JASIST

This editorial note provides guidance to authors on how they can help their manuscript thrive in peer review at JASIST. Every year since 2019, JASIST has received a record number of submissions (as have most premier scholarly publishing venues[i]). This means the Journal’s editorial office is seeing many more manuscripts.

In this first editorial of 2024, I am focusing attention on JASIST’s appreciation for and efforts to support carefully developed special issues. The Journal has a long history of publishing special issues. We have continued this during my term as Editor-in-Chief. To this point, included below is a listing of both active and recently published special issues. A special thank-you to the many colleagues whose work has helped make these special issues such a significant contribution to scholarship and to this Journal!

Two topics in this editorial update. First, I introduce and explain the Journal’s newly formed Advisory Board (AB). Second, I highlight some advice for developing a manuscript that will have a higher likelihood of thriving in peer review.

In this editorial update, we celebrate our expert reviewers, some by name.  We also highlight the role of peer review in JASIST’s editorial review process.

Greetings! This is my first editorial note since beginning as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Information Science and Technology  (JASIST) in January 2021.
