All articles will, wherever possible, use the technologies of the World Wide Web to present and represent discourse work and data in novel and innovative ways.

DAOL publishes high quality fully refereed articles. These articles will have gone through the processes of peer review and, where appropriate, such revision as is recommended by the editors. This review process will in two stages: closed, private peer review; open, public peer review.

DAOL will be indexed and abstracted in the same manner as print journals.

DAOL articles and discussion groups will be permanently archived and available to researchers in electronic form.

Articles submitted to DAOL will be reviewed by members of its Editorial Board and other appointed international discourse scholars selected by the editors, who act in an advisory capacity to the editors. Whole articles are reviewed, not abstracts or summaries.

The Editorial Management Group, Editorial Advisory Group and Review Panel of DAOL are aware of the social, cultural and economic inequalities and other biases of using World Wide Web Technologies. All DAOL staff and group members express their commitment to encouraging the widest possible involvement with and use of the journal.

Articles for review will be subject to the Open Peer Review Process.
