The International Journal for Digital Information Research and Use
Purpose and Scope
Online Information Review is a bi-monthly international refereed journal concentrating on digital information sources, systems and services. The journal’s primary focus is broadly on the application of theory to practical aspects of online and digital information creation, storage, retrieval and use in academic, corporate, and scientific contexts. Papers on all aspects of information retrieval, including software developments and human-computer interaction issues, are welcomed, as are contributions on new technologies, including processors, storage media and devices, networks, and software of use in the field of interactive information and data. OIR publishes research-oriented contributions, theory-based analyses and practice-based discussions of new developments and applications, as well as regular review and research-in-progress sections, a professional reading section and a ‘savvy searching’ column.
The Editor is supported by an international Editorial Board, and prospective authors are invited to contact either the Editor or Editorial Board members to discuss possible submissions. Papers ready for submission should be sent electronically to the Editor for review.
