This series features preprints of submissions to The Information Warrior Journal, a student-run, fully open-access journal showcasing student and recent alumni scholarship from the Wayne State University School of Information Sciences (SIS).
While only select submissions will advance to publication in the journal, all SIS student work submitted to the journal has been vetted by SIS faculty and deserves broad attention. Preprints published here provide a window into the excellent work happening at Wayne State, and the series provides a space for Wayne State SIS students and recent graduates to receive constructive feedback and improve their skills to engage with the world of professional publishing.
