Dear Colleagues,
The Editors request submissions from you and your associates to the
inaugural year of Information Technologies and International Development
forthcoming in Fall 2003 from the MIT Press and edited at MIT and the
University of Maryland, College Park. ITID aims to be the premier
scholarly journal focusing on the subject, broadly conceived, of
information and communication technologies within the developing world.
In order to make the deadlines for the Fall 2003 issue we will require
submissions on or before January 31, 2003. This date is fast approaching
and we particularly request your assistance in developing and
encouraging quality submissions according to this timeline.
Contributions will be accepted in the following categories:
* Research Articles - Full-length manuscripts reporting original
research.
* Research Notes - Shorter communications detailing original research
results.
* Forum - Notes, letters, and reports which respond to previously
published articles; summarize conferences, workshops, and other
relevant meetings; review new books of interest to the field;
overview emerging research areas and new ideas; and generally
engage the readership.
For the special inaugural year, we are seeking both general research
articles as well as Review Articles that identify major practical
and/or conceptual issue, and analyze them in detail while offering a
state of the field overview. We intend for these reviews to serve as the
most detailed and wide ranging analytic treatments available for their
topics. We have discussed the idea of Review Articles with the MIT Press
and we are looking towards ultimately publishing a set of these papers
in a stand-alone edited volume.
We are pleased that our initial website is up and operational. Please
visit: <http://mitpress.mit.edu/itid>. In addition to the call for
papers you will find complete submission guidelines, an email list, and
news as it becomes available. As the journal moves forward we hope this
to be a vibrant online space.
Thanks and kind regards,
Ernest J. Wilson, III
