Information, Society & Justice Journal
About the Journal
Information Society and Justice (ISJ) is a biannual peer-review journal based in the Department of Applied Social Sciences (DASS) at the London Metropolitan University.
The journal is governed by an Editorial Board drawn from UK and overseas. It seeks to provide a proactive space for critical discussion of the issues around information, society and justice. It focuses on a diverse range of issues including - but not limited to - development, equality, human rights, inclusion, justice, liberation and democracy.
ISJ publishes original research, including work in progress. It also publishes debates, reflections, book/film reviews, reports and briefings on varied issues and from and diverse range of institutions and individuals. It is not limited to any one disciplinary perspective and will accept contributions from academics, policy practitioners and activists. Submissions should be clearly written and devoid of discriminatory language.
Each issue of ISJ contains a combination of articles, debates, reflections, briefings and book/film reviews. Articles are extended work seeking to engage intellectual theory and/or policy discourses; they are often informed by empirical evidence. Debates and Reflections are shorter pieces dealing with controversial issues, and seeking to provoke or compound existing paradigms and debates. Briefings cover topical and informative matters which deserve to be placed in the public domain. ISJ also carries Think pieces - such as poetry and fiction - in so far as they provoke, engage or promote intellectual and policy debates in themes of relevance to the Journal.
