Online - Heidelberg Journal of Religions on the Internet

online is an international open-access, peer-reviewed academic journal published by the Institute of Religious Studies at the University of Heidelberg (Germany).

online is committed to promoting and (theoretically and methodically) advancing scientific research at the interface between religion and the internet.

online welcomes submissions from all academic disciplines and perspectives (e.g. Religious Studies, Social Studies, Cultural Studies, Media Studies, Theology, Anthropology, etc.) focussing on general and specific issues of religions and new digital media.

online expects authors to present their research in terms of relevant theoretical and / or methodological discussions and to be of interest to a wide, but mainly academic audience in a manner intelligible not only to specialists.

online explicitely encourages authors to also write and submit reviews of new and important books that deal with topics relevant for the journal’s scopes.
