CFP: CHB Special Issue “Gamification”

We are inviting submissions to a special issue of Computers in Human Behavior, titled “Gamification: Gameful Design, Research, and Applications”.  Note that we have extended the deadline to July 25, but are reviewing submissions as they come in. 

Overview

Following our successful conference on Gamification 2013: Gameful Design, Research, and Applications, we invite you to submit your research on all aspects of gamification to this special issue of Computers in Human Behavior.

Gamification uses game design to make a system that primarily supports non-game tasks more fun, engaging, and motivating. We invite a wide variety of high-quality research papers into our special issue. We seek to understand the research necessary for increasingly effective implementation of gamification in business, health, education and entertainment. We welcome substantial research studies of gamification successes and failures, unanswered questions about gamification, gamification metrics and processes, methods of gamification commercialization and more.
