JOURNALS
The Journal of Virtual Worlds Research is
soliciting "think pieces" in response to the following questions:
"In thinking about the spaces of virtual worlds, and the practices
we witness within them, how can we define what counts as culture?
Can we see any common cultural trends emerging in different virtual
worlds, or are practices as disparate as the worlds and groups we
find within them?"
Deadlines: Abstract - June 15, 2009.
Full manuscript - November 1, 2009
Publication Date: December 15, 2009
Policy and Internet invites papers reporting world class research and
scholarship on any aspect of the relationship between the Internet and
public policy. The journal is fully multi-disciplinary in scope. Topics will range across policy sectors and regions of the world, including generalised, sectoral or country-specific policy effects.
