Introduction

Publication strategy

Giorgio Buccellati – December 2025

    The methodological aims that are briefly spelled out in the Preface are corroborated by a special understanding of what it means to use a website as a scholarly venue for publication. We aim for a website to be a “digital book,” in the specific sense that it is “written” with the expectation that it be “read”.

    In line with this, we aim for a website to have a bibliographical status that matches current publication standards and ensures durability to the finished product.

    To this end, we provide for each website a set of data that are given in the front matter page as is the case for this website, and in abbreviated form for the list of published websites in the UGR Series.
