As the IJAI is run on a voluntary basis the editors require lots of assistance. If you would like to help out with this project here are some ideas to consider:
Submit an article?
Articles may be of any
length and on any subject related to Irish archaeology, with or without
graphics. Papers may be submitted on disks formatted for either IBM PC or
Apple Macintosh. For preference, documents should be provided in HTML, RTF
or plain text with illustrations already scanned. In exceptional
circumstances printed documents and photographs may be accepted.
The Peer Review
Board?
To ensure that previously
unpublished research papers conform to the highest standards, the IJAI
require each to be submitted to the peer review board. At present the IJAI
are recruiting new members for the board. If you wish to be considered for
such a position, please send a current Curriculum Vitae indicating
your experience and areas of interest to the editors.
Submit a Peer
Commentary?
In addition to the academic
checks of peer review, the editors hope to implement the format of Peer
Commentary in future issues. The format consists of a short
discussion/rebuttal etc. of a paper published in the journal. Should you
wish to take issue with any points made by an author, you are invited to
consider submitting such a peer commentary. On the acceptance of a peer
commentary the original author will be invited to provide a suitable
reply. It is hoped that this feature will provide a forum for structured
and reasoned debate which will be of value to the discipline.
Submit a book review?
The editors will welcome
all submissions of book reviews. Any topics related to the archaeology of
Ireland will be considered.
Submit an internet
resource review?
The IJAI welcomes
any reviews of internet web-sites which are of relevance to Irish
archaeology. You may use the IJAIlinks page
as a convenient starting place.
Submit a book for
review?
If you are the
author/publisher of a book of relevance to Irish archaeology, please
consider sending it to the IJAI.
If you are interested in any of these please options, or have some ideas of your own, please contact the editors:
