Greetings AoIR Folks ~ If you presented your research at the American Sociology Association 2016 Annual Meeting, please consider submitting that paper for consideration in a special ‎issue of the journal Information, Communication & Society (iCS, published by Taylor & Francis). The co-editors of this special issue, Jessie Daniels, Apryl Williams and Shantel Buggs, welcome papers that focus on any facet of digital media technologies, communication, information, or related topics. The journal iCS allows for “green” open access at no cost to authors. This means that authors can archive the pre-print version of their work on their own website or on a repository. For more about iCS copyright policies, see their entry at the SHERPA/RoMEO <https://mail.hunter.cuny.edu/owa/redir.aspx?C=glgspD76UVO5dSz9hvacrHMCrGChYe0D4-rHZwsgc3f3i3bqI_3TCA..&URL=http%3a%2f%2fwww.sherpa.ac.uk%2fromeo%2fsearch.php%3fjtitle%3dics%26issn%3d1369-118X%26zetocpub%3d193%257CSSH%2bTitles%26romeopub%3d193%257CSSH%2bTitles%26fIDnum%3d%257C%26mode%3dsimple%26la%3den%26version%3d%26source%3djournal%26sourceid%3d5346> database.
