share’IT:International Journal of Internet Science
Guess what… It is an open acces journal, recently launched. I got the information via the Media @ LSE group weblog.
The initial note explained:
The recently-launched International Journal of Internet Science [which] will publish twice a year online, readable by anyone, with 5-7 papers in each ‘issue’.
The site is availlable @ http://www.ijis.net/. The presentation says:
A peer reviewed open access journal for empirical findings, methodology, and theory of social and behavioral science concerning the Internet and its implications for individuals, social groups, organizations, and society.
I am not a specialist so that I won’t argue about the quality of this journal. But I like the idea of the creation of such a source of information, and furthermore, the open access on it.
