New partnership with the Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society (HIIG) is expected to strengthen the interdisciplinary character of the open access journal Internet Policy Review.
The Internet Interdisciplinary Institute (IN3) is joining forces with the journal’s publishing institution Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society (HIIG) in Berlin, Glasgow’s CREATe research consortium and research institute ISCC-CNRS from Paris.
As part of the new partnership, IN3 will get involved in the editorial work and management of the open access journal Internet Policy Review.
The participation of IN3 to the mission of Internet Policy Review is expected to boost the number of quality submissions that the journal receives on a rolling basis. It will also strengthen the interdisciplinary character at the core of the publication. The journal is known for identifying emerging themes and publishing pioneering special issues on topics such as big data, the sharing economy, internet governance and political micro-targeting.
Internet Policy Review (ISSN 2197-6775) is a peer reviewed open access journal publishing cutting-edge internet research from all parts of Europe.

Its goal is to understand the interplay of socio-cultural, legal, economic and technical norms in the process of digitisation. It serves as a forum for researchers on internet and society and encourages the collaborative development of projects, applications and research networks on the national and international level.
