About the INC Publications: The aim of the INC is to create sustainable research networks. In its first years, the INC selected a few emerging topics in which a critical contribution could be made, such as ICT for development, urban screens and the creative industries. Such an INC research thread may start with just one person with ideas on a topic of critical importance. This can lead to the formation of a small group of international researchers, both inside and outside of the academy, which may then result in a larger online discussion.
About the Studies in Network Cultures: This book series investigates concepts and practices specific to network cultures and also explores how to conduct research within this shifting environment. Published by NAi Publishers.
About the INC Readers: The INC Reader series are devoted to INC conference themes and derived from conference contributions.
About the Network Notebooks: Network Notebooks presents new media research specifically commissioned by the INC.
About the Theory on Demand: This series takes its name from Print on Demand, a process in which new copies of a book are not printed until an order has been received.
