Geographic location:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0JASIST<\/em>\u00a0is published in English but has an international reach.16<\/sup><\/p>\n

Language or cultural considerations:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cAuthors for whom English is a second language should consider having their manuscript professionally edited before submission.\u201d17<\/sup><\/p>\n

Knowledge of LIS subject matter:\u00a0<\/strong>Readers are most likely graduate and post-graduate LIS professionals with an interest in research and a thorough background in LIS terminology.
