User Experience (UX) techniques are used to improve websites, services, and even physical spaces. But what about Academic Scholarship? At Weave: The Journal of Library User Experience, the editors and editorial board are all UX practitioners, so using UX techniques comes naturally when improving the journal for both authors and readers. We've redesigned the submission process and editorial workflows based on author experiences, and have made a number of changes to improve the value and experience of Weave's content for our readers.
