Journal of Writing Research

The Journal of Writing Research (JoWR) is an international peer reviewed journal that publishes theoretical, empirical, and review papers covering the broad spectrum of writing research.
The mandate of the journal is:

WritingPro

The main aim of this website is to:

Sig Writing Publications (prepublications & archive)
Editors: Eva Lindgren (Umea University, Sweden), Daphne Van Weijen (University of Utrecht, The Netherlands) & Mariëlle Leijten (University of Antwerp, Belgium)
Start date: December 2004.

Sig Writing Publications (prepublications and archives) is an initiative of several EARLI SiG-Writing members. It offers researchers the possibility to publish papers, chapters and other research material on-line, freely accessible to other writing researchers. Our goal is twofold. On the one hand we would like to be a significant online resource for the most recent research on writing and on the other hand we would like to provide an archive of relevant research that has been conducted by writing researchers.

Writing and Digital Media
Editors: Luuk van Waes, Mariëlle Leijten & Chris Neuwirth, University of Antwerp - Belgium / Carnegy Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA - USA
Publication: March 2005.

In "Writing and Digital Media" we would like to bring together excellent European and American research in the field of writing and computers. The aim of the book is to report on a variety of topics and research methods related to this theme and to create a solid basis that inspires researchers for further research in the field. The book will be published in March 2005.

Tekst[blad]
On a regular basis I write short book & article reviews for a Dutch journal Tekst[blad] (Journal of Text and Communication).
