Peer Review Sections

  • Social impact. The Internet is a social integral part of modern daily life. The authors may comment on (review), or show in original work (research), these aspects in relation to education, communication, collaboration, business, entertainment and society as a whole.
  • Personalization and New Tools. The Internet is used by individuals. Fundamental rights such as privacy, security, personalization of Internet tools, transparency, and data traffic are topics to be discussed from an original (research) standpoint. New software tools may also fit this scope.
  • Reviews of available Mozilla Tools. Critical reviews of tools made available by members in the Mozilla landscape, especially in relation to other compatible tools will give valuable feedback in relation to Mozilla’s mission statement(s).
  • Commercial involvement. Companies are hereby invited to give their view, research and involvement in the development of the Internet. The authors may not have to agree with the Mozilla Manifesto, a healthy dialogue between different approaches may give new insights in the metrics of the Internet.
  • Shorts. No not the pants! We mean very short original opinions which fit into the mission statement of the magazine in the form of a 1-2 frame comic, original artwork, letters, photo’s (with caption), videos/cartoon (max. 10 sec, for Internet publishing only), or code (keep it short and simple).
