Movement forward: The continued growth of Child–Computer Interaction research

Abstract

In this inaugural editorial as the new and the past editors-in-chief of the International Journal of Child-Computer Interaction (IJCCI), we take stock of the journal’s progress in its first 8 years of existence, and we describe our views and plans to support the journal maintain its positive trajectory as the premier journal in the multidisciplinary area of Child-Computer Interaction (CCI) and Interaction Design and Children, and a respected and leading journal in the fields of human–computer interaction, interaction design and the learning sciences. Here we take the opportunity to lay out a vision for the upcoming years as well as to reflect and engage in a constructive and critical dialogue about the future of CCI as a field of research and the IJCCI.
