Internet Research (INTR) is pleased to welcome Special Issue proposals that reflect the journal's mission to advance understanding of the Internet and its far-reaching impact.
As an international, peer-reviewed journal, Internet Research publishes high-quality research that explores the role of wide-area, multipurpose computer networks and their influence across society.
With the Internet continuing to transform how we live, work, learn and engage with one another, understanding its opportunities, challenges and consequences has never been more important. We encourage proposals that bring together cutting-edge research and fresh perspectives on the social, ethical, economic, managerial and political implications of widespread access to information and digital resources.
We welcome innovative and timely Special Issue ideas that address current and emerging topics, stimulate scholarly debate and help shape future research in this dynamic field.
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)
