Although this is an Australian journal that publishes research relevant to the Australian LIS community, it also explicitly invites contributions from around the world. For the North American LIS researcher and author, this journal provides an opportunity to showcase original research to a global community.<\/p>\n The publication\u00a0is abstracted or indexed in\u00a0Australian education index, Australian library and information science abstracts, APAIS: Australian public affairs information service, Information science abstracts, Library and information science abstracts, and Library literature.16<\/sup><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Publication circulation<\/strong>:\u00a0Circulation statistics are not readily available for this journal. However, as the premier research journal\u00a0for the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA), with 4,200 individual memberships and 800 institutional memberships,17<\/sup>\u00a0the potential for reaching many readers is great.<\/p>\n Audience location and language or cultural considerations<\/strong>:\u00a0The majority of readers are Australian and the content reflects this. Authors should be aware of the language and cultural differences between the U.S. and Australia. \u00a0Colloquialisms and cultural references unique to the United States should be avoided.<\/p>\n Reader characteristics<\/strong>:\u00a0AARL<\/em>\u00a0does not provide demographic information on its readers. As it is the premier research journal of the Australian Library and Information Association, it is likely\u00a0that the majority of readers are members of the\u00a0ALIA, which is \u201copen to professionals, non-professionals and individuals and organizations alike.\u201d18<\/sup><\/p>\n Reader knowledge of LIS subject matter<\/strong>:\u00a0Although some readers may not be information science professionals, the majority work in library and information\u00a0fields and would therefore be very knowledgeable about LIS subjects.<\/p>\n Australian Academic & Research Libraries<\/em>\u00a0is an internationally recognized publication that holds high standards for its published works. This journal reaches a wide audience of library and information professionals who are interested in current research in the field as well as relevant issues in their workplaces. For current Australian residents, or even North Americans who have lived or travelled in Australia, this journal provides its authors with a large and knowledgeable audience. Although the majority of readers are most likely Australian, and the journal \u201caims to showcase theoretical and practice-based research undertaken in, about, and relevant to, Australia,\u201d19<\/sup>\u00a0the editors specifically invite \u201cauthors worldwide, working across the full range of information professions, as well as those in the higher education sector and research libraries\u201d20<\/sup>\u00a0to contribute to the journal. The large audience of readers that this journal offers would provide an excellent forum for LIS authors worldwide.<\/p>\n Last updated<\/strong>:\u00a0November 6, 2016<\/p>\n Publication analysis About the publication Title:\u00a0Australian Academic and Research Libraries (AARL) ISSN: 0004-8623 (Print) and 1839-471X (Online)1 Purpose, objective, or mission:\u00a0Australian Academic and Research Libraries\u00a0is the research journal of the Australian Library and Information Association.
