Convergence (Convergence)

Convergence: The International Journal of Research into New Media Technologies is a high‑impact, peer‑reviewed academic journal published six times a year by SAGE Publications. Established in 1995 at a time when digital and interactive media were emerging as transformative forces, Convergence has been at the forefront of scholarship that interrogates how new media technologies — from the internet and mobile platforms to social networking, gaming environments, extended realities and algorithmic systems — integrate with social, cultural, political, and creative life. The journal adopts a deeply interdisciplinary approach linking media studies, communication theory, cultural studies, sociology, and critical technology studies to explore the convergent dynamics of media production, consumption and regulation in a globalized digital world. Its pages feature research articles, theoretical essays, and critical dialogues that examine the shaping influence of digital networks on identity, community formation, online participation, cultural labor, power relations and political engagement. Convergence is indexed in major scholarly databases, including Scopus and the Social Sciences Citation Index, and consistently ranks in the Q1 category for Communication and Arts & Humanities, reflecting its strong influence within media research. With editors drawn from leading universities and a commitment to rigorous peer review, Convergence remains a central platform for scholars seeking to understand the evolving relationship between media technologies and society in an era of ubiquitous digital connectivity.
