Since early in AoIR's short life, there have been questions about when, how, and whether we should launch a journal of our own. AoIR does not have a journal of its own. Most professional associations publish one or more journals. Since May 2004 an online working group composed by AoIR members has discussed thoughtful considerations of the issues upon which the AoIR executive committee will base a decision. Specifically, the group has: 1) identified existing journals that publish internet research; 2) Identified the possibilities for AoIR; 3) For each possibility the group has identified the advantages and disadvantages. In Sussex we will talk more about the "AoIR journal": - Sunday after lunch @ the BoF session - On Monday afternoon, during the AoIR General Meeting. You are invited to participate to the discussion of this very important opportunity for the future of AoIR. See you soon !

This sounds great Monica. I have a summarised report on the discussions that occured which will be going to the exec committee (I will not be at Sussex myself - but hope to be at Chicago) and will be glad to send it over to anyone wishing to look at it. In addition, I think you might be able to access the archives of the discussion - but Jeremy is the expert on that. thanks and all conference attendees - have a great conference! radhika http://www.cyberdiva.org

I'm happy to see that this is moving forward and applaud the steady deliberation on this subject. Having been a book review editor for the American Communication Journal (ACJ) and later having my spouse, Stephanie, serve as co-editor of ACJ with Norm Clark, I know that getting an online journal up and running involves a tremendous amount of work and frustration and should only be undertaken with a firm grasp of what it entails. I look forward to the discussion at AOIR and encourage my fellow members to start thinking of what they could do to help support such a journal. BTW, I attended a gathering yesterday at my small local library as part of the September Project. We had an excellent discussion on racism in the aftermath of 9-11. I was happy that it was not just "the usual suspects." Did anyone else out there attend a September Project event? How did it go? -TED Ted M.

My UBC colleague, John Willinsky, has created Open Journal Systems - software that supports open source online journal management and publishing - and last I checked, it was free <no wonder Bush is so suspicious of everything coming out of Canada>. It has been vetted and found worthy by large organizations like the American Educational Research Association, and small development efforts. Worth a look, I should think. http://pkp.ubc.ca/ojs/ Mary -- When the circuit learns your job, what are you going to do? Marshall McLuhan
