细分领域
As stated in the aim and scope (revised in 2018), Telecommunications Policy is concerned with the impact of digitalization in the economy and society. The journal is multidisciplinary, encompassing conceptual, theoretical and empirical studies, quantitative as well as qualitative. The scope includes policy, regulation, and governance; big data, artificial intelligence and data science; new and traditional sectors encompassing new media and the platform economy; management, entrepreneurship, innovation and use. Contributions may explore these topics at national, regional and international levels, including issues confronting both developed and developing countries. The papers accepted by the journal meet high standards of analytical rigor and policy relevance.
This aim and scope of the journal both reflects the publication history of Telecommunications Policy, as well as the need to evolve and develop the journal. Reflecting the updated scope, the subtitle of the journal was revised to be The International Journal of Digital Economy, Data Sciences and New Media.
To further develop the research agenda and policy relevance of the journal, this call for papers now solicits papers that review the research literature on an important topic and identify pending and open questions. Paper could critically document theoretical, empirical, or methodological perspectives or they could try to integrate these as relevant for a specific topic. The papers should preferably both include a retrospective and prospective analysis, with implications for the future development of the journal. It will be important to address future research and policy needs.
