About the journal
Overview
Aims and Scope
The Internet is now the most important international medium of communication and information exchange, embedded in interactions between citizens, firms, governments and NGOs. A significant proportion of economic, social and political life now takes place on-line, bringing new practices, norms and structures. This shift has major implications for public policy in all sectors, from economic policy, social policy and transport to diplomacy and foreign policy.
Understanding public policy in the age of the internet requires understanding how individuals, organizations, governments and networks behave and what motivates them in this new environment. Technological innovation combined with internet-mediated interaction challenges conventional public policy dilemmas — and brings to the fore new ethical issues. New forms of on-line social interaction, such as social networking, peer production, discussion forums and virtual worlds all have potential policy effects. Navigation of these changed waters requires methodological innovation, theoretical development and rigorous empirical investigation. It requires expertise from across academic disciplines, from both science and social science.
Policy & Internet is the first journal to fill this crucial gap in policy knowledge and research. Policy & Internet calls for papers reporting on innovative research into some aspect of the implications of the Internet for public policy. Perspectives from any academic discipline are welcomed, particularly political science, economics, law, sociology, information science, communications, philosophy, computer science, psychology, management, geography and medicine. Topics range across e-commerce, digital government, privacy, cybercrime, Internet activism, identity management, online social networks and relationships, e-democracy, on-line negotiation, internet technology policy, e-health and online education.
The journal also looks forward at the internet-enabled world that policy makers will need to deal with and understand in the next decades; what changes can we anticipate to the economy and education, to working life, to the government and the military, and to the very notion of public life? What policies will encourage favourable development and what problems need policies? As society changes, new policies are required for generations to come. Policy & Internet will be the venue for premier scholars and researchers to set the agenda.

General Submission Rules
1.Policy & Internet welcomes papers that present genuinely new approaches to a policy question or problem relating to the Internet and related information and communication technologies. Such approaches may include methodological innovation, theoretical development or new data. Please ensure that the paper considers the policy implications of the research presented.
2.Papers should observe standard practice for a peer reviewed academic journal. The argument and findings should be placed in the context of existing academic literature in the field. Empirical claims should be substantiated with appropriate evidence and referencing.
3.Policy & Internet is an international multidisciplinary journal in a new and fragmented field: our potential audience is therefore very wide. Please ensure that there is enough context to your argument that the paper can have value for people outside of your specific field or geographical region.
4.Papers should be succint, written in clear English, and closely and critically argued. A word count between 6,000-8,000 words is ideal.
5.We are unlikely to accept papers that are mostly or entirely descriptive, or that lack depth, substance, critical assessment and clear contribution to the field.
6.Papers must include an up to date reference list. Referencing should be in Harvard style. A list of examples is available here.
7.We welcome submissions that have been previously published as working papers.
8.Submitted articles cannot have been previously published, nor be forthcoming in an archival journal or book (print or electronic). Please note: "publication" in a working-paper series does not constitute prior publication. In addition, by submitting material to Policy & Internet, the author is stipulating that the material is not currently under review at another journal (electronic or print) and that he or she will not submit the material to another journal (electronic or print) until the completion of the editorial decision process at Policy & Internet.
