General Submission Requirements<\/a> | Section Submission Requirements<\/a><\/h3>\n

The online format of this journal presents an opportunity for us to learn about the various media in which our constituencies (potential contributors) are working. As we evolve the journal, we find ourselves sitting in front of a screen, imagining what various media contributions might look like, how diverse the contribution formats might be, and how ‘readers’ invested in the project of Imagining America might interact with them.<\/p>\n

Thinking about the experience and flow of the overall journal experience, we ask contributors to compose, curate, design, and\/or craft submissions whose multimedia components constitute no more than a 20-30 minute duration of experience<\/em>.<\/strong> This may take the form, for example, of a timed photo-essay, video or audio composition, or interactive work that can be fully experienced in this timeframe. For contributions that are primarily or exclusively textual, word count replaces duration as the measure of a submission’s length.\u00a0 (See requirements below).<\/p>\n

Prepare and submit all electronic media in final presentation format so that the editors and reviewers can clearly experience the contribution in the form you intend. For example, should audio play while one is reading a text; should images appear in sequence, or adjacent to each other? To best enable us to understand the user experience that you envision, we also ask that you describe this experience in an introduction that accompanies your submission.<\/p>\n

Please note that, because Public<\/em> operates as both a journal and multimedia archive, you may include supplementary reference material in excerpted or complete form.\u00a0 If the presentation of this work online does not infringe on any copyright or intellectual property rights, it may be included in the Public<\/em> archive at the discretion of the editor.<\/p>\n

With the exception of textual submissions, limits on forms, formats, durations, and modes of interaction are a challenge to impose, as new technologies and techniques are unveiled almost daily. We thus do not wish to exclude anything, but upon the peer review and editorial review process, we may need to work with contributors to alter or refine a contribution to be publishable in the journal.<\/p>\n
