Foco e Escopo

The P2P & INOVAÇÃO Journal - Information and Digital Platforms (P2P & I2PD) is an international open access academic journal, focused on the relationship between digital technology, innovation, economy and society.

P2P & I2PD's editorial vision draws on innovative practices and cutting-edge international research and publications to outline an emerging field of study in the social sciences that is expected to grow reflexively as technologies and society evolve.

P2P & I2PD publishes high-quality original research in all areas of social sciences that interact with digital issues. Social sciences are thus broadly defined to include, among others, information, communication, sociology, data science, computing, artificial intelligence, education, gender studies, law, economics and history. We welcome contributions from neighboring fields of research if they are relevant to a social science audience.

We encourage interdisciplinary submissions that focus on theoretical and/or methodological issues. The journal is open to a diversity of theoretical and methodological paradigms, especially valuing innovative approaches. As digital issues transcend borders, P2P & I2PD prioritizes submissions that are of international interest and relevance.

Specific topics of interest include: science and technology policies; open science; innovation policies and practices; intellectual property; digital technologies and artificial intelligence; digital platforms; regulation and supervision of the uses of digital technologies; human rights and digital technologies; innovative organizational studies and information management; political economy of information and communication; solidarity economy; environment and sustainable development.

We foster open access and sharing of research on the social properties of information and innovation as they manifest themselves through people's uses of digital technologies, past and present.

P2P & I2PD is associated with the Brazilian Collaborative Economies and P2P Production Research Group (linked to the Brazilian Institute of Information in Science and Technology – IBICT) and NetLab.UFRJ (Internet and Social Network Studies Laboratory of the School of Communication of Federal University of Rio de Janeiro). The Brazilian Collaborative Economies and P2P Production Research Group and Netlab.UFRJ bring together researchers from all areas of social sciences interested in discussing digital technologies, innovations and social changes.
