SIG Writing’s Prepublication archive

In 2005, SIG Writing started a free and open access publication server containing book chapters, theses, technical reports, research instruments, SIG Writing conference papers, and other prepublications.

We invite all writing researchers to add their papers, reports and instruments to this server. PhD supervisors are kindly asked to stimulate PhD and MA students to upload their theses.

Action editors are Eva Lindgren (Sweden), Marielle Leijten (Belgium) and Daphne van Weijen (The Netherlands). They will check each uploaded entry for completeness and general acceptability and then immediately publish the entry. Visit the server at www.sigwritingpublications.org. After having registered as a user, you can download all contents and choose the frequency of notifications about newly published entries.
