De Amerikaanse Association for Documentary Editing kondigt het verschijnen aan van het online-tijdschrift Scholarly Editing, de voortzetting van het gedrukte periodiek Documentary Editing.

De aankondiging van Scholarly Editing door de redacteuren Amanda Gailey en Andrew Jewell luidt als volgt: ‘We are delighted to announce the debut of Scholarly Editing: The Annual of the Association for Documentary Editing, now online at scholarlyediting.org. Published for over 30 years as a print publication titled Documentary Editing, Scholarly Editing continues to publish articles about the theory and practice of editing and reviews of new editions. In addition to this material, Scholarly Editing offers new, innovative content: the journal is among the first—if not *the* first—to publish peer-reviewed editions of primary source materials of cultural significance. We are pleased not only to present editors with a rigorously peer-reviewed publication platform, but also to share fascinating documents from cultural history with the reading public. All of this material is available freely online and is completely open-access.’
