Founded in 1999, the Association of Internet Researchers (AoIR) is a learned society dedicated to the advancement of the transdisciplinary field of Internet studies. It is an international, member-based support network promoting critical and scholarly Internet research, independent from traditional disciplines and existing across academic borders. AoIR was formally founded on May 30, 1999, at a meeting of nearly sixty scholars at the San Francisco Hilton and Towers, following initial discussions at a 1998 conference at Drake University entitled "The World Wide Web and Contemporary Cultural Theory: Metaphor, Magic & Power." As the ''Chronicle of Higher Education'' noted, its rapid growth during the first few years of its existence marked the coming of age of Internet studies. It has continued to grow, with a membership of approximately 400 scholars. It supports AIR-L, a mailing list with over 5,000 subscribers. AoIR holds an annual academic conference, as well as promoting online discussion and collaboration through a long-running mailing list, and other venues. ==Activities== The Association supports scholarly communication in a number of ways: * It organizes an annual, peer-reviewed scholarly conference, which accepts paper and presentation submissions from all disciplines. * It hosts the AIR-L mailing list with over 5000 subscribers. * It has published multiple editions of the Internet Research Annual with Peter Lang * It hosts working groups that produce reports of interest to researches in the field, most notably the ''AoIR Guide on Ethical Online Research''. * It co-sponsors an annual issue of the journal Information, Communication and Society consisting of top papers from the annual conference. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Association of Internet Researchers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
