Beyond that, we believe that the library is meant to set an example for academia. Free and open access to information and innovation is crucial to the future of our institutions and profession. By providing an outlet that mixes both traditional and disruptive forms of scholarly and professional communication, we can change the way our profession shares and leads.\u201d1<\/sup><\/p>\n Target audience:<\/strong>\u00a0The\u00a0Journal of New Librarianship<\/em>\u00a0aims to reach all library and information science (LIS) professionals, practitioners, scholars, teachers, and graduate students, as well as those who are interested in the LIS field.<\/p>\n Publisher:<\/strong>\u00a0The journal is \u201cindependently produced.\u201d It uses the Scholastic academic journal management system.2<\/sup><\/p>\n Peer reviewed?<\/strong>\u00a0Yes, blind review. The journal publishes peer-reviewed articles and other content that is not peer-reviewed.3<\/sup><\/p>\n Type:<\/strong>\u00a0LIS scholarly journal.<\/p>\n Medium:<\/strong>\u00a0Online, open access.<\/p>\n Content:<\/strong>\u00a0The\u00a0Journal of New Librarianship<\/em>\u00a0is a new journal, first published in 2016. The journal publishes peer-reviewed articles, essays, editorials, book reviews, and columns4<\/sup>\u00a0on all topics in the field of LIS and seeks both \u201ctraditional and disruptive\u201d forms of communication.5<\/sup>\u00a0 The Columns section publishes \u201cshort pieces on topics of timely interest to information professionals covering innovations and issues for the next generation of librarians.\u201d6<\/sup><\/p>\n Frequency of publication:<\/strong>\u00a0Articles are published on a rolling basis on the website; these are collected into two issues each year.7<\/sup><\/p>\n Location of submission guidelines:<\/strong> Submissions<\/a><\/p>\n Types of contributions accepted:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cSubmissions may include, but are not limited to: Solicited articles; Scholarly Articles; Essays; Experience and opinion pieces; Media (i.e., podcasts, video, etc) relevant to innovative practices in librarianship; Book reviews; Technology reviews; Letters to the Editor on topics relevant to the field; Data sets; Manifestos; Extended scholarship (Greater than 15,000 words); and Interviews.\u201d8<\/sup>\u00a0\u201cWe want lengthy treatises on intersectionality and library practice just as much as we want data analysis and recorded interviews with people doing awesome teen programming or video projects on the transformation of a library\u2019s physical space and the perceived impact. All aspects of librarianship \u2013 by any name \u2013 are within the intended scope of the journal.\u201d9<\/sup><\/p>\n Submission and review process:<\/strong>\u00a0Authors are asked to submit their articles stripped of identifying information so they are ready for peer review. They ask for a cover letter that explains \u201cthe origin of the project, whether it has been presented and if so where, and affirmation of its originality, veracity, and the author\u2019s right to include all submitted material, data, and media.\u201d Further, the cover letter should explain if the article has time constraints, for example, if it should be published immediately or during a particular conference. Finally, during the online submission process, authors are asked to list potential peer reviewers who are appropriate or those who should be avoided, and these suggestions should be explained in the cover letter. The editors ask authors to contact them with \u201cpreliminary pitches,\u201d and they \u201cencourage ideas for content in any and all forms.\u201d10<\/sup><\/p>\n Editorial tone:<\/strong>\u00a0The editors encourage \u201csubmissions that we have no idea how to categorize,\u201d so the tone should be appropriate to the piece: scholarly, conversational, casual, experimental, and so on.11<\/sup><\/p>\n Style guide used:<\/strong>\u00a0Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association<\/em>\u00a0(6th edition).12<\/sup><\/p>\n The\u00a0Journal of New Librarianship<\/em>\u00a0is an interesting, high-quality, experimental journal that aims to set an example in academia for free and open access to information, scholarship, and ideas.13<\/sup>\u00a0This is a great publication for LIS authors who want to publish traditional academic scholarship or who have novel explorations in theory or practice, timely observations, or experimental pieces, including multimedia, to contribute. LIS graduate students are encouraged to submit work and to volunteer as a part of the journal\u2019s editorial team.14<\/sup>\u00a0This is an exciting new journal that is breaking new ground in the discipline\u2019s publishing practices.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Publication circulation:<\/strong>\u00a0Data are not available.<\/p>\n Audience location and language or cultural considerations:<\/strong>\u00a0This is an open-access journal that is produced in the United States.

The editors, and presumably the readers, \u201cshare a steadfast commitment to recognizing and discussing intersectionality \u2013how social categories like race, class, and gender create overlapping and situational systems of discrimination and privilege.\u201d17<\/sup>\u00a0Readers of this journal look for innovative models and practices in libraries and in LIS scholarship.<\/p>\n Last updated:<\/strong>\u00a0April 16, 2018<\/p>\n Publication analysis About the publication Title:\u00a0Journal of New Librarianship ISSN:\u00a02471-3880 Website:\u00a0Journal of New Librarianship | Current Issue Purpose, objective, or mission:\u00a0The\u00a0Journal of New Librarianship\u00a0editors acknowledge\u00a0the \u201cneed to offer quality literature in our field in an open, independently produced journal.
