As a journal, we cater to a wide range of needs and preferences to discover and share in the emerging field of orality. Here, we offer multiple platforms and entry points to engage in regional or global conversation. They correlate with orality reliances ranging from very high to very low.
Very High Orality Reliance ■■■■■
Stories from the field. What we see and experience of orality… articles, interviews, pictures, video, audio, and other artistic expressions.
Examples: Painting, song, poem, organizational program references to follow, reviews of presentations, seminars, and conferences.
High Orality Reliance ■■■■□
These include stories and descriptive reports, reactions or comments about the articles, and personal experiences without needing citations.
Examples: Testimony, commentary, and reviews/reporting of presentations, seminars, regional publications and conferences.
Moderate Orality Reliance ■■■□□
Case studies taken from real-life examples. These submissions support and add value to other
“levels” of articles. Sources need honorable mention but do not have full-citation formatting.
Examples: Artiles, case studies, recordings delving into orality, fruitful principles and methods seen at work in real life, historical narrative, stories, and interviews with respected regional, national, or global voices or practitioners.
Low Orality Reliance ■■□□□
Contributions with a full range of expression from text to arts. These are peer-reviewed, academically valid contributions demonstrating well-sourced writing that references their citations with links to their citations. These articles use proficiency in textual craftsmanship but must use audio, video, or other art forms in the process.
Examples: Thorough examination of the principles and/or methods of orality. It also includes case studies, book reviews, and interviews with global leaders.
Very Low Orality Reliance ■□□□□
Address the cutting-edge topics of mission, theology, and applied research. Scholarly articles submitted for peer-review editing that adhere to the highest academic standards. We encourage contributors to submit a short video introduction and reference some complementary artistic expressions. While using consistent citation stylist formatting, hyperlinks still lead readers to their sources, including text and multi-modal communication.
Examples: Conceptual and applied research, synopses of academic papers, theses, and dissertations, as well as conference papers and presentations.
