About the Journal

The Information Retrieval Research Journal (IRRJ) is a new open access journal that provides an international forum for the electronic and paper publication of high-quality scholarly articles in all areas of Information Retrieval. IRRJ has a commitment to rigorous yet rapid reviewing. All published papers will be freely available online. Final versions are assigned a DOI and will be published electronically immediately upon receipt (ISSN 3050-9114). Paper volumes are published and sold by Radboud University Press (ISSN 3050-9106). IRRJ does not charge article processing costs and aims to support researchers from low-income countries that currently have a hard time engaging with the field.
