Abstract
The Editor-in-Chief is delighted to announce the inaugural issue of the International Journal of Interactive Communication Systems and Technologies (IJICST), a new peer-reviewed journal which focuses on a broad spectrum of existing and emerging Internet-based technologies, their applications, functions, and services. This new journal brings together international experts from diverse academic disciplines and fields: communication science, media studies, public relations, advertising and marketing, business and economics, information management and systems, library and information science, knowledge management, computer science, law, psychology, anthropology, sociology, and education. The articles that compose the inaugural issue of IJICST explore the various dimensions of interactivity and the functions technology-enabled interactions perform in (a) engaging audiences in participatory democratic practices, (b) facilitating online information credibility, transparency and identification, (c) implementing effective e-learning, and (d) enabling information sharing and professional development in academia.
