The academically refereed journal Informing Science endeavors to provide an understanding of the complexities in informing clientele. Fields from information systems, library science, journalism in all its forms to education all contribute to this science. These fields, which developed independently and have been researched in separate disciplines, are evolving to form a new transdiscipline, Informing Science. 

Informing Science publishes articles that provide insight into how best to inform clients using information technology.   Authors may use epistemologies from engineering, computer science, education, psychology, business, anthropology, and such. The ideal paper will serve to inform fellow researchers, perhaps from other fields, of contributions to this problem.   "What's Informing Science?"   To speed the publication process, manuscripts are submitted and reviewed electronically. This process enables reviewers around the world to provide the author with quality feedback in a timely manner.

Accepted papers are published quarterly in print and immediately on the web. The latter provides colleagues around the world immediate access to articles. Works published in Informing Science can be cited and used more quickly.

Accepted articles are available free of charge on the web site http://InformingScience.com . Issues are also available in print. I encourage you to visit this web site and contribute your quality manuscripts to the journal.
