Policy & Internet (P&I) is a leading interdisciplinary journal exploring the societal implications of digital technologies and responses from governments, industry, communities and individuals.
We publish work that engages with long-standing concerns—such as digital divides, privacy, access to information and freedom of expression—and rapidly evolving issues including digital geopolitics, misinformation, algorithmic decision-making, online harms and oligarchies.
We prioritise original research examining how the Internet and digital technologies reshape power, participation, governance and everyday life. This includes research on both emerging and established technologies alike, including social media, artificial intelligence, extended reality (AR/VR), the Internet of Things, blockchain and cryptocurrencies, as well as the infrastructures and institutions that sustain them.
We value theoretical innovation, empirical rigour and methodological diversity.
We invite interdisciplinary work that deepens understanding of digital futures and the social, ethical, and political choices that shape them, including political science, sociology, communication, science and technology studies and more.
