Records Management Journal: Call for Reviewers
The Records Management Journal is currently recruiting new reviewers to carry out double-anonymous review for the Journal.
About the Journal
Records Management Journal (RMJ) provides research and contemporary practice on the people, process and systems/technology aspects of managing records and information in organizations.
Coverage of the journal spans records/information creation and capture, organization and access, preservation and disposal, systems design, information governance and risk.
This is the only international journal devoted to records management which is not exclusive to a professional society or association. Contributions from different, interdisciplinary perspectives are encouraged in the form of research papers, case studies and viewpoints.
RMJ is firmly committed to ensuring it provides high-quality and timely reviews to authors. Review reports include relevant, critical, and constructive feedback and are always intended to facilitate authors in advancing the quality of their research. RMJ adheres to COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) core practices, ensuring integrity in research and publication. It adopts a double-anonymous peer review process, meaning that submitted articles are reviewed and evaluated at least by two expert reviewers. The journal is committed to keeping authors and reviewers informed of decisions taken within the review process, clarifying the criteria used to make final recommendations on submitted papers.
