Issue 15: February 2022
Issue editors: Panayotis Antoniadis & Mathieu O’Neil
JoPP #15 on TRANSITION features six peer-reviewed articles exploring diverse aspects of transitions in peer production projects. Each article is accompanied by an additional piece or ‘complement’ which addresses the same topic in a non-academic manner. This experimental format aimed to explore the transitions, permutations and transformations of research on peer production. Reflections about change also inform the future of the Journal of Peer Production itself. It was collectively decided that the correct transition path for the Journal is to close its circle: this will be the final issue of the Journal of Peer Production. This TRANSITION issue will serve as a vehicle to strengthen the Journal of Peer Production community and encourage its members to collectively learn from the past and support each other in our future endeavors.
To that end, the issue comprises two dedicated sections: ‘Reflections on the past’ and ‘The future’ which will remain open for contributions by members of the Journal of Peer Production community until the end of 2022, the final year of the Journal of Peer Production. In early 2023, a closing ceremony will mark the end of this era. More detail on the content of the issue – in its current incarnation – and the plans for its expansion can be found in our Editorial Notes. We look forward to your feedback and contributions.
