Community Informatics (CI) is the study and the practice of enabling communities with Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs). CI seeks to work with communities towards the effective use of ICTs to improve their processes, achieve their objectives, overcome the "digital divides" that exist both within and between communities, and empower communities and citizens in the range of areas of ICT application including for health, cultural production, civic management, and e-governance, among others. Publishing online, open-access since 2004, _The Journal of Community Informatics_ speaks to a network of academics, CI practitioners, and national and multi-lateral policy makers. Each issue will contain a number of double-blind peer-reviewed research articles as well as commentaries by leading CI practitioners and policy makers providing feedback on the significance and application of research for practice and policy development.
