1.2.1 Journal Prospectus Examples:

Several university presses have developed outlines for structuring a new journal prospectus (open access and otherwise). For example:

• Athabasca University Press
  http://www.aupress.ca/index.php/publish/journals

• University of Calgary Press
  www.uofcpress.com/files/press/Journal_Initial_Prospectus.doc

Sample journal prospectuses:

• Aether: the journal of media geography
  http://130.166.124.2/~aether/pdf/volume_01/editorial.pdf

• Postmedieval: a journal of medieval cultural studies
