<p>I'd like to invite you to consider contributing to the <em><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Business Intelligence Journal</span></em>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The <em><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Business Intelligence Journal</span></em> is a quarterly publication of the best, most educational, forward-looking thought pieces in the business intelligence and data warehousing industry. It is read
by BI/analytics/DW professionals who are looking for creative approaches, new ideas, and tried-and-true techniques.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>All submissions are reviewed by the editorial staff for timeliness, actionable information, and vendor neutrality. Please visit
<a href="http://click.1105data.com/?qs=50b7872b285500cf150809b1dff89183590d0bcddad33039ecd87e6cb0f81f73d74c485da44c2c29" target="_blank">
tdwi.org/journalsubmissions</a> for complete submission guidelines. Article submissions must not promote products or companies in any way, must not have been published previously in any form, and must be completely educational in nature.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">If you are thinking about submitting a manuscript, there are several things that you should consider.<o:p></o:p></p>

</span></span></span><![endif]>Read several articles for the <i>Business Intelligence Journal
</i>before you begin writing to get a feel for the writing. Articles for a practitioner audience are different than for academics. Send me a message (<a href="mailto:hwatson@uga.edu">hwatson@uga.edu</a>) and I’ll send you sample articles.<o:p></o:p></p>

</span></span></span><![endif]>Your submissions will be reviewed in weeks, rather than months. Manuscripts are usually accepted or rejected based on the initial submission. Requests for revisions are rare and are normally minor, and all manuscripts are professionally
copy edited. Manuscripts are either accepted or rejected for each issue; as a result, there is a minimal publishing backlog and manuscripts are published in three to six months after acceptance.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I look forward to seeing your original work in the <em><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Journal</span></em> soon. Please contact me (<a href="mailto:hwatson@uga.edu">hwatson@uga.edu</a>) if you have questions. Submissions should be sent to
the <em><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Journal's </span></em>managing editor, Jennifer Agee (<a href="mailto:journal@tdwi.org">journal@tdwi.org</a>).
