[accessibleimage] Re: May issue The British Journal of Visual Impairments

Dear Lisa and the list,

Thank you for letting people know about the special issue of BJVI - we
were very pleased with it.

Just to let you all know, I was recently asked to join the editorial
board of BJVI, and one of my jobs will be to encourage submission of
articles to the journal. If you read the Submission Guidelines below,
you will note that the journal encourages practice- and experience-based
reports as well as more academic or scientific ones. Please feel free to
contact me if you might be thinking of submitting something. Given that
my research interests are in tactile maps and graphics, I will be happy
to support the inclusion of articles in this area.

All the best

Simon Ungar

__________________________

BJVI Submission Guidelines

The journal invites contributions relevant to any aspect of the care,
education, psychological development, and the medical/social/vocational
rehabilitation of children and adults who are visually impaired. Given
the wide range of professional and academic disciplines which impinge on
the subject, authors should write and structure their papers to make
them accessible to practitioner and researchers outside as well as
within, their own particular disciplines.

The journal will also publish shorter and less scientifically-oriented
accounts from visually impaired people themselves and from their
families as they reflect on their experiences. Practitioners are asked
to contribute their thoughts, opinions and issues encountered and dealt
with in their everyday practice.
