Early Career Call for Papers

June 15, 2020



Are you an early career academic on the tenure track or who requires
research products for promotion or continuing appointment and have been
negatively affected by the recent outbreak of COVID-19 (i.e. had a recent
conference paper or presentation cancelled that you were counting
on for your curriculum vitae or dossier)? If so, the Journal of Map &
Geography Libraries <https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/wmgl20/current> would
like to publish your research together in a special issue that will help to
document this unprecedented time.



To be clear, your research DOES NOT have to be about COVID-19. Also,
although we will not attempt to verify that submitting authors require
publications for an upcoming promotion and/or tenure, please limit
yourselves to this category to give those most in need a chance to publish
their work.



For this special issue we will be temporarily waive the journal scope
although we are still hoping to receive papers that are related to library
and information science or geography, mapping and geographic information
systems. If you have any specific questions about the scope of the
journal for this special issue, please contact [log in to unmask]



We hope that you and your families are doing OK during this crisis; be safe
out there.

Nathan Piekielek and Marcy Bidney
