nb!ict is an interdisciplinary journal focusing on interrelationships between technology developments in the ICT field and economic, political and other social developments. Published papers will be concerned with technology in context of economic, political and other social developments as well as implications of ICTs for broader societal developments. Analysis will consider both demand-side and supply-side issues of ICT hardware, software, applications, services and content.

Although primarily concerned with issues pertaining to the Nordic and Baltic Sea region, nb!ict will also consider papers that only indirectly relate to Nordic and Baltic Sea developments for publication. Authors from outside the Nordic and Baltic Sea region are encouraged to submit their work and we also hope to develop our readership outside this region.

Two main types of papers and articles are featured in the nb!ict journal. The first are academic papers (theoretical, empirical and analytical), the second are journalistic articles, interviews, reviews, etc. The intention is to reach beyond an academic only audience to attract also readers from industry and from policymaking and regulatory institutions. The vision for nb!ict is to establish a platform for cross-fertilisation across the different sectors. This will be achieved by exploring similarities and complementarities between the Nordic and Baltic Sea countries, and further through examining synergies between the different communities from academia, industry and policy and regulatory institutions.

Papers submitted to the academic portion of the journal will be double-blind peer-reviewed in the traditional academic manner. Journalistic articles, interviews, reviews, etc., submitted by the editors, free-lance journalists, private sector stakeholders, members of NGOs, etc., will not be peer-reviewed, but will be subject to editorial review.

Manuscripts should be submitted via e-mail to henten@cmi.aau.dk. Authors should follow the nb!ict manuscript format and act in accordance with the nb!ict copyright policy. Please refer to the instructions for authors and nb!ict copyright policy for more information on submitting and publishing manuscripts in nb!ict.
