Colleagues, With apologies for cross-postings. The Journal of Information Policy (www.jip-online.org) is celebrating one year online! The recent posting of Eli Noam article "Let Them Eat Cellphones: Why Mobile Wireless is No Solution for Broadband" (http://jip.vmhost.psu.edu/ojs/index.php/jip/article/view/64/43) marked the completion of the first volume of the Journal of Information Policy, a publication of the Institute for Information Policy at Penn State, supported by a generous grant made by the Ford Foundation. Since its launch on February 17, 2011 the Journal has published 16 peer-reviewed research articles, 5 essays, 2 conference reports, and 6 book reviews, for a total of 485 pages. Authors span the globe, coming from 10 countries, with 39 reviewers from 13 countries. Involvement in the Journal reflects its original goals: among the authors are some of the leading scholars in information policy studies as well as a number of up and coming new voices; it is a diverse slate of scholars; and while the topics covered are timely, all papers were subjected to a rigorous double-blind peer review by at least two reviewers. So far, 32 articles have been submitted for peer review and some are still making their way through the process. In its first year, the Journal's workshops have drawn growing attention and have been conducted with a growing network of collaborators, for which we are grateful: The New America Foundation's Open Technology Initiative, The Donald McGannon Communication Research Center at Fordham University and the Mack Center for Technological Innovation at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. The Journal's online presence has contributed to its near-immediate recognition as a respected outlet for information policy scholarship. By the end of December, its website had 2,855 unique visitors from 75 countries, with 20,861 page views and 2,725 downloads. We have just signed an agreement with Proquest to carry the Journal's papers in its database. This early recognition by a respected database adds to the other indexing services through which interested parties can search for the Journal's articles: CrossRef, DOAJ and LOCKSS. Perhaps most gratifying has been the Journal's recognition as one of two outlets for selected papers coming out of TPRC, a partnership to continue in 2012. Speaking of the future, we are currently heavily involved in the process of putting together a special issue on "New Media, New ICTs and Democracy," and the special TPRC issue. We are looking forward to the workshop and subsequent issue on "The End of the Telephone System," which will be our third issue for 2012, to be published in the fall. We encourage all to submit timely studies on information policy to the Journal through our online submission system (www.jip-online.org). Best wishes, Amit M. Schejter and Richard D. Taylor, Editors Benjamin W. Cramer, Managing Editor
