Aims & Scope

Ticker: The Academic Business Librarianship Review (biannual, ISSN: 2369-9779) is an open access, DOAJ-indexed journal. We publish a variety of contributions from practitioners of business librarianship, and other closely related sub-fields: original research, commentary, conference reports, case studies, renovation profiles, stories of innovation, library management and best practices, and evidence-based pieces. In addition, the journal features examples of translational research — instances where academic business libraries have implemented faculty research findings on management best practices (i.e., collaboration, work-around techniques, staff motivation, space redesign, vendor negotiations, etc.). We are a practitioner-friendly journal, highly valuing works about the practice of business librarianship. Our core audience is business librarians in academic, public, and special libraries, but much of our content would be of value to librarians working in managerial, collections, and data-focused roles in any library setting. Our authors and content represent both the US and international work environments and perspectives. We welcome new librarians and new authors to submit articles. We recognize you may have questions and would like to support you during the manuscript submission and review process by giving you insightful and useful feedback. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to relevant members of the editorial team with any questions or concerns.

A twelfth criterion — whether APC fees are clearly disclosed — is not scored here; it is left out of the total rather than counted as a failure. Publication charges appear in the metrics card above.
