First Monday (FM),
The Information Society (IS),
ISOC's OnTheInternet and Convergence (Convergence) are
leading journals about the information society. First Monday
is free; for the others you'll need to consult the
hardcopy version or use an electronic subscription.
The Journal of the American Society for Information
Science (JASIC),
as the name suggests, is an official journal. It's
particularly valuable for usability and other research.
Cybersociology
and New Media & Society are forums for discussion of social science aspects of
research into cyberspace, with the mix of loopiness,
jargon and insight you'd expect from such a publication.
The Journal of Online Behaviour (JOB)
is a new (2000) journal concerned with the empirical
study of human behaviour online. The
Journal of Virtual Environments (JOVE)
has similar values.
The current Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication (JCMC) is
a publication from
the Annenberg School for Communication at University of
Southern California. The separate Journal of
Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC) reported about people, events, technology,
public policy, culture, practices, study, and applications
related to human communication and interaction in online
environments.
The Electronic
Journal of Communication
(ECM)
is the journal of the Communication Institute for Online
Scholarship, with access restricted to subscribing
institutions and individuals. Overall we're more impressed
by the Communications of the Association for Computing
Machinery (ACM).
The Center for Digital Discourse & Culture at Virginia
Tech, one of the more interesting US electronic publishing
centres, offers an online Cyberculture,
Information Society & Internet Research News site.
The Journal of Media & Culture (MC)
and Kairos,
an electronic journal about writing, are too
inward-looking for our tastes but may meet the needs of
some visitors to this site.
Arthur Kroker's postmodern
CTheory is an online journal for the po-mo
deconstructionist set. Interesting, but only in small
doses.
gateway sites
Among cyberstudies sites are the Resource Centre for Cyber
Culture Studies (RCCS),
the University of Surrey Digital World Research Centre (DWRC)
