Virtual Worlds News reports
that an alliance of metaversally
focused scholars is poised to launch a new academic publication
called the Journal of Virtual
Worlds Research, an “online, open access, peer-reviewed,
transdisciplinary, academic journal, which engages established and
emerging scholars from anywhere in the world.” 
The new site should serve as a nice complement to the already invaluable Terra Nova, a blog by committee of industry experts that has been been discussing the MMOG and Virtual World terrain for some time now, and the increasingly valuable Virtual Worlds News which does a great job reporting the most ground-breaking metaverse industry items.
The Journal of Virtual Worlds has put out a call for papers related (but not limited) to the following topics:
- development of new metaphors for visualizing and interacting
effectively with rich information spaces
- governance and taxation diversity
- methodologies of research in virtual worlds
- education in virtual worlds, virtual worlds in education, virtual
worlds in the classroom, virtual worlds as pedagogical tools,
curriculum in virtual worlds
