<div dir="ltr">Hi all,<div>I've been working with <i>CDQ's </i>associate editor Amber Lancaster on developing a new type of <a href="https://cdq.sigdoc.org/submission-guidelines/">publication avenue for <i>CDQ </i>authors.</a> In essence, we wanted to create a more informal publication option for people who may be working in industry or are industry adjacent and want to share thoughts/developments in a less formal style than the typical academic article. Consequently, we created a new publication category called Field Perspectives & Industry Insights. These articles are shorter, less academically focused, and could cover everything from industry trends to reviews of new software relevant to UX and tech comm. Anyways, we hope some of you are interested in publishing through this new opportunity, and please feel free to share with colleagues who might be interested in writing something shorter and less formal than a traditional, full academic article. <br><br>Here's the description to save you a click :). </div><div><br></div><div><strong>Field Perspectives & Industry Insights.</strong> Opinion-based articles about topics in communication fields (UX, technical communication, communication studies, rhetoric, etc.), including academic and industry issues. These articles can be written in a less formal style than traditional academic articles<em> </em>and may highlight or question trends, introduce the audience to emerging technologies, advocate for changes in practice, or draw attention to overlooked topics, to name a few possibilities. These articles do not require abstracts and will go through editorial review rather than full peer review. Please reach out to the associate editor (<a href="mailto:Amber.Lancaster@oit.edu">Amber.Lancaster@oit.edu</a>) about your idea before submitting a full article. Field Perspectives & Industry Insights should be ~ 2,000-3,000 words long.   <br clear="all"><div><br></div>-- <br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(34,34,34);background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial">Jordan Frith, Ph.D.</span></p>
