Journal of Writing Research (JoWR)
http://www.jowr.org/

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

* to publish excellent and innovative writing research drawn from a range of academic disciplines (e.g. psychology, linguistics, pedagogy, design studies, communication studies, information and communication technology, learning and teaching)
* to stimulate interdisciplinary writing research
* to be fully international
* to apply high academic standards, including double blind peer review
* to share knowledge through open access.

They encourage the submission of manuscripts in one of the following forms

* reports of empirical studies
* review papers and meta-analyses
* theoretical position papers

The journal also welcomes explorations of difficult or controversial topics, and is interested in publishing non-paradigmatic and non-traditional ideas that meet the criteria for excellent scientific research. Empirical studies may use all appropriate methods, including experimental, survey and case study designs and both quantitative and qualitative methods of analysis. The Journal of Writing Research will also consider proposals for special issues on a specific theme.
