The International Journal of Emerging Knowledge Studies is an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary platform dedicated to identifying, describing, and explaining novel forms of knowledge that are arising in response to 21st-century challenges and opportunities. As the field is still developing, there is no universally accepted definition of emerging knowledge.

Common themes and approaches in studying emerging knowledge include:

• Studying the Process of Emergence: How do new forms of knowledge develop? What are the preconditions and catalysts for their emergence?
• Examining the Role of Technology: How do new technologies influence the creation of novel knowledge?
• Investigating the Social Dimensions of Learning: How are new expertise structures socially constructed and distributed? What are the power dynamics involved?
• Analyzing Political Implications: What are the implications of new knowledge for politics, governance, and public policy?
• Assessing Economic Value: What is the economic impact of new knowledge? How is it being monetized?
• Evaluating Ethical Dimensions: What ethical considerations arise in the production and use of emerging knowledge?

To advance the field, it is crucial to foster a robust community of scholars who work across disciplines.

The International Journal of Emerging Knowledge Studies is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal that encourages interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary dialogue on emerging knowledge. It welcomes submissions from scholars across various fields, including but not limited to anthropology, sociology, psychology, political science, history, philosophy, economics, law, education, information science, and natural sciences.
