    First Monday – Covers communication issues on the internet such as censorship and digital media distribution.

    International Free and Open Source Software Law Review – Covers legal proceedings related to open source software.

    International Journal of U- and E- Service, Science, and Technology – Covers a variety of topics including business, education, government, and healthcare.
