Subject: Ubiquitous Learning: An International Journal - Call for Journal
Editor
To: michelsub2004 at gmail.com


Dear Sir/Madam,

*Ubiquitous Learning: An International Journal* seeks an editor, or team of
editors, for a one-year term. This is an opportunity to make a significant
contribution to what we believe will become one of the leading journals in
its field, the journal’s associated conference and, more broadly, the
*knowledge-community
*which the journal and *conference* seek to serve (
http://ubi-learn.com/ideas/)

*The roles of the editor are to*:

   - Write an introduction for the Journal volume which would be included in
   the first issue for the year, and possibly on the website, the newsletter
   and other appropriate places or for the purposes of marketing and promotion.
   - Collate papers addressing a theme of the editor’s choosing into a book,
   to be launched at the conference at the completion of the editor’s term. The
   chapters may be drawn from submissions to the journal during this or recent
   years, and other material as considered appropriate.
   - Actively solicit manuscripts for the Journal from well-known and
   notable members of the community; these would could be refereed if the
   author wished, or regarded as invited papers.
   - Assist the Commissioning Editor with suggestions of supplementary peer
   reviewers for specific papers (and this will never be burdensome – note that
   the Commissioning Editor of the Journal finalizes a majority of the peer
   reviewer requirements based on thematic matching and mutual obligation
   principles in which all author requested to review up to three other
   papers).
   - Promote the journal throughout their network and other associated
   networks.
   - Maintain regular communications with the community via periodical blog
   posts to the community website (which feeds automatically to our email
   newsletter, Facebook and Twitter).

The editor will be offered a complimentary electronic subscription to the
Journal, free copies of the book which they edit, an electronic subscription
to the book series as well as complimentary registrations to attend the
conferences at the beginning and end of their term.

*Qualifications*

*The Editor of* the Journal must possess the following attributes:

   - They will have successfully obtained higher degree, and have academic
   teaching and scholarly research experience in an area related to the subject
   matter of the Journal.
   - They will have published in this or other comparable scholarly
   journals.

Applicants are asked to send:

   1. A cover letter outlining their interest and relevant experience, and
   the ways in which you would propose to enhance the profile of the journal
   2. A curriculum vitae
   3. A special theme outline: a title with paragraph explanation.

Please send applications and supporting documentation to
journals at ubi-learn.com

*The deadline for applications is 26 September 2011*.
