Call for Papers:
The Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Gaming and Computer-Mediated Simulations (IJGCMS) would like to invite you to consider submitting a manuscript for inclusion in this scholarly journal. The following describes the mission, the coverage, and the guidelines for submission to IJGCMS.
Mission
The International Journal of Gaming and Computer-Mediated Simulations (IJGCMS) publishes research articles, theoretical critiques, and book reviews related to the development and evaluation of games and computer-mediated simulations. One main goal of this peer-reviewed, international journal is to promote a deep conceptual and empirical understanding of the roles of electronic games and computer-mediated simulations across multiple disciplines. A second goal is to help build a significant bridge between research and practice on electronic gaming and simulations, supporting the work of researchers, practitioners, and policymakers.
Coverage
Recommended topics include (but are not limited to) the following:
Cognitive, social, and emotional impact of games and simulations
Critical reviews and meta-analyses of existing game and simulation literature
Current and future trends, technologies, and strategies related to game, simulation development, and implementation Electronic games and simulations in government, business, and the workforce
Electronic games and simulations in teaching and learning
Frameworks to understand the societal and cultural impacts of games and simulations
Impact of game and simulation development use on race and gender game and simulation design
Innovative and current research methods and methodologies to study electronic games and simulations
Psychological aspects of gaming
Teaching of games and simulations at multiple age and grade levels
