About Surveillance & Society
The Editors
Acknowledgements
There is a lot of change going on at Surveillance & Society
First of all, we have established the Surveillance Studies Network, a new charitable international initiative to bring surveillance studies to wider attention, within academia and beyond. SSN will own and manage Surveillance & Society as one of its activities. We share a joint Network and Editorial Board (see below). Soon anyone will be able to get involved in SSN - watch this space...
Surveillance & Society itself is going to change too:
- we will be moving to an open-source journal management system that will make it far easier to conduct the submission and refereeing process.
- Whilst we will keep publishing in recognisable 'issues', we are going to move away from the traditional 'volume' approach of most paper journals, instead having a more simple issue numbering system.
However we will remain true to our principles:
Surveillance & Society exists to:
encourage understanding of approaches to surveillance in different academic disciplines;
publish innovative and transdisciplinary work on surveillance;
promote understanding of surveillance in wider society;
encourage debate and dissent.
Surveillance & Society will be the premier journal of surveillance studies.
Surveillance & Society will present fully-refereed academic work of the highest quality.
Surveillance & Society is an electronic journal, free to all
Surveillance & Society is online for maximum accessibility, and because we hope to encourage submissions that could not be published in conventional paper journals such as photographic and video work. All submissions will be fully peer-reviewed to the most rigorous quality standards.
Our ISSN number is: 1477-7487

Being reconstituted - coming soon
The Editors would like to thank Newcastle Univesity's Arts & Humanities Research Fund and Faculty of Law Environment and Social Sciences Innovation Fund for providing initial funding. We would also like to thank all those who contributed to the discussion about a possible journal at the UK Economic and Social Research Council Surveillance and Society Conference in 2000, at the University of Hull.

Affiliations and Indexing
Surveillance & Society is a member of the International Consortium for the Advancement of Academic Publishing (ICAAP), the Directory of Open-Access Journals (DOAJ), and is indexed by the International Bibliography of the Social Sciences (IBSS). We are not yet indexed by Thomson ISI (Web Of Knowledge) and may never be as they have a systems of chosing journals to index which is biased against non-publisher backed journals like us.
Rejection Rates
Surveillance & Society does not support the trend towards measuring academic and scientific credibility through business-derived metrics. However, for those of you who are forced by your institutions to take note of such things:
For Volume 4 (2006-7):
44% of initial submissions were eventually published (3% with no major changes, 22% with revisions, and 19% resubmissions)
56% of intitial submissions were not published (14% rejected by editors because of obvious lack of quality or inappropriate choice of journal; 37% rejected by referees; and 5% did not resubmit)
