Invites submission of academic papers from library and information science practitioners, educators and researchers. This peer-reviewed academic journal in the subject field of Library and Information Science (LIS) is published quarterly under the aegis of the National Science Library, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
The Journal is the first English-language academic journal in LIS ever published in mainland China that has an international readership in mind. This journal is aimed to establish a platform for Library and Information Science students, educators, researchers and library practitioners all over the world to engage in intellectual dialogue so as to upgrade continuously library practice around the world in general and that of China in particular。.
In 2008, we introduced a series of treatises related to the various aspects of current Chinese library development in our first two published issues. We are greatly encouraged by the positive feedbacks that we have received and have decided to solicit with more vigour for scholarly writings in all areas of LIS from a much wider circle of library and information science professionals around the globe. We warmly welcome article contributions related but not necessarily limited to the following topics:
l Bio-bibliography of prominent LIS professionals l Cataloguing l Collection development l Comparative librarianship l Competitive intelligence l Digital library l Knowledge management |
l Knowledge organization system l Library evaluation l Library management l Library Science l Metadata l Open access l Reference service etc. |
The submissions may be “research paper,” “progress report,” or “library practice” in English, and the length of the manuscript is about 10 -12 pages (more than 3000 words).
The Editorial Board is composed of the nationally and internationally well-known scholars in the LIS field. And, a double-blind peer review process is adopted.
