Specific submission guidelines are currently being reviewed for publication.

Browsing through some of the titles, the journal does publish the traditional scholarly studies and articles, and also publishes articles which appear to be in the essay format. The journal also specifically points out that previously published work could be modified in such a way to provide \u201ca clearer focus on information architecture or for the purpose of demonstrating relevance to information architecture.\u201d14<\/sup> This aspect could be appealing to already published authors who could re-work publications with an increased focus on information architecture. The journal\u2019s website also provides a list of suggested topics which could be helpful in determining whether you have an interest in publication and\/or whether an existing work fits within the journal\u2019s focused areas.15<\/sup><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Publication circulation:<\/strong>\u00a0Circulation data is not provided, but the publication is freely\u00a0available online.16<\/sup><\/p>\n Audience location and language or cultural considerations:<\/strong>\u00a0Published in English in Denmark, but the scope is international.17<\/sup><\/p>\n Reader characteristics:<\/strong> The journal does not provide information about individual characteristics of the readers. However, according to the website, the journal\u2019s focus is to create \u201ca forum for new research and sharing of good ideas and case studies that are useful to the field\u2019s researchers, practitioners, students, and other interested parties.\u201d18<\/sup>\u00a0The audience consists of professionals, students, and educators interested in shared information environments,19<\/sup>\u00a0such as social networks, websites, intranets, mobile, and Rich Internet Applications.20<\/sup><\/p>\n Knowledge of LIS subject matter:<\/strong> While the journal does not specifically focus on the LIS field, information architecture is prevalent within LIS. Authors should be cognizant of the likelihood that the journal\u2019s readers may not have specific knowledge of LIS jargon. However, the audience will likely have some background in this area so technical language specific to this field need not be wholly abandoned.21<\/sup><\/p>\n The\u00a0Journal of Information Architecture<\/em>\u00a0is appealing to potential LIS authors due to the diversity of its audience. With the first issue having appeared in 2009, the journal may not have the name recognition of some other longer-established journals. However, the information architecture field continues to grow, and the journal provides a unique forum for this area within the LIS discipline.<\/p>\n Last updated:<\/strong>\u00a0May 15, 2017<\/p>\n Publication analysis About the publication Title:\u00a0Journal of Information Architecture ISSN: 1903-72601 Website:\u00a0Journal of Information Architecture Home Purpose, objective, or mission:\u00a0The\u00a0Journal of Information Architecture states that \u201cits aim is to facilitate the systematic development of the scientific body of knowledge in the field of information architecture.\u201d2 Target audience:\u00a0The journal primarily targets researchers, practitioners, students, and educators […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":772,"featured_media":0,"parent":2954,"menu_order":8,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2141","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/infosci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2141","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/infosci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/infosci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/infosci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/772"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/infosci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2141"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/infosci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2141\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3399,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/infosci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2141\/revisions\/3399"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/infosci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2954"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/infosci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2141"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}About the publication\u2019s submission guidelines<\/h3>\n
