Journal of Metaverse

Aims & Scope

Journal of Metaverse is a scientific, double-blind, peer-reviewed, open-access international journal that publishes original, theoretical and/or practical articles. It aims to publish a wide range of articles in different disciplines about the metaverse and its research. Journal of Metaverse intends to facilitate effective communication between scientists. It will reflect the significant advances that are currently ongoing in computer science. The multidisciplinary character of this field will be typified by providing readers with a broad range of articles. The articles will be original review articles, research papers written by individual researchers and research groups that appeal to the wider international community of academics and other professionals. The journal aims to keep related researchers updated on the developments in a wide range of topics, reporting experiments, techniques, and ideas that advance the understanding of various areas of the metaverse. Presents the latest developments in the metaverse, Emphasizes emerging and multidisciplinary fields and international trends in research and development about the metaverse, Covers special topics in line with the progression of worldwide scientists, Journal of Metaverse accepts articles in English. Journal of Metaverse started its publication life in 2021. Open access has adopted a double-blind and pre-review system. It was published twice a year, in January and June (The first issue) and July and December (The second issue) , until the end of 2025. Starting in 2026 , it uses a continuous publishing model , so accepted articles are published online as soon as the publication process is complete. Under the continuous publishing model, only an issue number is used, and no volume number is assigned. Journal of Metaverse aims to publish original research papers in all major branches of the Metaverse. Articles that are not directly related to the Metaverse but are related to topics listed below can also be in our journal's scope. However, these publications should involve the development of new technology rather than the use of existing methods.Although a submission may be related to the topics listed, the Editorial Board of Journal of Metaverse reserves the right to desk-reject manuscripts if they are deemed unlikely to attract the interest of the journal’s readership, if they are considered to offer insufficient contribution to the field, if there is already a high volume of publications on the same subject, if so many similar studies are currently under review, or if there is an excessive number of submissions from the same country or geographic region. This policy aims to maintain a balanced geographic distribution and provide opportunities for researchers from diverse regions and research areas. We invite submissions on a wide range of research topics, including, but not limited to: Digital Twin Digital Asset Blockchain Web 3 Digital Currency Non-Fungible Token (NFT) Marketplace /Digital Commerce Metaverse Infrastructure Gaming and Entertainment Digital Humans Virtual Reality Augmented Reality XR Artificial Intelligence (ChatBots, Generative AI, and LLM-related papers) Emerging Technologies and Applications for Metaverse Decentralized Architectures for Metaverse Al-driven Ecosystem in Metaverse Cryptocurrency, Token Solutions for Metaverse Data security and privacy mechanisms for Metaverse Fraud-Detection in Metaverse Cyber Security for Metaverse Operations and Maintenance in Metaverse Smart Contracts for Metaverse Data Analytics to Identify Malicious Behaviors in Metaverse Decentralized and Collaborative AI for Metaverse Interoperability for Metaverse Generative AI, ChatBots, and LLMs Immersive Hologram Technology
