<i>The Journal of Writing Analytics </i>(<i>Analytics</i>), a peer-reviewed, open access journal.
<span style="color:black">Conceptualized as a multidisciplinary field, Writing Analytics is defined as the multidisciplinary study of communication processes and genres as they occur in digital (primarily educational) environments.
</span><i>Analytics</i> seeks manuscripts reporting research at the intersection of educational measurement, big data analysis, digital learning ecologies, and moral philosophy. In keeping with the theme, “Expanding the Body of Knowledge,” of the recent 2020
Writing Analytics conference in St. Petersburg, Florida, we are especially interested in manuscripts that address the following:
