Testimonials

"Like few other journals, ITP stresses the interaction between technology and people (true to its title), thus giving room for interactive work. Further, as a result of this interactive nature, ITP has a high level of relevance, without sacrificing academic rigor. The journal strikes an excellent balance here. For its readers, ITP articles are thus a good source of academic material for their own writing, as well as informative in shaping managerial thinking about information technology. "
Professor Christian Wagner, Department of Information Systems, City University of Hong Kong.

Exploring the ethics of Social Networking Sites
Emerald journal Information Technology & People has published new research that explores the ethical responsibility of Social Networking Sites (SNS) such as Facebook. In a paper entitled “Ethics and Social Networking Sites: A Disclosive Analysis of Facebook”, researchers explain that considering the moral codes inscribed in technology, in addition to the moral behaviour of users, allows us to raise some of the ethical concerns surrounding the lack of transparency in SNS.

Can social media play a role in education?
For over three-quarters of 12-17 year-olds using social media, online networking is now the main out-of-school computer activity. But, despite media reports linking the use of Facebook to lower grades, few studies have investigated the learning and social practices of young people. The new special issue of On the Horizon, entitled “Online social networking as a site for learning”, explores young people’s learning, collaboration, and creativity with social media across a range of educational settings and related issues. www.emeraldinsight.com/oth.htm
