Welcome to the International Digital Media and Arts Association Journal. This journal represents a response to the need of an emerging field - a field that involves many different disciplines and emerging areas of study.
Across the worldwide academic scene digital media and arts activities, including new degree programs, have been steadily appearing since the mid 1990s. Most of these efforts and programs have emerged from disciplines such as television and film, art,graphic design, theater, communication studies, architecture, computer science, journalism, information sciences, music, gaming, and many others. Interest is high and growing. Students are enrolling, and in many situations faculty are searching for collegial reference points or networks essential to developing their scholarly work.
The purpose of the iDMAa is to promote the development, application, and understanding of digital media and arts. The purpose of the iDMAa Journal is to promote those efforts, providing a forum where scholars and practitioners can converse about the many issues, challenges, and new developments that are shaping our increasingly digital world.
Articles and other works on digital media and arts are welcome at any time. An abstract of not more than one page should be submitted to the editor via email to
Upon review, authors will be advised of acceptance into either the invited or the refereed section of the Journal. While the length/type of submissions will vary from issue to issue, written articles will generally be 1500-4000 words. Any author preferring a peer review will automatically have the submission considered for the refereed section of the Journal.
While the Journal will appear in electronic format normally, at least one print version will be published per year. All new journals evolve, and the iDMAa Journal is no exception.
