Editor's Note
In 1997, at the Third
International Conference on Grey Literature hosted by the Commission of the
European Communities, the impact of grey literature on the innovation process
was the central theme. Now, almost a decade later we can look to see how grey
literature has been able to sustain innovation and explore its continuing role
in this process. By the term innovation we mean that which transforms ideas into
commercial success or widespread use. We view innovation as an economic and
social term, one that is not exclusively technological.
In this issue of The Grey
Journal, Jeffery and Asserson in their article on grey literature in the
R&D process confront the rapid increase in the acquisition of data, its
structuring into information, and its interpretation as knowledge. Their
premise is that the output of grey publications is orders of magnitude greater
than white publications i.e.
controlled by commercial publishers.
Weber follows with his article on grey literature in public administration and
provides an example of a quality assessment system now in place, which details
quality assurance procedures to assess and steer evaluation studies resulting
in quality information of practical use.
The subsequent articles deal
with case studies in the diverse fields of public health, cyber security,
vocational training and labor. Crowe and Hodge examine in their article the
role of NGOs in public health care in developing countries and see grey
repositories as tools for research communities. Erwin in her article addresses
the Digital Commons defined as a set of tools and services that are available
for public use. She then goes on to examine a number of larger social and
political issues challenging major stakeholders including librarians in
building this digital commons for cyber security resources. Finally, Pitoni and Macrì outline in their
article a grey roadmap of systems and services for vocational training and labor
policies within the framework of the European Social Fund (ESF).
The feature articles in this
issue are select examples of how grey literature has sustained the innovation
process in recent years. For those interested in learning more about the
continuing role of grey literature in this process, I welcome you to the Eighth
International Conference on Grey Literature http://www.textrelease.com/gl8program.html,
where the focus will be on the state of the art in grey literature with
applications and innovative uses in and for society, science and technology.

Tue 16/01/2007 8:34 AM JESSE@listserv.utk.edu
With immediate effect,
submissions to Information Research will be handled through the journal
management system, Open Journal Systems (http://pkp.sfu.ca/?q=ojs).
This will provide the Editors, Reviewers and Authors with direct access to the
process of review and will maintain more effective statistics on the number of submissions,
etc.
Papers currently in the
process of review will not be affected by this change. In the first instance,
please contact the Editor (wilsontd@gmail.com) for instructions.
Also, given the amount of
work I had to do over the Christmas 'holiday' to get the January issue ready, I
have decided to change the production schedule. This year, there will be issues in January, April, and October (the
remaining three issues of volume 12), and, with effect from 2008, the volume
will be conterminous with the calendar year, with the issues of volume 13 being
published in March, June, September and December. This will also have the effect of avoiding a
July issue, thereby enabling a genuine summer vacation :-)

