Aims and Scope


The Journal of Gaming & Virtual Worlds(JGVW) is an international, 
peer-reviewed journal devoted to the study of games and playful 
practices across media platforms and genres. It is a leading forum for 
interdisciplinary dialogue within game studies, focusing primarily on 
theory and criticism of games, the intersection of media, game design 
and gaming culture, and the performative and transformative dimensions 
of games and virtual worlds. The journal is open to diverse research 
approaches including: theoretical, empirical/ethnographical, creative 
and pedagogical methods, as well as submissions from essayists and 
reviewers. We are particularly interested in inter or multi-disciplinary 
contributions that connect scholars across multiple discourses.


JGVWaims at researchers and professionals working in and researching 
creative media, and seeks to document, harmonize, juxtapose and 
critically evaluate the diverse media landscape. It features long 
articles, short papers, essays, interviews and critical reviews of 
relevant new publications, video games, virtual environments and digital 
art.


Those looking to submit an article to the journal should do so via the 
journal’s webpage 
(www.intellectbooks.com/journal-of-gamingvirtual-worlds 
<http://www.intellectbooks.com/journal-of-gamingvirtual-worlds>). 
Prospective guest editors are invited to approach the Associate Editors 
with a proposal for a themed issue or series. Prospective reviewers and 
publishers should approach the Reviews Editor or the VR & Arts Reviews 
Editor respectively.
