ANNOUNCING WEBSITE AND ELSEVIER EDITORIAL SYSTEM FOR THE NEW 
JOURNAL OF INFORMETRICS

Leo Egghe

October 19, 2006




The new "Journal of Informetrics" (JOI) is now fully active, with a website:
www.elsevier.com/locate/joi which is linked to its own dedicated online
paper submission system (Elsevier Editorial System [EES]):
ees.elsevier.com/joi.

You are hereby invited to register as an author and to submit an article via
the EES. All papers accepted for publication in JOI will benefit from
widespread visibility through Science Direct, which is available to millions
of researchers at over 3,000 institutions around the world.

I am delighted to report that next year's issues of JOI are filling fast but
that we have the possibility to further grow number of pages per issue.

JOI encompasses 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 the types of
high-quality papers that can be accommodated. Such papers can be described
as articles containing mathematical-probabilistic-statistical models and/or
containing a good description of universally interesting data-sets. For more
on JOI, please visit the  website www.elsevier.com/locate/joi or contact me
directly (email: leo.egghe at uhasselt.be).


CALL FOR REVIEWERS


Via this medium I would also like to make a "Call for Reviewers" for JOI. If
you are interested to become a referee for JOI, please inform me and we will
put your name in the EES of JOI. Do not forget to indicate also your
field(s) of interest. This way we intend to continuously update our
reviewers database in the EES of JOI.