Sun 21/01/2007 8:12 AM JESSE@LISTSERV.UTK.EDU New issue of Information Research
Volume 12 No. 2 of
Information Research is now available at the Website:
Here is the Editorial:
Introduction
Managing an electronic
journal is a non-trivial task and, although I have Associate Editors who help
greatly in the process of evaluating submissions, the main work of getting the
issues out is down to me. With the loss of my volunteer proof-reader, Rae-Ann
Hughes, the checking is an additional load. It is something of a relief,
therefore, to know that Lund University Libraries (our host institution for the
server) is implementing the journal management package, Open Journal Systems.
Together with the Associate Editors, I am in the process of testing the system
and hope, shortly, that all submissions will be handled through OJS.
This said, there is still
room for more volunteers to help with the production of the journal: ideally, a
proof-reader who knows British English and an XHTML code editor would be very
useful. So, if you have a little time on your hands (a vain hope in these days
of overwork!), or if you are recently retired and interested in helping the
open access movement, do contact me.
And, speaking of volunteers,
thanks to Elena Maceviciute for her link checking this issue - a bigger task
than usual, and to Pedro Dias and Jose Vicente Rodriguez for the Spanish
abstracts; again, a much bigger task than previously.
In this issue
The main work of this issue
has been in preparing the final batch of papers from the Information Seeking in
Context Conference, which was held in
We also have five other
peer-reviewed papers and another open access case study.
The five papers cover very
different topics: professional education in Brazil, Internet services in the
countries of the European Union, students' use of the Internet for their
Finnish Masters' theses, the impact of the Terrorist bombings in Madrid on the
11th March, 2004, on newspaper documentation centres (in Spanish) and a
workflow model for scholarly communication. This last one is very long for a
paper and the author has provided a link to a .pdf file so that you may print
it out more easily. The case study deals with Medical Education Online, which
was established (like Information Researh) by an individual, enthused by the
idea of open access publishing.
Partly because of the ISIC
papers, we have a good geographic spread of papers in this issue:
Google Analytics
As I noted in the previous
issue, I now use Google Analytics to monitor the use of the journal and (at the
time of writing) I now have four months of data. The data show that the top
page of the journal has had 35,323 'unique views' and
66,145 'page views' in this
time - which I assume means that each visitor comes back to the top page
('home' on the navigation bar) at least once after the initial click.
Extrapolating that for 2006 as a whole suggests that the top page has had
105,969 unique views and 198,435 page views. I've also been using OneStat.com
since last April and it shows 32,517 page views for the top page in eight
months - extrapolating gives us 48,775 for the year, which is significantly
fewer than suggested by Google Analytics, so I'm not quite sure what's going on
there :-). However, in 2005 we had 47,117 hits, so usage continues to increase.
One thing is certain: the papers in Information Research are getting a lot of
exposure!
The Editorial Board
I am making changes to the
Editorial Board, with a view to stabilizing membership by the beginning of the
next volume. Membership is for a period of three years, renewable, and some members
are now due to retire, so with this issue, we welcome three new members of the
Editorial Board: Jim Jansen, Victor Kaptelinin and Bonnie Nardi. Jim
strengthens our representation of the Web research community, while Bonnie and
Victor, apart from helping review papers for the activity theory issue due in
April, strengthen the information systems area. Welcome folks!
The journal's publication
schedule will also be changing, partly to bring the volume year into line with
the calendar year and partly to avoid holiday periods as far as possible. So,
this year, the final two issues of Volume 12 will be published in April and
October and Volume 13 will have its four issues in March, June, September and
December of 2008, with subsequent volumes having the same publication pattern.
This way, I might actually have some holiday time at Christmas!
Given how far the month is
advanced, it may seem a little late, but... a very Happy New Year!

International Journal of Internet Research
Ethics
New journal
asis-l-bounces@asis.org; on behalf of; Jeremy Hunsinger [jhuns@vt.edu] Thu 15/03/2007 11:08 PM Asis-l@asis.org
[Asis-l] new Journal: International Journal of Internet Research Ethics
International Journal of
Internet Research Ethics
http://www.uwm.edu/Dept/SOIS/cipr/ijire.html
Description and Scope:
The IJIRE is the first
peer-reviewed online journal, dedicated specifically to cross-disciplinary,
cross-cultural research on Internet Research Ethics. All disciplinary perspectives, from those in
the arts and humanities, to the social, behavioral, and biomedical sciences,
are reflected in the journal.
With the emergence of
Internet use as a research locale and tool throughout the 1990s, researchers
from disparate disciplines, ranging from the social sciences to humanities to
the sciences, have found a new fertile ground for research opportunities that differ
greatly from their traditional biomedical counterparts. As such, "populations," locales,
and spaces that had no corresponding physical environment became a focal point,
or site of research activity. Human subjects protections questions then began
to arise, across disciplines and over time: What about privacy? How is informed
consent obtained? What about research on minors? What are "harms" in
an online environment? Is this really human subjects work? More broadly, are
the ethical obligations of researchers conducting research online somehow
different from other forms of research ethics practices?
As Internet Research Ethics
has developed as its own field and discipline, additional questions have
emerged: How do diverse methodological approaches result in distinctive ethical
conflicts – and, possibly, distinctive
ethical resolutions? How do diverse cultural and legal traditions shape what
are perceived as ethical conflicts and permissible resolutions? How do
researchers collaborating across diverse ethical and legal domains recognize
and resolve ethical issues in ways that recognize and incorporate often
markedly different ethical understandings?
Finally, as "the
Internet" continues to transform and diffuse, new research ethics
questions arise – e.g., in the areas of
blogging, social network spaces, etc. Such questions are at the heart of IRE
scholarship, and such general areas as anonymity, privacy, ownership, authorial
ethics, legal issues, research ethics principles (justice, beneficence, respect
for persons), and consent are appropriate areas for consideration.
The IJIRE will publish
articles of both theoretical and practical nature to scholars from all
disciplines who are pursuing—or

