Journal of Community Informatics

This journal aims to empower communities with information on Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) that can help them achieve their objectives and overcome the "digital divide." The journal seeks to provide information that empowers communities and citizens in the range of ICT applications including health, cultural production, civic management and e-governance. It seeks to reach traditionally excluded populations and communities, and provide information that supports local economic development, social justice and political empowerment using the Internet.

Published four times a year, each issue contains a number of double blind peer-reviewed research articles as well as commentaries by leading Community Informatics (CI) practitioners and policy makers. The Journal provides open access and an open archive for all of its content based on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge. It seeks to reach a global readership including a broad range of academics, CI practitioners and national and multi-lateral policy makers.

Subscriptions are free. Two e-mail discussion lists are available to individuals interested in Community Informatics as well.
