Information and Call for Papers for "The Information Society" journal, published quarterly by Taylor & Francis Titles of articles published in Vol. 8 (1992) and Vol. 9 (1993) Subscription Form
----------------------------------------------------------- THE INFORMATION SOCIETY An International Journal
An "information revolution" is clearly underway. The exponential growth in computational capability per unit dollar will continue at least for the next several decades. Communication bandwidth is undergoing simultaneous exponential growth. Connectivity among individuals, companies and nations is forming what some are calling cyberspace and virtual communities and new forums and formats for electronic publishing, communication and commerce. These combined trends are leading us into an Information Society in which wealth, power and freedom of action derive from access to, and effective use of, information.
"The Information Society" journal, published since 1981, is a forum for thoughtful analysis of the impacts, policies, system concepts, methodologies and cultural change related to these trends. It is a refereed journal that publishes scholarly articles, position papers, short communications and book reviews.
"The Information Society" is a multidisciplinary journal whose audience includes policy- and decision-makers and scientists in government, industry and education; managers concerned with the effects of the information revolution on individuals, organizations and society; and scholars with an interest in issues regarding the Information Society.
The Information Society is undergoing a transition under the leadership of its new Editor-in-Chief, Rob Kling. The journal's new editorial board will be experimenting with new electronic and paper formats. Rob Kling is soliciting individual articles and proposals from people who wish to organize and edit special issues.
Among the topics addressed within the journal are:
* changing National Information Infrastructures, especially as they influence cultural expectations and social practices,* the politics of change in National Information
Infrastrustures,* the implications of the coming surge in electronic data interchange (EDI) and electronic commerce among businesses globally,* the ability of companies to "outsource" portions of their information processing to different countries around the world, creating transborder data flow issues for the countries involved and increasing the rapidity with which jobs migrate globally,* meanings and implications of political/economic systems that are based on universal access to baseline information services or fees-for-all-services,* options for, and implications of, various forms of "electronic democracy",* the rise of "virtual communities" of persons worldwide engaging in "many-to-many" communication among their participants, irrespective of borders or corporate structures,* the role of place and space in visions and practice of digital
libraries and electronic forums,* cultural changes in relation to cyberspace -- both empirical
studies and studies of their representation in popular culture,* the structure of the information industries, including
markets, industrial alliances, the character of work, and management-labor relations.
