Internet Research (INTR): Call for Special Issue Proposals
Internet Research (INTR) is pleased to announce a call for special issue proposals within the journal's scope.
Internet Research is an international, refereed journal that aims to describe, assess and foster understanding of the role of wide-area, multi-purpose computer networks such as the Internet.
The Internet continues to gather influence and momentum, and it becomes increasingly important to be aware of the potential applications of this powerful resource throughout professional, political, personal and academic life. We therefore strongly encourage research that develops theoretical insights and understanding on topics and issues addressing the potential social, ethical, economic, managerial and political implications which arise from mass public access to information resources.
Special issue proposals will be considered in the following but not limited to:
- Societal and ethical issues (e.g., internet addiction, doxing, cyberbullying, misinformation, fear of missing out)
- Economic implications (e.g., electronic commerce, mobile commerce, and social commerce)
- Managerial and organisational issues (e.g., Internet use practices, cyberloafing, management policies and governance mechanisms)
- Political implications (e.g., civic engagement, collective action, Internet-related policy research)
Please contact the journals Commissioning Editor, Charlotte Eagles ([email protected]) and provide a brief overview of your Special Issue topic and the Guest Editor team. If your Special Issue is selected, you will be provided with a Special Issue proposal form and progress to the next stage. Please note that progressing to the next stage is not a guarantee that your Special Issue will be approved.
