CALL FOR EDITORS:
The Journal
of New Librarianship (JoNL) seeks
to expand its
Editorial Board. In keeping with the journal's commitment to diversity, equity, and plurality of viewpoints, JoNL invites
prospective editorial board members from a diverse range of backgrounds and lived experiences, with varied subject and functional expertise. In this role, editors perform a variety of functions, including, but not limited to evaluating journal submissions
and providing author feedback, intentionally selecting and supporting a diverse range of peer reviewers, and coordinating other aspects of the peer review process in collaboration with the Managing Editors and the Communications Editor. Editors attend monthly
board meetings via Zoom to discuss administration and promotion of the journal. Editors can have anywhere from 1-3 submissions to coordinate in their queue at any given time, approximately 3-8 during the calendar year; submission assignments may not always
match the editor's area of expertise. Schedules and workloads are flexible. These are unpaid, volunteer positions.
JoNL was
established in 2016 as a peer-reviewed, independent, free, open access Library and Information Science journal that provides an outlet for emerging and interdisciplinary scholarship that does not fit within the narrowly defined subject specialization of existing
journals. JoNL is a Diamond open access publication in which authors retain full copyright of their work through CC-BY licensing. There are no processing fees, nor is there a cost to access published materials. Since its launch, JoNL has
published 8 volumes (13 issues total), and is recognized in Ulrich’s Periodical Directory as a peer-reviewed academic journal and indexed by the Directory
of Open Access Journal. More information about the journal, including a summary of the editorial and peer review
process, can be located on the about page: https://newlibs.org/index.php/jonl/about
