Journal Guide

In the context of rapid globalization and technological capacity, the world’s economies today are driven increasingly by knowledge—the expertise, skills, experience, education, understanding, awareness, perception, and other qualities required to communicate, interpret, and analyze information. New wealth is created by the application of knowledge to improve productivity—and to create new products, services, systems, and process (i.e., to innovate). The Journal of the Knowledge Economy focuses on the dynamics of the knowledge-based economy, with an emphasis on the role of knowledge creation, diffusion, and application across three economic levels: (1) the systemic 'meta' or 'macro'-level, (2) the organizational 'meso'-level, and (3) the individual 'micro'-level. The journal incorporates insights from the fields of economics, management, law, sociology, anthropology, psychology, and political science to shed new light on the evolving role of knowledge, with a particular emphasis on how innovation can be leveraged to provide solutions to complex problems and issues, including global crises in environmental sustainability, education, and economic development. Articles emphasize empirical studies, underscoring a comparative approach, and, to a lesser extent, case studies and theoretical articles. The journal balances practice/application and theory/concepts.

In the development of multimodal interfaces, this journal offers a standard reference for multidisciplinary work.
As implied by the word Interfaces rather than Interactions in the title, the journal seeks to illustrate verifiable realisations over purely theoretical musings. The journal focuses on multimodal interfaces developed with an emphasis on user-centric design. Thus, usability and architectural considerations are also key targets.

Die soziologische Fachzeitschrift 'Kölner Zeitschrift für Soziologie und Sozialpsychologie' (KZfSS) wurde 1948 durch den Kölner Soziologen Leopold von Wiese als 'Kölner Zeitschrift für Soziologie' gegründet. Sein Amtsnachfolger René König richtete sie stärker auf sozialpsychologische Themenstellungen aus, u.a. Kultursoziologie und qualitative Sozialforschung, wodurch sie ihren heutigen Namen erhielt.

Sie ist nach Umfang und Verbreitung das bei weitem bedeutendste soziologische Fachorgan im deutschen Sprachraum und berichtet umfassend über die deutsche soziologische Forschung aller Fachrichtungen und vermittelt regelmäßig Forschungsergebnisse aus vielen Ländern der Welt.

Die KZfSS verfolgt das Modell einer soziologischen Universal-Zeitschrift. Neben jährlich über 40 Aufsätzen, bei denen es sich grundsätzlich um Erstveröffentlichungen handelt, werden ausführliche Literaturberichte sowie in einem umfangreichen Rezensionsteil Besprechungen der deutschen und internationalen F
