Broadly interpreted, literature is defined as all cultural artefacts that make use of literary devices, such as narrativity, metaphoricity, and symbolism. Its manifestations include novels, short stories, poetry, theatre, film, television, and, morerecently, digital forms such as hypertext storytelling. This new journal, Scientific Study of Literature (SSOL), will publish empirical studies that apply scientific stringency to cast light on the structure and function of literary phenomena. The journal welcomes contributions from many disciplinary perspectives (psychological, developmental, cross-cultural, cognitive, neuroscience, computational, and educational) to deepen our understanding of literature, literary processes, and literary applications. Scientific Study of Literature (SSOL) is the official journal of IGEL (the International Society for the Emprical Study of Literature). IGEL membership includes a subscription to SSOL.
