Periodically editors may run across published web content (blog posts, etc) that they feel would work well as a code4lib journal article. The following is a process for allowing that to happen.

  1. Someone from the editorial board nominates an article by adding it to the Proposals tab in the Article Tracking spreadsheet and then emailing c4lj-articles
  2. Editors vote on it as if it came from outside the editorial board
  3. An editor volunteers (not necessarily the same person as #1)
  4. The editor contacts the author to see if they are interested in re-publishing the article in c4lj
  5. If yes, it follows the normal process

Note, it is important not to contact the author to see if they are interested in re-publishing their article prior to the proposal being accepted by the editorial board. This will prevent unnecessary disappointment or potential insult if the proposal is ultimately voted down.
