Journal of Openness, Commons & Organizing

Aims & Scope

JOCO, Journal of Openness, Commons & Organizing (JOCO) is affiliated to the Research Group on Collaborative Spaces (RGCS) and shares the values of open and citizen sciences. Its ambition is interdisciplinary, with contributions from fields such as management, organization studies, innovation studies, organizational sociology, urban sociology, economic geography, anthropology, political sciences, philosophy, psychology. JOCO provides open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global knowledge exchange. The Journal of Open Commons & Organizing (JOCO) aims at being a forum for research and a platform for discussion about old and new ways of working and organizing explored from open and citizen sciences perspectives. Our main goal is to pursue openness as a distinct, consistent and integrated field of research and our approach to openness is two-fold: not only are we interested in contributions to open science topics and methodologies, but we are also committed to creating an open space where heterogeneous paradigms, disciplines and communities may interact recursively and inclusively at the different stages of their inputs to explore old and new ways of working. We welcome contributions from researchers, practitioners, artists, activists, and we highly encourage collective inputs regarding old and new ways of working (in corporate, scientific and activist worlds) and their relationships with new and open modes of management and organizing, new ways of living and alternative forms of society. Studies elaborating systematic links between work, organizing and societal or political dynamics are particularly welcome. We invite all social sciences methods and methodologies. We are open to both empirical, conceptual and philosophical contributions.
