Scope[edit]

Internet Policy Review publishes original interdisciplinary research drawing from communications, the internet, media and law. The journal's editorial focus lies in research that tracks public regulatory changes and private policy developments which are expected to have long lasting impacts on European societies. It draws on empirical research and analysis of contemporary debate about media, information technology, telecommunications and internet governance. It has among other published papers on artificial intelligence [1], censorship [2], citizen scoring algorithms [3], content moderation and platform governance [4], copyright [5], internet filtering [6], political micro trageting [7], the power of big tech [8] and surveillance [9]. On average, the journal publishes 50 papers a year [10]. Apart from quarterly issues, the journal includes two special sections: one is 'Defining concepts of the digital society' [11] and the other a 'Glossary of decentralised technosocial systems' [12]

Membership, partnerships and indexing[edit]

The journal is a member of the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA) and the Radical Open Access Collective. It partners with the Association of Internet Researchers (AoIR) and the International Association for Media and Communications Research (IAMCR) for the publication of special issues and Best Paper Awards. It is indexed with ISSN 2197-6775 in ERIH PLUS, Scopus, Web of Science, and the Directory of Open Access Journals.

Governance and funding[edit]

Internet Policy Review consists of an 18-member international editorial board, a six-member managing board and an editorial team of ten people [13]. The editorial board's role is to provide long-term guidance and advice on the academic orientation of the journal. The managing board makes mid-term recommendations and takes decisions about ethical, methodological and other academic questions. The editorial team's task is to ensure the quality of the journal and to operate it on a daily basis.

The journal is scholar-led and thereby receives core institutional funding from its publishing institution HIIG, as well as the publishing partners. It received voluntary donations by research institutions and foundations for special issues and special sections. The journal is also committed to building scholar-led consortia, together with university libraries. From 2019 to 2021, the journal enjoyed open access funding from the German Research Foundation for a project called InnOAccess [14].

Open access[edit]

Internet Policy Review is a platinum open access journal, with an open access strategy [15] which includes open abstracts [16], a crowd-based peer review feature for extended abstracts, and considers Web accessibility as part of open access.
