{Apologies for cross-postings} Based on the advice of the Senior Editorial Board, I am writing to ask for your input as I personally solicit submissions from scholars working in the areas relevant to the Journal of Information Technology & Politics (JITP). If there is someone you would like me to invite to prepare a manuscript for submission to JITP, please visit the referral page at the link just below. https://surveyweb2.ucsur.pitt.edu/jitp/db/ Based on your referral, I will write a personal e-mail invitation inviting the scholar to consider JITP as a publishing outlet. The message will also list the person (or persons) who made the referral and it will include attachments with the Call for Papers, Instructions for Authors, and our Referee Guidelines. The referral web page will have fields for the first and last name of the person you are recommending, as well as their e-mail address. It will also ask for your first and last names and e-mail address. It should take only a minute or less for each referral you send. Please send as many as you can! Reading v.100 n.4 of the APSR (the flagship journal of the American Political Science Association), I was struck by the fact that 100 years ago, the inaugural editor of that journal struggled to get the flow of good manuscripts started. Perhaps in the year 2106, longtime JITP readers will marvel at the fact that this journal went through similar early growing pains. With your help, I'm sure we can get the word out (and the manuscripts in) to make JITP a long term success. Many thanks, ~Stu -- Dr. Stuart W.
