Journal of Human-Technology Relations

Aims & Scope

The Journal of Human-Technology Relations (JHTR) is a peer-reviewed diamond open access journal with no article processing charges and no publishing fees. All research papers are double-anonymous peer-reviewed. We welcome high-quality submissions from all disciplines relevant to the study of human-technology relations, regardless of the approach or school of thought from which they originate. JHTR welcomes both theoretical and empirical analyses of human-technology relations, as long as they contribute to a better understanding of the character, structure, and implications of the relations between humans, technologies, and societies. Technologies have come to play a central role in human lives and societies. They help to shape how humans are born and die, learn and live, behave and are being treated, work and relax, have families and friendships, have power and are overpowered, build societies and engage in politics. Studying human-technology relations, therefore, requires a wide range of academic disciplines and subdisciplines in the humanities and the social sciences. To this end, with a basis in Philosophy of Technology and in Science and Technology Studies, JHTR welcomes contributions on human-technology relations from a wide variety of disciplines, ranging from Design Research to Human-Computer Interaction, from Ethics to Metaphysics, and from Political Theory to Responsible Research and Innovation, and Artistic Research. The composition of the editorial team reflects the variety of approaches from which human-technology relations can be investigated.

A twelfth criterion — whether APC fees are clearly disclosed — is not scored here; it is left out of the total rather than counted as a failure. Publication charges appear in the metrics card above.
