1	An Irresistible Invitation: Enhancing Academic Publication in Rhetoric and Composition by Inviting Online Peer Commentary Cutler, Sarah L. 03 June 2009 (has links) (PDF) In many ways the current publishing system in rhetoric and composition, which centers on the peer-reviewed journal, undermines core values we hold for ideal scholarly communication. These values include collaboration, dialogue, participation, and public engagement. Though the current system's methods of preserving, distributing, and maintaining quality control of scholarly work contradict our values, technological developments have made possible alternative publishing models that could better uphold our values. Developing a preprint archive where scholars develop and share ideas before submitting them for publication in traditional peer-reviewed journals would bring our publishing process closer to our ideals. rhetoric peer review journal publication online forum preprint archive composition publishing Dewey repository collaboration public engagement democracy quality control blog English Language and Literature
