MISSION:
IJGCMS publishes research articles, theoretical critiques, and book reviews related to the development and evaluation of games and computer-mediated simulations. One main goal of this peer-reviewed, international journal is to promote a deep conceptual and empirical understanding of the roles of electronic games and computer-mediated simulations across multiple disciplines. A second goal is to help build a significant bridge between research and practice on electronic gaming and simulations, supporting the work of researchers, practitioners, and policymakers.

RECOMMENDED TOPICS:
Recommended topics include but are not limited to:
- Electronic games and simulations in teaching and learning
- Electronic games and simulations in government, business, and the workforce
- Psychological aspects of gaming
- Cognitive, social, and emotional impact of games and simulations
- Innovative and current research methods and methodologies to study electronic games and simulations
- Current and future trends, technologies, and strategies related to game and/or simulation development and/or implementation
- Frameworks to understand the societal or cultural impacts of games and simulations
- The impact of game and simulation development and/or use on race and/or gender game and simulation design
- The teaching of games and simulations at multiple age and grade levels
- Critical reviews and meta-analyses of existing game and simulation literature
