About the journal
Aim
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.
Publishing History
The Annual Review of Information Science and Technology is produced for the American Society for Information Science & Technology (ASIST) and published by Information Today, Inc. The Society (then the American Documentation Institute) initiated the series in 1966 with the publication of Volume 1 under the editorship of Carlos A. Cuadra, who continued as Editor through Volume 10. Martha E. Williams took over the editorship with Volume 11 and passed the baton to Blaise Cronin with Volume 36. ASIST is the sole owner of ARIST, maintains editorial control, and has sole rights to the series in all forms. Through the years, several organizations have been responsible for publishing and marketing ARIST. Volumes 1 and 2 were published by Interscience Publishers, a division of John Wiley & Sons. Volume 3 through 6 were published by Encyclopaedia Britannica, Inc. Volumes 7 through 11 were published by the American Society for Information Science itself. Volumes 12 through 21 were published by Knowledge Industry Publications, Inc. Volumes 22 through 25 were published by Elsevier Science Publishers B.V., Amsterdam, The Netherlands. With Volume 26, Information Today, Inc. (formerly Learned Information, Inc.) assumed the role of publisher of ARIST for ASIST.
Policy
ARIST is an annual publication that reviews a wide range of topics and trends within the broad fields of information science and technology. The contents vary from year to year: no single topic is treated on an annual basis. The subjects selected and their coverage reflect the evolution and maturation of the domain. ARIST chapters are scholarly reviews of topics substantiated by reference to the published literature. The aim is to furnish the reader with a complete picture of the state-of-the-art for each focal area. The orientation of, and time period covered by, each chapter will vary, depending on the author's expertise and on whether the topic has been treated previously by ARIST and, if so, on the length of the interval from the last treatment to the current one.
Instructions to Authors
General Approach
A good ARIST chapter is one that goes beyond an introductory and descriptive treatment of a topic. In order to provide proper context, the author may include introductory material that explains basic concepts associated with the topic, but the explanatory content should not dominate the chapter. The main purpose of an ARIST review is to identify significant research threads and issues that warrant critical attention. This effort should go beyond mere descriptive aggregation of work. The text should be strongly analytical and identify key research challenges. It should be written in a form that a general reader within the information science and technology community can understand. A good review chapter should also attempt to synthesize past work, draw comparisons across various approaches and concepts, describe their strengths and limitations, and point to promising new avenues of research within the domain of information science and cognate fields. Such an approach does not require that the author elide his or her voice, or resort to lifeless prose.
Submitting your ARIST Manuscript
The following instructions will expedite ARIST's publication. If the guidelines are not followed, delays are inevitable, and in some cases your manuscript or artwork may be returned as unacceptable.

Headings
Type headings in upper/lower case, not all caps. Use same font and type size for headings as for body text, but use bold for headings. A single line should separate headings from the section of text preceding them. To indicate the level of each heading, use the following convention:
Chapter heading (i.e., chapter title) center
A headings flush left
B headings one tab-indent
C headings two tab-indent
D headings three tab-indent
References
-
The accuracy and completeness of references in the bibliography are the responsibility of the author. Only items in the chapter should be included in the list of references.
-
The format for citations in the chapter and for bibliographic references follows the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th ed., 2001). Guidelines for electronic reference formats recommended by the APA are available at: http://www.apastyle.org/elecref.html
-
Provide a complete, alphabetically arranged bibliography. The bibliography should begin with the heading "References" on a new page, following the chapter text.
Copy Formatting
-
Use bold and italics where necessary, but no other copy formatting.
-
Do not underline text (including URLs).
-
Use only one set of tabs and margins for the entire ms.
-
Mark the beginning of a new paragraph with a one tab-indent.
-
Do not add an extra line space or spaces between paragraphs except where separation between sections of text is required for contextual purposes.

Use a hard return only at the end of a paragraph (never use hard returns at end of each line of text).
-
Do not save your document as ASCII text.
-
Double space your ms. and use 1-inch margins.
-
Use tab key for indenting text not the space bar.
-
Use only one space after periods.
-
Indicate placement of art (figures, tables, etc.) in bold caps within brackets, with a hard return above and below the reference. For example:
[SHAWFIG01 Here]
-
Due to the limitations of the printed page, artwork may not appear precisely as indicated; some art may be several pages removed from your placement reference. For this reason, we recommend that you consistently refer to figure/table numbers when discussing art in the ms. text, and use explanatory captions for all art.
Length
-
Use the word count feature to ensure that the chapter text is within the 8,000-10,000 word limit.
-
Include 75 to 100 items in your bibliography.
