Call for papers
An equitable and democratic society relies on an engaged citizenry.
Libraries provide a foundation of critical and evaluative skills that
encourage an individual to recognize their own information gaps and to seek
out reliable information sources for evaluation and synthesis, recognizing
the complexities of information formats and delivery methods. Scholarly
communication is a broad domain that covers how information and knowledge
is created and shared, what levels of access to that information are
available, and how economic factors influence information communication.
Engaged, critically thinking individuals require an understanding of how
knowledge is produced and shared, who has the power to make that
information available, and how they - as information consumers and
producers - are involved in those processes. However, barriers to the open
communication of information, and the possibly limited scope of voices
engaged with those processes, have the potential to impact the pillars of
democracy: equity, a free press, fair elections, engaged citizens, and the
equal application of laws.
This special issue of *JLSC *will explore the ways in which an open system
of scholarly communication is essential for a democratic society, and the
current systems and practices in place that may undermine this goal.
Contributors are encouraged to take a holistic approach, considering the
roles that race, gender, wealth, power, and/or economic systems impact how
we create, share, and access knowledge and information – actions that are
necessary to an informed citizenry.
We invite submissions to the following *JLSC *sections: research articles,
practice articles, theory articles, literature review articles, and
commentaries. Submissions should address the role that information and
knowledge creation, sharing, and access plays in a democratic society, and
what limitations or challenges may impede that role; including but not
limited to:
- Globalization and publishing
- Information access/sharing as a social justice issue
- Global North/Global South dynamics in information sharing
- Subject Headings/Metadata schema as agents of oppression
- Labor in the scholarly communication landscape
- Open scholarship
- Intellectual property
- Data ethics
*The deadline for submissions is January 5th, 2018.* Manuscripts should
follow the appropriate section guidelines
