Engineering:Annual Review of Information Science and Technology

From HandWiki
Short description: American information technology journal


The Annual Review of Information Science and Technology was relaunched by the Association for Information Science and Technology's Board of Directors in 2021, following a 10-year publishing hiatus. Previously, this annual review journal was published from 1966 to 2011. It was established in 1965 by the American Documentation Institute and the National Science Foundation, at the request of Helen Brownson.[1] It published review articles rather than empirical research articles. Its last (2010) impact factor was 2.000.[2] It was for 45 years "the main forum for scholarly review articles in information science."[3]
