Annual Review of Information Science and Technology (ARIST)

Blaise Cronin, Rudy Professor of Information Science, is the Editor
Debora Shaw, SLIS Dean, is the Associate Editor

ARIST's publisher, the American Society for Information Science and Technology, describes the Annual Review:

"The Annual Review of Information Science and Technology (ARIST) has long been considered a landmark publication within the information science community. It surveys the landscape of information science and technology, providing the reader with an analytical, authoritative and accessible overview of recent trends and significant developments. One volume is published each year. The range of topics varies considerably, reflecting the dynamism of the discipline and the diversity of theoretical and applied perspectives connoted by the rubric 'information science and technology'. While ARIST continues to cover key topics associated with 'classical' information science (e.g., bibliometrics, information retrieval), the Review is expanding its footprint, prudently and selectively, in an effort to connect information science more tightly with cognate academic and professional communities."

The Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication is one of the oldest web-based Internet studies journals in existence, having been published quarterly since June 1995. Its focus is social science research on computer-mediated communication via the Internet, the World Wide Web, and wireless technologies. Within that general purview, the journal is broadly interdisciplinary, publishing work by scholars in communication, media studies, information science, business, education, sociology, political science, and other disciplines. JCMC is an official journal of the International Communication Association. It publishes peer-reviewed full-length research articles as well as research briefs.
