Platforms & Society
Platforms & Society hosts critical social science and humanities research on platforms and platformization, examining their impacts on and embeddedness in economies, cultures, and institutions around the world.
The journal welcomes intersectional, cross-disciplinary, and geographically diverse perspectives on platformization and the dynamic relationship between platforms and societies. Accordingly, it provides a space where the leading theories, methodologies, and cartographies of platform research can be debated, where overlooked practices and approaches can be spotlighted, and where innovative research agendas are developed.
Platforms & Society is open to a range of critical approaches that include and combine insights from various fields, including media and communication studies, organization studies, sociology, anthropology, cultural studies, industrial relations and labor studies, human geography, urban studies, information science, management studies, law, political economy, political science, regional/area studies, and science & technology studies.
Platforms & Society is an open-access, digital-only journal that welcomes theoretical, empirical, as well as arts-based and policy-oriented contributions. It accommodates a variety of formats, from research articles and commentaries to maps, drawings, and multimedia narratives.
