About this journal
From the Oxford Internet Institute and the Policy Studies
Organization, Policy & Internet is the first major
peer-reviewed
journal investigating the implications of the Internet and
associated
technologies for public policy. The Internet is now the most
important
international medium of communication and information exchange,
embedded in interactions between citizens, firms, governments, and
NGOs, and bringing with it new practices, norms, and structures.
The
societal shift enabled by the Internet has major implications for
public policy in all sectors, requiring rigorous empirical
investigation, theoretical development and methodological
innovation
across academic disciplines. Policy & Internet will be the
premier
venue for scholars and researchers to set the public policy agenda
in
the digital era.