analyses, and practitioner-oriented scholarship that promote understanding of

Call For Papers—Now seeking manuscripts for vol. 34 (2007)
Knowledge Organization (KO)
Devoted to Concept Theory,
Classification, Indexing and Knowledge Representation
Official Quarterly Journal
of the International Society for Knowledge Organization (ISKO)
Published by ERGON-Verlag,
Würzburg,
Knowledge Organization is an
international refereed quarterly journal that publishes scholarly papers and
reports related to all aspects of knowledge organization, which we define
broadly as the conceptual ordering of knowledge.
Scope of KO: Our journal is
devoted to questions of the adequate structuring and construction of ordering
systems, and on the problems of their use in providing access to information
contents of literature, data, or other objects of scientific interest.
Contributions: (1) clarify theoretical foundations (general ordering theory,
philosophical foundations of knowledge and its artifacts, theoretical bases of
classification, data analysis and reduction); (2) describe practical operations
associated with indexing and classification, as well as applications of classification
systems and thesauri, manual and machine indexing; (3) trace the history of
knowledge organization; (4) discuss questions of education and training in
classification; and (5) problems of terminology in general and with respect to
special fields.
Aims of KO: Knowledge
Organization is a forum for all those interested in the organization of
knowledge on a universal or a domain-specific scale, using concept-analytical
or concept-synthetical approaches, as well as quantitative and qualitative
methodologies. Knowledge Organization also addresses the intellectual and
automatic compilation and use of classification systems and thesauri in all
fields of knowledge, with special attention being given to the problems of
terminology.
The contents of this journal
are indexed and abstracted in Referativnyi Zhurnal Informatika and in the
following online
databases: Information
Science Abstracts, INSPEC, Library and Information Science Abstracts (LISA),
Library Literature, PASCAL, Social Science Citation Index, Sociological
Abstracts and Web of Science. Tables of Contents and Abstracts of recent issues

Libellarium, Journal for the
history of written word, books and memory institutions Number 1, 1 (2007)
Dear Colleague,
We are pleased to launch the
first call for papers for the newly established journal for the history of
written word, books and memory institutions. The Journal, Libellarium, will be
published by the
For the first issue we are
inviting two kinds of papers, both dealing with the history of books. The first
should contribute to discussions referring to the substance of book history and
its methodological issues (What is the book history today? Could it be an
independent scientific discipline?
What is the state of
research in different countries? Etc.).
The second should address a
wide range of questions regarding the use of sources in book history.
Contributors are encouraged to interpret the topics such as bibliographies as a
source for the book history, printers’
catalogues and
advertisements as a source for the book history, book dedications and forewords
as a source for the book history, missionary reports as a source for the book
history and so forth. We welcome papers taking an interdisciplinary approach
that productively combine history, literary, and sociology with book history
methodologies.
All potential contributors
are kindly requested to send an abstracts with a title (500 words maximum) by 1
February 2007 to e-mail address zvelagic@ffos.hr. The final versions of papers
are expected by 5 April 2007.
All contributions should be
submitted in English and not exceed 8000 words in length (including notes).
Please use Chicago Manual of Style, Author-Date System, available at http://www.libs.uga.edu/ref/chicago.html.
Before publication all
contributions will be reviewed by two independent referees. The English of the
submitted manuscripts should be of a suitable quality for publishing.
Please do not hesitate to
request further information if needed, and address all correspondence to
zvelagic@ffos.hr.
Sincerely yours,
Zoran Velagić,
