Call for Papers:

International Journal of Information Ethics (IJIE)

Special issue: Search Engines

 

Introduction
 

Search engines are the most used online services in the WWW. Since their
first development in the midst of the 1990's they have become the most
important tools for the majority of Internet users. The advantage of using
search engines is that great, that there is almost no discussion about their
moral dimension, although recent studies pointed out some problems (i.e.
Machill et al. 2003). The forthcoming special issue of the IJIE should help
to close this gap.

 

Possible Topics
 

Please regard the following list as a mere suggestion.

 

1. Transparency

2. Filtering and (self-imposed) Censorship

3. Spamming and Manipulating

4. Next Generation and Alternatives

 

The Rules of the Game
 

Potential authors have to provide an extended abstract (max. 1500 words)
until 31/01/2005 . The abstract should be written in the mother tongue of
the author. An English translation of this abstract has to be included, if
the chosen language is not English or German. The IJIE will publish articles
in German, English, Spanish, French or Portuguese.

 

The abstracts will be selected by members of the editorial board of the
IJIE. The authors will be informed at latest until 29/02/2005.

 

All articles will be peer-reviewed. Deadline for submitting full text is
