The Journal of Virtual Worlds Research would be interested. Jeremiah Spence Editor, JVWR Charles Ess wrote:
Funny you should ask ... with Mia Consalvo, Robert Burnett, and the multiple contributors to our forthcoming _Blackwell Handbook of Internet Studies_, we've been developing a list of journals that might be interested in reviewing the book when it becomes available this fall. The following is _not_ intended to reflect any sort of priority ...
US New Media & Society Critical Studies in Media Communication Journal of Communication Information, Communication & Society Journal of Computer Mediated Communication Journal of Broadcasting & Electronic Media Electronic Journal of Communication Media, Culture & Society First Monday Review of Communication The Information Society Journal of Online Behavior -- Barry Wellman was on editorial board Telecommunications Policy (Sandra Braman has published) Telematics & Informatics (Sandra Braman on editorial board)
International: Nordicom Review Mediekultur International Journal of Internet Science -- Barry Wellman, editorial board Mobile Communication Research Annual -- Barry Wellman, editorial board Javnost/The Public European Journal of Communication Media, Culture, and Society Continuum Ethics and the Information Society
It would be interesting to see if other AoIRists have additional suggestions, comments, etc.
Enjoy! - charles ess
I apologize in advance for the absurdity of (the scope of) this request--but can anyone point me to a good list of some of the favorite current Internet/New Media related journals. (I realize the words good and favorite in this context are fairly useless descriptors but didn't want this email to become a paper in and of itself, so thought I'd try those words out and see if they'd slip past, unnoticed...)
Thanks very much! Cheers, Kevin

Folks were asking today about communities of practice in relation to ICTs. Just so happens that our editorial team (Chris Nippert-Eng, me, Jess Collins, Julie Amoroso) is right now putting together the final version of the special CITASA issue of Information COmmunication and Society -- due out this August.
Two of the papers are CoP:
Carey Sargent's study of "Local Musicians Building Global Audiences" in Richmond & Charlottesville, Virginia, USA. You can also catch Carey talking about her research on YouTube, and listen to her bank, pinko communards on their own website.
Yuri Takhteyev's "Networks of Practice as Heterogeneous Actior Networks: The Case of Software Development in Brazil." The title says it all.
Both are nice case studies combining theory, observation and reflection.
Enjoy.

I have found this book helpful when thinking about communities of practice: Holland, D., W. Lachicotte, D. Skinner and C. Cain. 1998. Identity and agency in cultural worlds. Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press.
Also, Scollon, R. (2001). Mediated discourse: The nexus of practice. London: Routledge and some chapters from Jones, R. H., & Norris, S. (2005). Discourse in action: Introducing mediated discourse analysis. London [u.a.]: Routledge.
I hope this is of assistance to you.
