A leading Q1 interdisciplinary journal, Policy & Internet explores the social implications of digital technologies and the diverse responses of governments, industries, communities, and individuals around the world.

Established at the University of Oxford in 2009, the journal relocated to the University of Sydney in 2021 under the leadership of Associate Professor Jonathon Hutchinson. Under Hutchinson’s guidance, the journal has significantly expanded its quality, reach and impact—growing from an impact factor of 1.9 in 2019 to 4.1 in 2024.

While Hutchinson will continue to contribute to the journal’s strategic direction as part of the editorial team, the role of Editor-in-Chief will now be held by Dr. Joanne Gray. Gray, who has served as Commissioning Editor since 2022, brings to the position deep expertise in digital technology policy and governance. She will be joined by Millica Sililinovic, who steps into the role of Senior Editor, and two new Regional Editors: Professor Admire Mare (University of Johannesburg), covering the African region, and Nadia Tjahja (United Nations University-CRIS, Belgium), covering Europe.
