Journal of Catalan Studies Revista internacional de catalanística ISSN: 1139-0271
Since 1998 the Journal of Catalan Studies has been the only academic journal dedicated entirely to the promotion of Catalan Language and Culture via a totally electronic mode of publication. In most other respects, however, it has functioned as a traditional scholarly journal and research articles submitted are subjected to peer review. This year's number reflects the journal's commitment to all areas of Catalan Studies with articles on philosophy, the promotion the wine industry, the performing arts and contemporary prose fiction. Any academic contribution to this broad area of knowledge is particularly welcome.
The Editors are committed to the widest dissemination for material published by the journal and, as well as publishing on-line, they will continue to explore possibilities for the occasional publication of the contents of the journal with traditional presses. The pdf format employed means that articles published look like their conventionally printed counterparts and can be referenced like them, with download and printing also facilitated. Contributors are eagerly invited to submit their work with a view to publication.
Articles submitted to the journal will continue to be welcome in any language although the preferred media of the review are Catalan and English.
Subscribers are advised of the retirement of Max Wheeler who, with this year's number, stands down from his position as editor. All those connected with the journal thank Max for his invaluable help and contribution throughout the decade of his tenure and wish him all the very best for his retirement.
