From: Jim Milles (MILLESJG@SLUVCA.SLU.EDU)
Date: 03/02/93


                        CALL FOR ARTICLES
          ARACHNET ELECTRONIC JOURNAL OF VIRTUAL CULTURE

              SPECIAL ISSUE: VIRTUAL CULTURE AND LAW

       Issue Editor: James Milles (millesjg@sluvca.slu.edu)

The Arachnet Electronic Journal of Virtual Culture (EJVC)
announces a call for papers for a special issue on Virtual
Culture and Law, to be published in June 1993.

Virtual culture is computer-mediated human experience, behavior,
thought, meaning, action, or interaction, such as electronic
mail, conferences, and journals; information distribution and
retrieval; the construction and visualization of images,
representations, or models of reality or worlds; and global
connectivity. The Arachnet Electronic Journal on Virtual Culture
is a refereed journal whose purpose is to foster, encourage,
advance, and communicate scholarly thought, (including analysis,
evaluation, and research) in multiple disciplines about virtual
culture.

Papers for the special issue may address any aspect of the
intersection of virtual culture and law, from the practical (such
as copyright and liability issues) to the theoretical (the law
and virtual communities; computer-mediated communication and the
future of law.)

EJVC seeks authors who do not have established publication
records, as well as established authors with reputations as
scholars and experts. All manuscripts will be given at least
three blind reviews by a jury of referees. EJVC uses multiple
styles, flexible among articles but consistent within any given
article. Any recognized standard of style shall be acceptable;
however, for the Special Issue, either _The Bluebook: A Uniform
System of Citation_ (15th ed.), or APA style, modified for ASCII,
shall be the preferred style, allowing for creative styling if
essential to the integrity of the article.

Each contribution shall conform to the following minimal form:

    Articles shall start with an abstract/description
      (< 200 lines)
    Number paragraphs and pages
    Provide internal/in-text citation
    Provide electronic references where appropriate
    Superscripts in text/endnotes ^2^
    Use blank line separators between paragraphs, which
      shall have no indentations
    Provide only substantive endnotes

All submissions must be by electronic mail to James Milles, Saint
Louis University, Special Issue Editor (millesjg@sluvca.slu.edu).
The deadline for the June 1993 special issue is May 1, 1993.
