About IFLA Journal

IFLA Journal is the international journal of the International Federation
of Library Associations and Institutions. The journal publishes peer
reviewed articles on library and information services and the social,
political and economic issues that impact access to information through
libraries. The Journal welcomes submissions of research articles, case
studies and essays that reflect the broad spectrum of the profession
internationally. All articles are subject to peer review. Articles are
published in English. Abstracts will be translated by IFLA (the
International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions) into the
other official languages of IFLA - Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Russian
or Spanish - for publication.
1. Peer review policy

IFLA Journal adheres to a rigorous double-blind reviewing policy in which
the identity of both the reviewer and author are always concealed from both
parties. The final decision rests with the Editor. All manuscripts are
reviewed as rapidly as possible, and authors should expect to have
reviewer's comments within approximately 6 weeks of submission.
2. Article types

Articles and features are normally published only in English. Authors whose
first language is not English should not be inhibited from submitting
contributors in English because of this; the correction of minor
grammatical and linguistic errors in English is considered to be an
integral part of the editorial process.

Articles should normally be between 3000 and 8000 words in length. Articles
must be original contributions which have not been published elsewhere, and
which are not under consideration elsewhere.

Articles should be accompanied by an English-language abstract of not more
than 150 words, five or six keywords, and a brief statement of the
professional qualifications and experience of the author(s), including
current official designation and full address and contact details.

Authors are expected to check their work carefully before submitting it,
particularly with regard to factual accuracy, completeness and consistency.
They should provide sufficient background information to enable readers
unfamiliar with the activity or country being described to understand it
easily. Acronyms and abbreviations should be spelled out in full the first
time they are used.
