Manuscripts that connect to the broader literature on labor history are particularly encouraged. Submissions can address labor issues, practices, or structures within a wide range of settings including computer, software, networking, or semiconductor/components companies throughout the world; user organizations (corporations, government, universities, hospitals, etc.); peer production projects (open source); trade organizations; professional associations; etc. Possible themes and approaches include, but are not limited to, the history of work practices, work culture, shop floor dynamics, labor organization, legislation/lobbying, professionalization, automation and labor displacement, offshoring, gender/race/ethnicity and IT work, safety and risk in the workplace, etc. The deadline for submission to this thematic issue is January 15, 2010. Manuscripts will go through IEEE Annals of the History of Computing’s standard peer review process. If there are more accepted manuscripts than slots for the issue, editors will decide which articles to include based on quality, coverage, and synergies between manuscripts. If there are accepted manuscripts not included in the issue, they will be added to the general publication queue and published in a later issue of IEEE Annals of the History of Computing. All articles must be between 5,000 and 8,000 words, including citations/endnotes. To submit your manuscript go to http://www2.computer.org/portal/web/annals/home Select “Write for Us” tab at the top and follow instructions (including selecting the Labor History thematic/special issue). If you have any questions or would like feedback on ideas/manuscripts prior to submission, please contact IEEE Annals of the History of Computing Editor in Chief Jeffrey Yost (yostx003@umn.edu <mailto:yostx003@umn.edu> or 612 624 5050)
Dear SIGCIS members, This is a reminder that article submissions for the special/theme issue of IEEE Annals of the History of Computing on Labor History of Information Technology are due a month from today (January 15, 2010). The labor theme (as described in the CFP below) is broadly conceived. The articles passing review will be published in the October 2010 issue of IEEE Annals of the History of Computing (in other words, there will be a very short time frame from final acceptance to seeing your article in print!). If I can answer any questions, comment on a draft, etc., please let me know. Best, Jeff Jeffrey Yost Associate Director, Charles Babbage Institute Editor in Chief, IEEE Annals of the History of Computing University of Minnesota 222 21st Avenue South Minneapolis, MN 55455 612 624 5050 612 625 8054 (Fax) Call for Papers
