The new Mormon Studies e-journal, Archipelago, is now making a call
for papers. Go to:

http://www.archipelago-journal.org

for further information and contact details. Notice the cool, electronic
interface. If you’re interested in contributing to Archipelago, you’ll
have to register. Thanks to J. Stapley for his technical nous.

We hope to be a bloggernacle-friendly journal and actively solicit your
support. Please spread the word.

Our rough intentions:

1. To offer quality, peer-reviewed, faithful scholarship on a wide-range of
Mormon issues.
2. To provide a forum for discussing journal articles.
3. To be friendly to junior scholars, and those just beginning to publish in
Mormon Studies.

#1 is a given. #2-3 are, we hope, what will particularly set Archipelago
apart, plus, of course, our bloggernacle relationships.

We hope to solicit four types of work: research papers, book reviews, brief
notes, and research reviews (a sketch of current scholarship on a given issue).
We welcome your contributions. First publication is tentatively set for the end
of this year/beginning of next.
