Academic Contribution
Erothanatos is a peer-reviewed quarterly journal dedicated to literature, offering a platform for scholarly articles, critical essays, book reviews, and poetry. Established with the aim of fostering high-quality research and innovation in literary studies, the journal encourages contributions that explore diverse literary, philosophical, historical, and sociological perspectives.
One of the journal's notable initiatives is its focus on translating Indian poetry and short stories from regional languages into English. This endeavor seeks to bridge linguistic gaps and introduce the rich literary traditions of India's regional authors to a broader audience. Accompanying these translations are research articles that provide critical insights into the translated works, enhancing their academic value.
Erothanatos also features a serialized section titled "Irreversible," inviting articles that delve into irreversible conditions in literary works and theories, often resulting from conflicts or other causes. This section encourages deep analytical discourse on themes of permanence and change within literature.
To ensure the integrity and quality of its publications, Erothanatos adheres to a double-blind peer review process, maintaining transparency and upholding ethical standards in scholarly publishing.
In summary, Erothanatos significantly contributes to the academic community by promoting diverse literary research, facilitating cross-cultural literary exchanges through translations, and upholding rigorous peer-review standards to enrich the field of literary studies.
Feasibility
The website is user-friendly, with a straightforward navigation menu that allows visitors to easily explore various sections. However, the site mentions undergoing a significant transformation in its Data Management System to incorporate CrossRef DOIs, which may temporarily affect the viewing and downloading of published works. Overall, the Erothanatos website effectively serves its purpose as an academic journal platform, providing essential resources and information to its readership.
Distribution and Marketing
Erothanatos preserves all issues and volumes containing scholarly articles. Special Poetry Issues published earlier will soon be available on the website: https://erothanatos.com/
