Call for Papers: The International Journal of Role Playing (IJRP)
2007-10-01 05:52 | Posted by lankoski | Permanent Link | Call for PapersThe International Journal of Role Playing (IJRP) is now accepting submissions for the 1st issue, due out in early 2008. Deadline for submissions is January 1st, 2008.
The International Journal of Role Playing
invites researchers, designers, developers, academics, artists and
others involved in the growing field of research related to role
playing to submit articles. The IJRP is a peer-reviewed journal, and
welcomes submissions from any sphere of interest, knowledge network,
research field or development sector that directly or indirectly
relates to role playing interests.
Potential topics include but are certainly not limited to the following:
- Role playing games, e.g. frameworks, storytelling and graphics; art, design and creative industry
- Role playing culture, psychology, media, economics, and sociology
- Role playing technology, surveys, vocabulary, training and education
- Other aspects of role playing and related research and development
The International Journal of Role Playing is
a biannual international journal that covers all aspects of role
playing, irrespective of the medium, platform or intent. The IJRP
specifically aims to act as the focal point, for pushing the limits of role-playing knowledge, and to
improve sharing of knowledge across the knowledge networks involved
with role playing- and related work, notably the industry, the academia
and the arts. The
journal will encourage the exchange of ideas and experiences, and will
be a free, online forum where knowledge can be harvested. In
realizing that the knowledge networks involved with role playing- and
related work are based in a variety of interest spheres, which write
and publish their work in different ways, the IJRP will accommodate the
knowledge sharing principles of the various networks.
The International Journal of Role Playing is an innovative, novel platform for knowledge sharing that reaches across traditional fields, and will treat submissions from academia, industry and creative forces
on an equal basis through a joint publication framework, which is
specifically designed to accommodate contributions from all of these
diverse sources.
All
submissions will be peer reviewed by three members of the
multi-disciplinary editorial boards, who represent the diverse
interests of the knowledge networks involved in role playing and
related work, e.g. academia, industry and the arts. All submissions
will be reviewed by experts from the knowledge network of the
submission, together with at least one reviewer from a different
network. Through this and other initiatives, the IJRP aims to assist
authors in promoting cross-network aspects of their work.
The International Journal of
Role Playing is an online publication
backed up by on-demand printing. The IJRP aims to have all papers go
through their initial review within three months of
receipt. Manuscripts should be submitted electronically, following the
instructions on the IJRP website: www.play.blogs.com/rp, which also contains important dates and deadlines.
The IJRP specifically aims at providing authors with a higher than
usual degree of freedom in composing their manuscripts and expressing ideas. Consult the journal website for more information.
