CALL FOR PAPERS FOR THE NEW JOURNAL OF INFORMETRICS On April 5, 2006, Elsevier (Oxford, UK) accepted my proposal for the foundation of a new journal in the field of informetrics. The evident name Journal of Informetrics (JOI) is the first internationally published journal that bears "informetrics" in its name.
JOI is a journal with a broad spectrum of informetric topics: all quantitative aspects of information are included within the journal's scope. Of course, as for any peer-reviewed journal, there are the limitations to high-quality papers. Such papers can be described as articles containing mathematical-probabilistic-statistical models and/or containing a good description of universally interesting data-sets. The scope can be illustrated by the papers published in the journal Information Processing and Management in two special issues on informetrics in 2005 (V41/No6) and 2006 (V42/No6), see <http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/03064573> for which I was the guest-editor. These issues also show the form in which papers for JOI should be submitted. JOI will be a quarterly journal, each issue comprising about 100 pages. The first volume will be published in 2007. However it is the intention to have the printed and electronic version of the first issue ready by December 2006. Your are hereby invited to submit a paper for JOI for Volume 1, issues 2 and further. Submissions must be done using Elsevier's ees (electronic editorial system). Author guidelines will be available shortly. In the meantime you can submit a paper to me directly (e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] or tel. +32 11 26.81.21).
