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.

  • Style: Articles should fall into one of TechKnowLogia's stated content categories and be related to a particular theme.
  • Content: Articles should describe the context of the experience, the experience itself, its rationale, its modality and its effectiveness in terms of economic and educational benefits. Authors submitting articles warrant that the content of their articles is accurate and reliable. Highly technical/academic articles are discouraged.
  • Article Submission and Acceptance: Submitted articles are not guaranteed for acceptance. They will be reviewed for style and content. Authors will be promptly informed whether their submission is accepted.

Guidelines for Article Format
  • Title & Byline: Articles should include a title and byline (author's name, position and affiliation.) Also, authors may include very brief information about themselves in the form of an endnote. Should the author wish to be contacted by our readers, please include the author’s coordinates, also in an endnote.

  • Introductory paragraph: We propose that an article be started with a short paragraph that introduces the topic and summarizes the article. We encourage a "catchy" introduction.
  • Subtitles: Use subtitles generously.
  • References and links: We encourage the use of references and links (URLs) for important ideas. If you include links, please check that they work appropriately, i.e. the addresses are correct. Numbered comments are requested in the form of endnotes.
  • Length: Articles should be between 2500 - 3000 words and in WORD 97 format.
  • Language: Please set the language to English (United States).
  • Pictures/graphics: Pictures and graphics in GIF or JPEG format are invited as long as the file size is not prohibitively large (e.g. not more than 50 - 100K). Please send any pictures/graphics separately as attachments in an email.
