International Journal of Web Based Communities (IJWBC)

摘要

The IJWBC is a peer-reviewed scientific journal. It offers state of the art to practitioners such as communication managers, officers of public information services, web masters and of course those who are responsible for online communities. Its mission is to publish and integrate scientific results and act as a catalyst to the rapidly developing culture of web communities. It is increasingly important for our culture to bring people together and to promote dynamics in professional organisations, mutual understanding, learning and harmony. Creating 'virtual communities' is one major way to do this. The IJWBC will publish scientifically proven methods on how to organise and moderate WWW-based communities. These communities do not limit participants to particular locations - the international and multicultural dimension is a most challenging one. Good WWW communities undergo a continuous evolution and adapt to the changing world. The nature of these communities can be corporate, scientific, social or educational.
