Published: Quarterly
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
