Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW): 
An International Journal

Call for Papers
===============

This new international journal is devoted to innovative research in 
Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW). It provides an 
interdisciplinary forum for the debate and exchange of ideas 
concerning theoretical, practical, technical and social issues in 
CSCW. 

The journal is intended to become the major international source for 
reporting innovative contributions to CSCW. Interest and work in CSCW 
is anticipated to grow even further over the next decade, drawing from
 and influencing in turn a wide variety of areas in the computing and 
social sciences. This journal intends to be at the forefront of these 
developments, publishing work which clearly exemplifies the important 
new challenges that many of us are facing in analyzing and designing 
for contemporary and future workplaces.

CSCW is a complex field of research. While most workers in the field 
would regard it as some kind of combination of computing and social 
science, its definition is not yet settled. Accordingly, the journal 
does not side a priori with any particular definition of CSCW. The 
definition and redefinition of CSCW is an ongoing process and one 
which this journal is intended to reflect. 

Like any emergent interdiscplinary field, there is both confusion and 
excitement about the fundamentals of the research. The journal wishes 
to recognize all of these aspects. However, we are insistent that 
contributions to this journal demonstrate that they are distinctively 
CSCW and belong here. We want to encourage contributions which are 
mindful of the relations between social scientific studies of 
cooperative work and the computing support requirements of cooperative
 work. We would urge social scientists who have made a study of a 
workgroup to spell out clearly what the implications of their findings
 are for design of appropriate computer support. Equally, we would 
urge a computer scientist reporting on a technological innovation in, 
say, meeting room support to spell out clearly how this work is 
motivated by studies of meetings or what new studies of meetings it 
suggests. We do not mean to be excessively strict here but we do feel 
that it is important that an apartheid between the social and computer
 science aspects of CSCW should be avoided. 

If you have strong, novel work, clearly related to CSCW, that you wish
 to have published, send it to us! We believe we have an editorial 
team of established workers in the field together with a strong, 
international, multidisciplinary advisory board and a network of 
referees who, collectively, can give a sympathetic reading to work no 
matter how orthodox or unusual its perspective. 

We welcome reports on new work, review articles, and responses and 
rejoinders to previously published articles. In due course, we hope to
 introduce book reviews to the journal and, possibly, short notices, 
conference reports and letters. We welcome your comments on these and 
other future possibilities for the journal. It is important that the 
journal format reflects the kinds of contributions CSCW researchers 
want to make. Your advice, proposed contributions and feedback on what
 you have seen in the journal is important for this.

In addition to individually contributed articles, the editors are keen
 to delegate editorial duties to a guest editor (or editors) for 
special issues on a specific subject of interest within CSCW. We are 
already making preparations for some special issues but if you have a 
proposal for a special issue, please contact us with a topic, a 
preliminary outline and a list of potential contributors. We would be 
pleased to help you.
