Special Topic Issues
Periodically issues of JASIST are dedicated to "Special Topics." Special Topics are focused on one theme or topic and are the same scholarly research articles with the same standards for quality and review applied. Special Topics are intended to inform readers on several aspects of a single topic of cutting edge or basic interest. The editor and guest editor serve as reviewers of the invited articles. Suggestions for topics and guest editors are welcomed.
