Reviews

This publication has been indexed in the DBLP Computer Science Bibliography.

– 

The editors of this book have taken 63 chapters of cutting-edge research and crafted them into a highly cohesive story of CMC from a multitude of perspectives for a wide range of technologies... a must for any course in mediated communication.

– Fay Sudweeks, Murdoch University, Australia

The Handbook of Research on Computer Mediated Communication is a book that is long overdue and sheds significant light on several aspects of CMC. I strongly recommend it.

– Bolanle Olaniran, Texas Tech University, USA

This comprehensive resource offers an exhaustive range of the many, very up-to-date aspects related to computer mediated communication. It is the world's number-one handbook in the field.

– Marc Hermeking, Ludwig Maximilians University, Germany

This is really a handbook to consult from in your daily work using CMC. It is a comprehensive collection of case work in many countries from all continents including intercultural aspects in a wide variety of applications. The solid volume covers unexpected surprises, such as deception in CMC negotiation, the psychology and identity development through personal websites, the growing culture of cyberspace, cyber bulling between adolescents, enhancement of psychotherapy through CMC, team cooperation through learning and using library services, serving disabled people. Moreover it includes linguistic aspects, not only in English. A big compliment who brought this together is extended by:
Jan Ulijn, Fellow of the Society of Communication and Jean Monnet professor of European Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Culture

– Jan Ulijn, Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands

>"Its 69 chapters are far-reaching enough to establish a foundation of knowledge across a wide range of readers."
