Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology

Aims & Scope

The Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology (JASIST) is a leading international forum for peer-reviewed research in information science.

For more than half a century, JASIST has provided intellectual leadership by publishing original research that focuses on the production, discovery, recording, storage, representation, retrieval, presentation, manipulation, dissemination, use, and evaluation of information and on the tools and techniques associated with these processes.

The Journal welcomes rigorous work of an empirical, experimental, ethnographic, conceptual, historical, socio-technical, policy-analytic, or critical-theoretical nature.

JASIST also commissions in-depth review articles (“Advances in Information Science”) and reviews of print and other media.
