About this journal
Aims and scope
An international, refereed journal, Gender, Technology and Development serves as a forum for exploring the linkages between gender relations, development and/or technological change. The objective of the journal is to provide a platform for original research and theorizing on the shifting meanings of gender, as it relates to advances in science and technologies and/or to social, political, economic, and cultural change. In particular, the journal is interested in addressing these in the context of transnational phenomena and engaging in dialogues that cut across geographical boundaries.
Multi-disciplinary in nature, the journal aims to bring together and encourage evidence-driven discussions and knowledge sharing between researchers, practitioners and policy makers. As such it welcomes original empirically-based (both qualitative and quantitative) research papers but also encourages new theoretical contributions and critical reflection papers that engage with the theoretical and research literature on gender and development and/or science and technologies (understood in the broadest sense), and open new areas of inquiries. In addition to articles from individuals or collectives, the journal publishes book reviews. Submissions from the Global South are especially encouraged.
Peer Review Policy
All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is double anonymized.

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication. However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
For more details, please read the Author Services guide to understanding journal metrics.
