International Journal of Technology and Human Interaction
http://www.idea-group.com/ijthi
www.IJTHI.net
An increasing amount of research is being done in the area where
technology and humans meet. The success or failure of technologies, the
question whether technology helps humans to fulfill their goals or
whether it hinders them is in most cases not a technical one. Even
though this problem has been recognized in many academic disciplines
that deal with technology, we are still far from being able to present a
set of theories that would allow us to understand the interaction of
technology and humans and to put it to practical use.
Mission:
The International Journal of Technology and Human Interaction (IJTHI)
aims to provide a platform for leading research that addresses issues of
human and technology interaction. The research that the journal intends
to publish should therefore be interdisciplinary and include aspects
from a wide variety of disciplines. These disciplines range from more
technical ones such as computer science, engineering, or information
systems to non-technical descriptions of technology and human
interaction from the point of view of sociology or philosophy. Apart
from aiming to be interdisciplinary the journal will also aspire to
provide a publication outlet for research questions and approaches that
are novel and may find it difficult to be published in established
journals following a rigid and exclusive structure. It is open to all
research paradigms, be they empirical or conceptual, but requires that
they be accessible and reflected.
Coverage:
Possible topics include (but are not limited to):
. Experiential learning through the use of technology in
organizations
. Shaping of e-commerce through law and culture
. HCI design for trust development
. The influence of gender on the adoption and use of technology
. The phenomenology of e-government
. The value of intellectual capital in knowledge management
. Questions of computer or information ethics
. The relationship of theory and practice with regards to technology
. Ethical aspects of particular technologies, e.g. e-teaching,
ERP, etc.
. Technological risks and their human basis
. Perceptions and conceptualizations of technology
. The intersection of humanities and sciences and its impact on
technology use
. The social impact of specific technologies (e.g. biometrics,
SCM, PGP,.)
. Normative questions of the development and use of technology
. Philosophy of technology
. Responsibility of Artificial Agents
. Technology assessment of software / hardware development
. Interaction and conversion between technologies and their
impact on society
. The social shaping of technology and human interaction research
. Anthropological consequences of technology use
and all other issues related to the interaction of technology and
humans, either individually or socially.
Other contribution, service as reviewer:
If you are a researcher interested in the area of technology and human
interaction, you are also invited to participate in the journal as a
reviewer. Successful service as a reviewer will result in an invitation
