Journal overview

Information networks and networking technologies integrate and transform information provision, communication, and learning in settings such as libraries, higher education, archives, museums, and communities/community information centers. New Review of Information Networking is an international, peer-reviewed journal publishing high-quality, original research on technology-focused or social studies of information networks and networking technologies in the fields and settings associated with information science, library science, archival science, records management, and data analytics. Manuscripts reporting on research in big data, informatics, information technology, and security are also desired if they address issues associated with information organizations (e.g. settings connected to libraries, higher education, archives, museums, and community information centers.)

Information networks and networking technologies integrate and transform information provision, communication, and learning in settings such as libraries, higher education, archives, museums, and communities/community information centers. The New Review of Information Networking, published biannually, provides an expert source on:

• the needs, behaviour, development of people connected to systems and networks of information.

• community, environmental, and crisis informatics.

• the role of networks, big data, and data analytics in teaching, learning, research, and scholarly communication.

• the implications of data analytics for the information professions.

• the role of information networks and networking technologies in teaching, librarianship, archival practice, records management, digital curation, learning, research and scholarly communication.

• development of campus networking and institutional research initiatives and other information strategies.

• role of information publishers on information networks (e.g. social media, internet, etc.)

• development of policies for funding and charging for network and information services.

• standards and protocols for new digital record formats and network applications.

• equity-focused data analytics and studies of information networks.

• data security and privacy in networks connected to information organizations.

• data analytic-driven discoveries in fields beyond (but with the potential to impact) the information professions.

• artificial intelligence and autonomous systems in libraries, higher education, archives, museums, and communities/community information centers.

As well as conventional research studies – which remain very important – we will publish review articles and case studies on the “state of the art” in important areas. We will publish “think” pieces, policy papers, pedagogical reports, and opinion pieces, which both generate debate and provoke fresh thinking on the future and on how we may best address it.

A huge number of reports have been published in recent years on the changing nature of users; on the changing nature of information; on the relevance of current organizational structures to generations apparently weaned on social networks. We seek to publish those papers which synthesise our understanding as well as those which address the fundamental underlying principles of the increasingly complex information landscapes which organizations inhabit.

Peer Review Policy: All review papers in New Review of Information Networking will undergo editorial screening and peer review.
