À propos de cette revue

IRIE (International Review of Information Ethics), ISSN 2563-5638 (formerly published under ISSN 1614-1687 between 2004 and 2017) is a peer-reviewed open-access scientific journal. It is a publication of the University of Alberta in partnership with IBICT - Brazilian Institute of Information in Science and Technology with editorial support from IBICT’s Graduate Program in Information Science, developed in association with the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ).

Focus and Scope

IRIE was launched in 2004, and it envisions an international and intercultural discourse concerning the ethical impacts of information technology on human practices and thinking, social interaction, science, research, and society. After 15 years of publication under the leadership of IRIE Founders, Editor-in-Chief Professor Rafael Capurro, alongside Dr. Felix Weil, whose operational management of IRIE was critical to its success, and Professor Thomas Hausmanninger, IRIE was re-launched in 2020 at the University of Alberta with support from Dr. Geoffrey Rockwell, Canada CIFAR AI Chair. The Kule Institute for Advanced Study facilitated the redevelopment of the journal at the University of Alberta. 

For two decades, the International Review of Information Ethics (IRIE) has led the field in exploring new frontiers of ethics and technology. Having covered topics ranging from robotics to religion, IRIE has ventured into some of the most thought-provoking conversations of the digital age.
