-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Special Issue Guest Editorship: Library Hi Tech Date: Fri, 24 Jan 2020 02:03:59 +0000 From: KAI WING KEVIN HO kevinkho@triton.uog.edu To: aisworld@lists.aisnet.org aisworld@lists.aisnet.org
Library Hi Tech (LHT) is an international, double-blind peer-reviewed, SSCI-listed journal (2018 Impact Factor: 1.256) that welcomes empirical, conceptual and methodological contributions on any topics relevant to the broad disciplines of information and communication technologies. However, LHT is particularly concerned with information management, technologies, and systems that support libraries and cultural memory, education and the academy, health and medicine, government/public sectors, and non-government organizations (NGOs). Current coverage of LHT can be found on the following webpage (https://www.emeraldgrouppublishing.com/products/journals/news_story.htm?id=8...).
Submissions LHT invites full research and conceptual papers, as well as scholarly viewpoints and review articles (normally between 4,000 to 8,000 words). LHT will also occasionally publish shorter research notes (under 4,000 words) on current work of excellent potential. Authors must make a request for reviewing of research notes, if required, in the cover letter. Interested authors please visit our author guidelines page for further information (https://www.emeraldgrouppublishing.com/products/journals/author_guidelines.h...).
Special issue guest editorship Prospective guest editors should submit a written proposal to the co-editors via email that incorporates the following elements:
* A title for the special issue; * Rationales for the special issue topic that positions its significance in the literature; * Some illustrative topics that papers could focus upon; * A draft of the actual call for papers; * A plan for how authors will be recruited (which can include authors who have already been approached informally); * The credentials of the guest editors; and * A proposed timeline towards publication.
Guest editors will be responsible for publicising the call for papers and for generating submissions for the special issue. It is expected that a special issue will include an introductory essay written by the editor and normally at least six contributed papers. The introductory paper will be subject to an independent LHT editorial review by the co-editors.
The guest editors will also be responsible for all stages of the review process in terms of identifying and inviting reviewers and making preliminary decisions on submissions. The review process will be managed online through the ScholarOne Manuscripts system.
To prevent any perception of conflicts of interest, it is LHT’s policy that Guest Editors cannot submit more than one paper to their special issue as authors or co-authors, which will be handled by the Co-editors.
All inquiries should be directed to the attention of one of the two co-editors:
