[apsa_itp] ToC JITP 4(4)

["Shulman, Stuart William" <shulman@xxxxxxxx>]

We have finalized the Table of Contents for JITP 4(4) and it is pasted below. A longer review of the state of the journal will follow next week. In the short term, let me touch on a few important points:

 

-          Starting with issue 4(3), JITP will be published by Taylor & Francis. We anticipate very strong relations between T&F and the ITP section of APSA and a publication schedule that gets the journal back in sync with the calendar.

-          There has been steady but slow growth in the institutional subscriptions. Many of these subscriptions are to European institutions. We have much work to do to get the subscriber base built up. Now that 4(1) is circulating, you can work with your librarians to get your university to adopt JITP. The paper subscription comes with university-wide electronic access. The inaugural issue is free online at www.jitp.net and it can take 2-4 faculty collaborating at one university to convince a librarian to subscribe. Please take the time to do this. There are great issues coming down the pipe in volume 5 on Web 2.0, natural language processing, and tools for E-Gov.

-          Bulk mailing postage means your copies of JITP 4(1) should be arriving this week, perhaps later outside the US. Let me take this opportunity to invite you again to write reviews about the role that JITP can play going forward. You can send these reviews directly to me.

-          While the 60-day review policy has slipped in some cases, we still turn papers around in about 60 days and usually no more than 75. Our reviewer database continues to grow and diversify at over 400 now. JITP is a good place to submit a paper.

-          The 4(4) ToC is below; a very nice issue.

-          We do not seem to be getting papers on using IT to teach politics. If folks have ideas about how to recruit authors of papers for our teaching innovation, I’d like to hear them.
