We seek to increase the participation of museum and archive submissions and invite you to submit new articles to our journal that focus on assessment and evaluation. We welcome submissions from all levels of museums, libraries, and archives. Submissions from conference paper and poster presentations are welcome, but require significant addition from the conference presentation (e.g., additional data, reexamination of data for a different perspective). We also welcome assessment and evaluation submissions that are cross-disciplinary.? Please consider publishing with us.

We are also looking for peer reviewers. If you are interested in becoming a peer reviewer please submit a 100 word bio and your CV.
