Information Research: an international electronic journal

Information Research is one of the premier Open Access journals covering Information and LIS subjects. The January issue includes, among a wide diversity of topics, several papers about the information needs and behaviors of various groups: a paper by Paulina Junni looks at the role of the internet in the information seeking behaviors of Master's candidates; Zahed Bigdeli examines the information habits and needs of Iranian Engineers; and Eric M. Meyers, Lisa P. Nathan, and Matthew L. Saxton study the "Barriers to information seeking in school libraries."

IR was one of the early adopters of the electronic format, growing out of the print publication Information Research News. Editor Tom Wilson has been publishing IR electronically since 1995, starting from a three-paper "trial issue" in April of that year. The journal is now in its 12th year and going strong!

The way you've discussed the significance of an international electronic journal for information research is commendable. In a world where information knows no borders, having a platform that facilitates global collaboration and knowledge-sharing is invaluable. It's fascinating to see how the landscape of research and academia has evolved since then, with electronic journals becoming even more prevalent in our digital age.
