Dear Serious Gamer,
We would like to advise you that Information Sciences will publish a
peer-reviewed, special issue on Serious Games in the fall of 2013.
Information Sciences<http://www.journals.elsevier.com/information-sciences/>
is an international, refereed journal with a 5-year impact factor of
2.984. We would like to invite you to submit a manuscript for
consideration for publication in this special issue.
The emergence of Serious Games as a field of study, research and
business has taken many by surprise. Ten years ago few would have
guessed that games technologies would be so pervasive, not just in
terms of entertainment games. Comparatively recently a new genre of
games has emerged: games for non-entertainment purposes, including
educational games, training simulations, educational online
multiplayer games, games for change, meaningful games and games for
health, to name a few. The main trends in research have diverged as
well: papers in educational science journals, health journals, popular
science journals and psychology journals indicate the range of
interest in these non-entertainment games.
This special issue will focus on bringing together contributions from
diverse fields of serious games, and perspectives of practitioners and
academics. Further, we will strive to present international
viewpoints from the various serious games communities of the USA,
Europe, Asia and Africa. The volume will aim to appeal to a wide range
of readers, therefore, such as computer scientists, IT specialists,
managers, trainers and tutors, academics in education and scientists
interested in creative problem-solving.
The deadline for submission is October 15, 2012. Further details about
the special issue and the call for papers can be found here:
