any revenue
for his or her work but Teknokultura
will acknowledge his or her rights as an author in the electronic
journal, CD Rom or any other media.
Contributions
could be submitted in Spanish, English and Portuguese.
