It’s been a while since my last Lexicon of Scholarly Editing update, but as I said in my previous post, that’s because I’m saving up the information for when I have a little more to say, and post more current updates as they are happening via my Twitter account. Since then, I’ve added two more…
First of all: a Happy (Belated) New Year, everyone!
