| Editorial Position and
Approach
TechKnowLogia is a forum
for dialogue and sharing of knowledge and experiences, and an instrument
to encourage thinking "outside the box." To this end, our editorial policy
is driven by rigor, reliability of data and relevance to our clientele.
The journal does not hold a priori positions regarding certain policies,
strategies or technologies, nor does it endorse particular products, services
or institutions. It is, therefore, conceivable (and desirable) to carry
articles that embrace or advocate different views or positions.
TechKnowLogia is not
a specialized academic journal. It is a one-stop magazine that deals with
the whole domain of issues related to technologies for knowledge and learning.
Since it caters to a diverse clientele with varied backgrounds and resources,
it covers the whole spectrum of technologies in a crisp, strategy-oriented
and practical manner. In many instances it offers a digest of available
knowledge in the interest of readers who have limited or no access to sources
of information. For information on TechKnowLogia's readership
profile, click here.
