Evidence Based Library and Information Practice is seeking papers for future issues. Manuscripts may be submitted as either articles, commentaries or brief reports.
Papers in the Articles section of the journal are original research or scholarship and are subject to double-blind peer review. Commentaries are viewpoint papers on issues relating to evidence based practice. We are also interested in brief anecdotal reports outlining experiences of evidence based decision making in specific environments. Commentaries and anecdotal reports are not subject to peer review but do undergo editorial review prior to acceptance.
Submissions are welcome from all information disciplines on all areas of EBP including, but not limited to:
EBL application
Qualitative or quantitative research
Management and Administration issues related to EBP
Research Tools (statistics, data collection methods, etc.)
Collaborative and Interprofessional EBP
