| Description
| Combining elements of graphic design, database programming, and scholarly editing, The Electronic Book Review (ebr) participates in the media developments it critiques. The journal has been in continuous publication since 1994 - as numbered 'issues' up to the year 2001. At that time, the database (and its capacity to remix content from the archive and from other sites) allowed editors to update the site continuously. Content is not presented under one fixed category, but can be gathered under various threads depending on how each essay is tagged. A journal of critical writing published by writers for writers, ebr offers a peer to peer alternative to academic review.

| Additional Notes
|
| Policy: Each essay is read by a topic (thread) editor (a tenured professor) and at least one other ebr editor. On acceptance, the essay is posted to our staging site, where it is made available for comment by our 500-plus past contributors, all of whom are published authors in print and online. Unlike academic peer reports, which are generally seen only by committees, ebr reviewer comments can be read in the margins of the essays, as 'glosses.' More substantial response is given in commissioned Ripostes.
