The International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (ijCSCL)
The International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (ijCSCL) was founded in 2006 to provide a venue for publication of leading papers on CSCL research. I co-founded the journal with Friedrich Hesse, the director of the Knowledge Media Research Center in Tuebingen, Germany, and with a Board of Editors including about 40 leading CSCL and CSCW researchers from around the world. The journal is published quarterly by Springer, sponsored by the International Society of the Learning Sciences.
ISI Web of Science (now part of Thomson Reuters) selected ijCSCL for coverage in its products and services. Beginning with Vol. 3 (1) 2008, ijCSCL is now being indexed and abstracted in:
