Articles are refereed to meet the growing need for accredited and authoritative information. To ensure that this does not result in an unacceptable loss of currency, articles are speedily refereed by the journal's large, eminent and multi-disciplinary Editorial Board (assembled just for such a purpose). In exceptional cases they may be referred to an external panel of consultants. The journal's monthly publishing pattern helps in maintaining the currency of reporting. In consequence the submission of research in progress articles is encouraged.
Prospective authors should submit articles of 2,000-6,000 words in length. Articles should be accompanied by a 100-150 word informative abstract and the numerical form of referencing should be adopted. In style and tone, submissions should fall between that of the journal's sister publications: Managing Information and Journal of Documentation.
Articles should be furnished by email or on disc to:
