These topics are only suggestions.

-
August 2013: Issue published
Please submit an informal proposal (2-3 paragraphs) that lets us understand the main points you want to make in your article, not just the topics you will cover.
Proposals should be sent to:
Aga Bojko: abojko@usercentric.com

User Experience Magazine is a forum for sharing ideas and experiences, not an academic journal. We value conversational language and the emphasis on “real people, real problems, and real solutions.” Our articles are typically between 700 and 2000 words. If you’d like to know more, please take a look at our editorial guidelines.
We look forward to hearing from you!

“Collaboration” is a phenomenon that appears on myriad levels, every day, around the world. How does it impact and contribute to the user experience? Do you have an experience you’d like to share, a relevant case study, or an example of how you’ve employed collaboration to improve the user experience? Articles may come from a broad range of perspectives and include collaboration in different contexts, countries and across domains. Be creative with your submission ideas– we look forward to receiving them!

UX Magazine is a quarterly professional magazine; it is not a technical or academic journal. There are no literature surveys or footnotes. Articles are practical in nature and are written in an active, personal voice. They are typically between 750 and 2000 words. Once an article is accepted, an editor will be assigned to work closely with the author to prepare their article for publication. More information, including UX Magazine editorial guidelines, is available on the UXPA website.
Thanks in advance for your contributions. We look forward to hearing from you!
