Description

The International Journal of Actor-Network Theory and Technological Innovation (IJANTTI) covers a range of topics related to actor-network theory (ANT) and its use as a means of exploring socio-technical phenomena relating to the implementation and use of information and communication technologies (ICT). In recent years the ICT research community has begun to discover the power of using ANT as an explanatory framework for many of the things in which it is interested, and the journal will facilitate the distribution of research in this area. ICT inevitably involve interactions between technology and people, and this is the area in which ANT is particularly useful. An important goal of this journal is to facilitate publication of the body of research relating to the use of actor-network theory as a means of understanding socio-technical phenomena and technological innovation.

Mission

The mission of the International Journal of Actor-Network Theory and Technological Innovation (IJANTTI) is to provide a forum for both general discussion of actor-network theory (ANT), and examples of its use in offering explanations for socio-technical phenomena, particularly those related to Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). It is over twenty years now since Latour, Callon, and Law put together their ideas and concepts in the first papers on ANT, but for some time ANT was regarded by many as little more than a curiosity. In recent years however, the ICT research community has begun to discover the power of using ANT as an explanatory framework for many of the things in which it is interested. Implementation and use of information and communication technologies inevitably involves the interactions of both technology and people, and this is the area in which ANT is particularly useful. The main goal of this journal will be to facilitate international growth in the body of research investigating the value of using actor-network theory as a means of understanding socio-technical phenomena and technological innovation.

Reviews and Testimonials

"Things are always changing and actor-networks act as a strong paradigm to explore and take advantage of these changes. With ANT we can act and anticipate action in social spaces, organizational contexts, as well as in deeply technological settings. IJANTTI is a brave experience, the only consistent experience in this field and I'm sure it will be more and more an inevitable reference paper."
- Dr. José Figueiredo, Technical University of Lisbon, Portugal

Topics Covered

This journal will cover a range of topics related to actor-network theory (ANT). These topics will include the development of actor-network theory itself, as well as case studies of its use to assist in the explanation of various socio-technical phenomena. It will also include topics relating to technological innovation; both those using actor-network theory as an explanatory framework and those using other approaches. Possible topics include, but are not restricted to:

  • Analytical case studies of the use of ANT to investigate the implementation and use of information and communication technologies
  • Analytical case studies of the use of ANT for investigating technological applications in various other areas
  • Case studies, involving ANT or other analytical frameworks, of technological innovation, and the implementation and use of information and communication technologies
  • Comparison of the various different approaches to framing technological innovation
  • Descriptions of ANT research methods, and the conduct of ANT research
  • Development, evaluations, criticisms, and triumphs of ANT
  • Innovation translation as an approach to explaining technological innovation
  • Other approaches to the explanation of technological innovation, including innovation diffusion, the technology acceptance model, and ecological models of innovation
  • Other papers relating to examples of technological innovation
  • Proposals of analytical frameworks that build on, and go beyond ANT
  • Use of ANT in the investigation of historical examples of technological innovation

Editor(s)-in-Chief Biography

Arthur Tatnall
Arthur Tatnall is an Associate Professor in the Graduate School of Business at Victoria University in Melbourne, Australia. In his PhD he used actor-network theory to investigate adoption of Visual Basic in the curriculum of an Australian university. Arthur’s research interests include technological innovation, history of technology, project management, information systems curriculum, information technology in educational management and electronic business. Much of his research is based on the use of actor-network theory. Arthur is a Fellow of the Australian Computer Society and active in the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) as Chair of IFIP WG9.7 – History of Computing, Chair of IFIP WG3.4 – ICT in Professional and Vocational Education and a member of IFIP WG3.7 – Information Technology in Educational Management. He has published widely in journals, books, book chapters and conference proceedings and recently edited the Encyclopaedia of Portal Technology and Applications and Web Technologies: Concepts, Methodologies, Tools and Applications for IGI Global. Arthur is also Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Actor-Network Theory and Technological Innovation, Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Education and Information Technologies and Editor of the Journal of Business Systems, Governance and Ethics.
