  • Aims and scope

    First Monday is one of the first openly accessible peer review journals solely on the Internet, about the Internet. 

    First Monday publishes original research papers about the Internet and related technologies. 

    First Monday publishes articles on all aspects of the Internet, including comments on trends and standards, technical issues, political and social implications of the Internet, and educational uses. Its focus is simply on interesting and novel ideas related to the history, current use, and future of the Internet.


  • Profile

    First Monday was born in the summer of 1995 in a proposal by eventual Chief Editor Edward J. Valauskas to the Danish publisher Munksgaard, to start a new Internet-only, peer-review journal about the Internet. 

    First Monday appears on the first Monday of each month. In addition, special issues may appear on the first Monday on each month or on an irregular basis.

    All of First Monday's current and archival content is available freely to anyone with Internet connectivity. Authors retain the rights to their work published in First Monday and may freely make their papers available as they see fit. Contributors to First Monday are encouraged to dedicate their work to the public domain or to select a Creative Commons license. Papers submitted to First Monday are examined by at least three reviewers for originality and timeliness in the context of related research. Reviews generally are completed in 30-60 days with publication in the next available monthly issue.

  • Indexing

    First Monday is indexed in Communication Abstracts, Computer & Communications Security Abstracts, DoIS, eGranary Digital Library, INSPEC, Information Science & Technology Abstracts, LISA, PAIS, and other services.

  • Guide to authors

    Style Guidelines

    For general Internet writing style and usage, authors are encouraged to consult Wired Style: Principles of English Usage in the Digital Age, edited by Constance Hale (San Francisco: HardWired, 1996).
    For First Monday’s editorial purposes, please adhere to these style guidelines when referencing the following:

    Acronyms
    Explain each and every first occurrence.
    For example, state World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), allowing the use of WIPO later in the manuscript.

    Dates
    Dates should appear in date–month–year format, as in "The first issue of First Monday appeared on Monday, 6 May 1996."

    Electronic Mail
    Refer to electronic mail as e–mail or E–mail but not email or Email.

    Internet
    The Internet should be called the Internet, not the internet, the net, the Net, or the ’Net.

    Numbers
    The numbers zero through nine should be spelled out except when referring to data or measurements, such as "The figure measures 3 pixels by 2 pixels ...."
    All whole numbers above nine should appear as Arabic numerals, such as 10, 11, 12,....
    Ordinal numbers should be spelled out, as in twentieth.
    A number at the start of a sentence should be spelled out, as in " Fourteen search engines were examined .... "

    Percentages
    Write percent, not %.

    Person
    Favor the use of the second–person pronoun, you, over the indefinite third–person singular pronoun, one.
    Do not assume that the pronoun for a third–person singular noun is him or he. To avoid awkward constructions like he/she, revise sentences.

    Tables & Figures
    Capitalize all references to your own tables and figures, such as "see Figure 1" or "see Table 2 below".
    Always spell out the words Figure or Table in reference to illustrations in the course of the paper.
    Use lower case for references to figures or tables in cited literature, such as (Kokomo, 1999, figure 8) or (Dolton, 1968, table 5).

    Verb Tense
    Choose a verb tense and maintain its use throughout the document. Carefully consider use of the future tense, as often it is unnecessary.
    In discussions of the literature, use the past tense, as in "Valauskas (1990) remarked that ... ."

    World Wide Web
    Use the Web or the World Wide Web but not the web.
