As many ISPR members and ISPR Presence News readers know, we’ve been working for a long time toward the creation of a new journal focused on presence, an open access journal with no publication charges that is open to a wide variety of interdisciplinary presence-related topics, research methods, and presentation formats. We’re not quite ready for an official roll-out but you can now visit the website of ISPR’s International Journal of Telepresence (IJT) at https://ijtelepresence.org. There you’ll find not only the detailed Call for Submissions (excerpted below) but two excellent initial published articles by our colleagues (direct links below). The journal site will be closely linked to the ISPR website and highlighted at the top of each ISPR Presence News post. We consider IJT your journal, so we welcome your feedback and suggestions as well as your involvement as author, reviewer and in any other role(s) in which you’d like to contribute. Please check out the website, especially the new articles, and e-mail us at ijtelepresence@gmail.com with your feedback and ideas. And stay tuned for the official launch in the days and weeks ahead!
