Culture Machine
http://culturemachine.tees.ac.uk/
Culture Machine is a series of new experiments in culture and theory. In the first instance, Culture Machine will take the form of an international electronic journal, a research group, and a series of symposia. The aim of Culture Machine is to seek out and promote the most provocative of new work, and analyses of that work, in culture and theory from British and international authors. Culture Machine is particularly concerned to promote research which is engaged in the constitution of new areas of inquiry and the opening of new frontiers of cultural and theoretical activity. It is also committed to the generation of possibilities for new scholarship and research. But other than these founding aims (which are themselves, along with the very concepts of 'founding' and of 'aims', possible themes to be analysed), Culture Machine has no specific agenda, no project or programme (cultural, theoretical, political, social or ethical) it intends to see worked out in its various manifestations. Instead, Culture Machine will endeavour be to cultural studies what 'fundamental research' is to the natural sciences: open ended, non-goal orientated, exploratory and experimental in approach.
Currents in Electronic Literacy
http://www.cwrl.utexas.edu/currents/index.html
Currents in Electronic Literacy is an electronic journal for the scholarly discussion of issues pertaining to electronic literacy, widely construed. We seek to publish work addressing the use of electronic texts and technologies in reading, writing, teaching, and learning in fields including but not restricted to: literature (in English and in other languages), rhetoric and composition, languages (English, foreign, or ESL), communications, media studies, and education. We are especially interested in work that takes advantage of the hypertext possibilities afforded by our World Wide Web publication format, as well as in articles concerning the use of emergent electronic technologies. (Note: This journal is, I think, the follow-up of the Computer Writing, Rhetoric and Literature journal, formerly located at http://www.cwrl.utexas.edu/~cwrl/ but the archives of the previous version of the journal seem to have disappeared.)
Cybersociology
http://www.cybersociology.com/
Cybersociology Magazine, edited by Robin Hamman, is a new forum for the discussion of the social scientific study of cyberspace. Every few months, this e-zine will strive to publish at least two original articles dealing with cyberspace, the Internet, and online communities. Each issue will also contain book and site reviews. Although it is hoped that most of our writers will be post-graduate students, undergraduates and professional researchers are also encouraged to send articles for consideration. All submissions will have to pass through a rather gentle review process before they are accepted. Contributors don't get paid for publishing their articles and papers here, and it is hoped that readers will make publishing here worth their effort by sending comments and suggestions to the authors. (Note: Defunct since 1999, but archives still online.)

Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication
http://www.ascusc.org/jcmc/
Articles submitted to JCMC should make a contribution to knowledge in the field of computer mediated communication. No one discipline, and no single methodology is viewed as inherently superior. Research based in any of the social sciences is welcome.

Reviews, synthesis, and meta- analyses of prior research are also welcome. In all cases, the implications for future work should be discussed. Rigorous argumentation and presentation are expected. The use of abstracts, introduction and conclusion sections is encouraged. However, authors are encouraged to venture into using the wider bandwidth and removal of linearity constraints made available by JCMC's format. Innovative forms of expressing research, and/or linking members of the scientific community, are welcome.

M/C - Journal of Media and Culture
http://www.media-culture.org.au/
M/C is a journal of media and culture, created at the University of Queensland, Australia, and published electronically on the Web, but like the Net it is neither fully academic writing nor entirely popular culture; similarly, we are neither exclusively covering Internet-related topics nor ignoring them altogether. Put positively, we are concerned with the goings-on in today's media and culture environments, whatever form they take, and add our own observations to the cauldron of opinions that is the Net."

http://www.ibiblio.org/nmediac/
NMEDIAC has adopted the mission of publishing peer-reviewed papers and audiovisual pieces which contextualize encoding/decoding environments and the discourses, ideologies, and human experiences/uses of new media apparatuses. In relation to previous work, NMEDIAC will provide an intellectual canvas where the cultural spaces and experiences of new media are theorized and rigorously explored within both global and local contingencies of the present and past. Therefore, in particular, we will publish articles that take Cultural Studies and 'critical Internet Studies' approaches to analyzing new media. Work that incorporates either or both humanities and social science approaches to scholarship are welcome.

Presence
http://mitpress.mit.edu/catalog/item/default.asp?ttype=4&tid=37
The first journal for serious investigators of teleoperators and virtual environments, Presence: Teleoperators and Virtual Environments is filled with stimulating research and designs applicable to these advanced electromechanical and computer devices. Incorporating perspectives from physics to philosophy, Presence appeals to a wide audience, particularly mechanical and electrical engineers concerned with teleoperators; computer scientists, high-tech artists, media people, and others interested in virtual environments; and psychologists involved in the study of human-machine interfaces and sensorimotor/cognitive behavior. (Note: Actually a paper based journal published by the MIT Press, but at least they've got their journal contents pages and some sample articles online.)
SPEED
http://proxy.arts.uci.edu/%7Enideffer/_SPEED_/
SPEED provides a forum for the critical investigation of technology, media, and society. Our intention is to contribute toward a democratic discourse of technology and media, one that is always focused upon the material conditions of life that technologies and media constitute and demand, and yet does not lose sight of the power of ideas to change those conditions. We feel that as media of various kinds become more ubiquitous, what it means to live with and talk about a "medium" changes and expands, and so do the critical vocabularies of interpreting what those transformations indicate. Our primary goal in that effort is to foster a cross-fertilization of ideas between communities of people in the "academy" and "industry" too often separated, not by interest or common concern, but by artificially imposed disciplinary and organizational boundaries. We think that _SPEED_ is a promising step toward making these institutional boundaries more permeable, and a critical politics of "mediated sociality" more powerful. (Note: Defunct since 1997, but archives still online.)
Surfaces
http://www.pum.umontreal.ca/revues/surfaces/home.html
Serious philosphical magazine, heavy on theory, slanted towards postmodernism and internet culture. Partly in French, even clicking through from an English page will sometimes land you on a French page. However nice, I'd not suggest using Babelfish for translations of this caliber. Found this site when doing a search on David Porush's work. (Note: Defunct since 1999, but archives still online.)
