The perceptions of abstracts

[James Hartley]

Dear Colleagues

I am curently carrying out some research on the perceptions of abstracts.  A
short (less than 10 min) task can be found at:

www.keele.ac.uk/depts/ps/jimh/abstracts.htm

I would be most grateful if you could find the time to do this for me  (and
to pass on the address to any other interested parties).

Many thanks

journal

> 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
> <http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/03064573>) and 2006
(currently

> JOI will be a quarterly journal, each issue comprising about 100 pages.
The

have

ready

> Your are hereby invited to submit a paper for JOI. If you want your paper

of
