Greetings,
I'm writing to you, in my capacity as Chair of the ASIST 80th Anniversary Advisory Group. This group is advising Wiley (the JASIST publisher) on their project to identify key and high impact papers in JASIST.  For their part Wiley conducted a bibliometric study of highly cited papers, ranked by decade. As part of this initiative the 80thAG is soliciting nominations of JASIST papers that have been central to your own work, or to that of your SIG. Wiley realizes that articles can be quite useful without attracting citations, so we are reaching out to SIG members!

In early September, all ASIST members will have a chance to vote on the most significant JASIST paper for each decade. The papers span the years 1956-2017. The outcome of this initiative will be a Wiley-hosted website that features access to select papers. ASIST members will be able to add comments and images. This website will launch during the upcoming annual meeting in Washington, DC.

Please send your paper nominations (in the form of a citation) by August 15th to klabarre [at] illinois.edu
