The International Journal of Actor-Network Theory and Technological Innovation (IJANTTI) publishes research articles covering a wide range of topics related to Actor-Network Theory (ANT) and its use as a means of exploring socio-technical phenomena. An important goal for the journal is to facilitate publication of the body of research relating to the use of Actor-Network Theory as a means of understanding various socio-technical phenomena and providing examples and case studies of technological innovation. The journal facilitates the distribution of a wide range of research of this type. Much, but not all, of this research relates to the implementation and use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), as these inevitably involve interactions between technology and people. This is the area in which ANT is particularly useful and articles along these lines are encouraged. Other areas of special interest are the use of ANT as an analytical framework for research in education and in nursing. This journal covers a range of topics related to ANT. These topics 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 also includes topics relating to technological innovation, both those using ANT as an explanatory framework and those using other approaches.

The mission of the International Journal of Actor-Network Theory and Technological Innovation (IJANTTI) is to provide a forum for general discussion of actor-network theory (ANT) and examine examples of its use in offering explanations for various socio-technical phenomena. The journal covers a wide range of topics related to actor-network theory, including those dealing with 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. The journal publishes articles that discuss topics relating to technological innovation, both those using actor-network theory as an explanatory framework and those using other approaches. Of particular interest is topics related to Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). It has been more than 25 years 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. Other areas of particular interest are the use of ANT as an analytical framework for research into aspects of education and nursing. Thus, the main goal of this journal is 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.
Coverage:
- Analytical case studies of the use of ANT for investigating technological applications in various areas including ICT, education, healthcare, and many others
- Case studies, involving ANT or other analytical frameworks, of technological innovation, and the implementation and use of information and communication technologies and other 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

- Digital tools used to support the manuscript management and review process
- Typesetting, formatting and layout
- Online hosting
- Submission of the journal's content to numerous abstracts, directories, and indexes
- Third-party software (e.g. plagiarism checks)
- Editorial support which includes manuscript tracking, communications, submission guideline checks, and communications with authors and reviewers
- All promotional support and activities which include metadata distribution, press releases, promotional communications, web content, ads, fliers, brochures, postcards, etc. for the journal and its published contents
- The fact that all published articles will be freely accessible and able to be posted and disseminated widely by
the authors - Professional line-by-line English language copy editing and proofreading*
*This service is only performed on article manuscripts with fully paid (not discounted or waived) APC fees.
APC Subsidizing and Funding
To assist researchers in covering the costs of the APC in OA publishing, there are various sources of OA funding.
