INFORM
We’re seeking new contributors to INFORM . You can
contribute to Inform in one of two ways. You could either write a
one-off article for the journal, or if you see yourself as a budding
thought-leader and commentator, you could write a short regular column
for us. Any contributions to Inform are (non peer-reviewed)
publications with volume and issue numbers and hence are good evidence
of CPD and show a willingness to engage with the profession. While we
cannot promise you a pay-rise as a result of an article in Inform, a
list of publications always look good at the end of a c.v. Please
email me (alan.lovell@bazian.com)
or my co-editor Kathleen (k.y.irvine@stir.ac.uk)
with any ideas or suggestions. We look forward to hearing from you.
