| Information Matters, Call for Submissions Please consider submitting an article to Information Matters, online at https://informationmatters.org. IM invites you to write a short 500- to 1000-word "Translation" of a recently published paper or article of yours, which we would post and promote for free so that the paper reaches IM's wide Information Science audience and general readership. As you may know, Information Matters, published by ASIS&T, is an online publication for information science, whose mission is to bring relevant and current research evidence and industry developments, news, and opinion to a global public audience, free of charge.
Why write this short piece for IM? - We add cool graphics and visual elements to enhance the appeal of your work, and then work hard to push it to the world through several social media and other channels.
- The process is fast-we get the article out within days.
- It's a great way to get your scholarship out to the wide audience around the world. You can see who's reading IM: its global audience, industry and academic distribution, and social media influence.
- It doesn't replace your published articles elsewhere; it enhances them. You can get additional scholarly recognition since IM distributes through SSRN, a research networking and promotion site which assembles, disseminates, and promotes scholarly content contributions from researchers around the world.
- Your article in IM gets its own DOI. It will also get indexed in Google Scholar and other places, bringing you more citations and readership.
- It's fully open access: free to you and all the readers.
For the Translation, all we would need from you is to summarize and explain your article in 500 to 1000 words for a non-expert audience so that anyone without a degree in information science could read and appreciate it. The goal would be to convey the gist of what may be a highly technical subject to a lay reader, to draw attention to it, and to create public interest in it. Alternatively, you are welcome to write an article on any other Information Science topic which you believe IM's readers would appreciate.
Readers and authors can sign up for Information Matters weekly newsletters and can find IM on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube. The site's recent exciting content initiatives include: a new Spanish and Chinese language section, and InfoFire, IM's podcast series of fireside chats with prominent scholars, educators, and visionaries in the fields of information and computer science and technology. Our multimedia section brings curated educational videos (what we call INFideos) on a regular basis.
We hope you would like to contribute. Please visit Information Matters online at http://informationmatters.orgto read examples of the Translations, and other kinds of articles, published at IM. Author guidelines and advice on writing your article are here. You can submit your work here (you will need a free WordPress account). Once you submit, we will edit the submission and add appropriate graphic elements. It can then be published (and cited, linked, shared) almost immediately.
Please do not hesitate to contact us at editor@informationmatters.org if you have any questions. Thank you for your consideration and we look forward to working with you. Dr. Chirag Shah, Editor-in-Chief
