About the Journal

The Immersive Learning Research Network (iLRN) promotes opportunities for the emerging immersive learning professional community to collaborate and plant seeds of innovation to develop the scientific, technical, and applied potential of immersive learning. Our different proceedings and publications capture this.

iLRN produces various types of publications:

  • Conference Proceedings for Selected Full and Short Papers with External Publishers. Following our annual international conference, reputable publishers such as IEEE Xplore Digital Library and Springer's Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS) publish selected high-quality papers as full papers and short papers. Those publications are listed here, but the full text can be found in each publisher's repository.
  • Open-Access Conference Proceedings for Other Contributions (Practitioner submissions, full/short, Poster & Workshop Abstracts) Published by iLRN. Following our annual international conference, iLRN publishes other accepted contributions in an open-access online proceedings volume with an ISBN and individual DOIs. These can be found on this website.
  • Journal Special Issues (Extended Full Papers) with External Publishers. A select number of manuscripts published in either of the proceedings volumes are invited to submit extended versions of their conference papers for publication in Scopus-indexed journals. Those publications are listed here, but the full text can be found in each publisher's repository.

We are committed to upholding the highest ethical standards in our publications. Our Publication Ethics and Publications Malpractice Statement (available hereis based on the Code of Conduct and Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors (COPE, 2011). 

The Immersive Learning Research Network is a Crossref member.
