Internet Research (journal) is a computer science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Internet Research (journal) rather than just read about it. In short: Internet Research (INTR) is a peer-reviewed academic journal, published by Emerald Publishing. It aims to describe, assess and foster understanding of the role of wide-area, multi-purpose computer networks such as the Internet.

Key takeaways

Internet Research (journal) belongs to computer science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Internet Research (journal) to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Internet Research (journal) from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Internet Research (INTR) is a peer-reviewed academic journal, published by Emerald Publishing. It aims to describe, assess and foster understanding of the role of wide-area, multi-purpose computer networks such as the Internet.

History The journal was founded as Electronic Networks in 1990, with the first articles published in 1991. Articles from 1991 onward are available online at the journal's website. In 1993 the journal was renamed Internet Research. Emerald acquired the journal from Mecklermedia in 1995. The journal received its first ever Impact Factor of 0.356 in 1997.

Editors-in-chief The current editor is Christy M. K. Cheung, Department of Finance and Decision Sciences, Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong Editors-in-chief of the journal have included:

1995–1998: John Peters, Emerald 1998–2011: David G. Schwartz, Bar-Ilan University, Israel 2011–2016: Bernard J. Jansen, The Pennsylvania State University, Qatar Computing Research Institute

Notable articles There have been several highly cited articles published in Internet Research, including the 1992 article "World‐wide web: the information universe", which is one of the first academic articles where Sir Tim Berners-Lee mentions the phrase "World-wide web".

Impact factor The journal has a 2020 impact factor of 6.773. According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal had a 2016 impact factor of 2.931, ranking it 34th out of 146 journals in the category "COMPUTER SCIENCE, INFORMATION SYSTEMS". The 2015 impact factor was 3.017, which was the highest impact factor of any Emerald journal that year.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Internet Research (journal)

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Internet Research (journal) claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In computer science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Internet Research (journal) before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Internet Research (journal) ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Internet Research (journal)

In research: Internet Research (journal) appears in computer science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Internet Research (journal) in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Internet Research (journal) is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Bimonthly journals, Computer science journals, Emerald Group Publishing academic journals, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Internet Research (journal) outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
