    A Sociedade Brasileira de Design da Informação - SBDI convida pesquisadores da área de design que possam oferecer uma contribuição especial e dinâmica ao desenvolvimento do campo a se candidatar a participar do Conselho Editorial da InfoDesign - Revista Brasileira de Design da Informação <infodesign.org.br>, como Editores Associados.

    Lançada em 2004, a InfoDesign é uma iniciativa pioneira na América Latina, sendo a única revista científica dedicada ao design da informação na região e um dos poucos periódicos científicos de design publicados regularmente no Brasil. A missão da InfoDesign é a disseminação de estudos teóricos e práticos no campo do design da informação, envolvendo resultados de pesquisas em teoria e história do design da informação; desenvolvimento de sistemas de informação e comunicação; impactos sociais e tecnológicos do design da informação; e design da informação aplicado a processos de ensino-aprendizagem.

    Editores Associados colaboram com a Editora-chefe e com a Editora-gerente, encontrando pareceristas apropriados para submissões a eles designadas, e mantendo contato com pareceristas, autores e Editora-gerente, a fim de garantir um processo de avaliação justo, rápido e preciso. Espera-se que os membros do Conselho Editorial incentivem autores a enviar trabalhos relevantes para a revista. Os Editores Associados devem estar dispostos a dedicar pelo menos dois dias por mês à revista e participar de reuniões do Conselho Editorial, que devem ocorrer uma vez ao ano. O processo de revisão é gerenciado on-line, por meio da plataforma OJS da revista, e as reuniões do Conselho Editorial devem ocorrer on-line via Google Meet ou recurso semelhante.

    Nomeações para o Conselho Editorial são para mandatos de cinco anos, que podem ser prorrogados. Os indicados serão isentos de anuidades para a Sociedade Brasileira de Design da Informação - SBDI durante seus mandatos.

    Os candidatos podem estar em qualquer lugar do mundo, desde que tenham acesso regular à Internet. Espera-se que eles possuam título de Doutor, e que tenham experiência com publicação e revisão de trabalhos acadêmicos.

    As inscrições serão analisadas por um Comitê de Seleção composto por membros da diretoria da SBDI e do Conselho Editorial da InfoDesign. Ao fazer a seleção, o Comitê considerará o atendimento ao perfil de Editor Associado, conforme especificado acima, bem como o equilíbrio entre conhecimentos e habilidades do Comitê Editorial como um todo.

    InfoDesign plans an August 2021 issue on data visualization from the point of view of information design. Data visualization is now a mature field that showcases research in several multidisciplinary topics, mostly published in conferences and journals focusing on areas like HCI and computer science. The point of view of information design can offer singular insights on issues related to representation, rhetorics, cognition, emotion, visual design, aesthetics, data-driven design processes, and methodologies while, at the same time, cross-fertilizing these other fields.
