Domain Migration

Mon, 11 May 2026 15:29:14 +0000

Dear DW/R community,

Please be advised that our domain has migrated, meaning that the old domain https://journals.sfu.ca/dwr/index.php/dwr has been retired. The journal's new domain is: https://cjsdw.journals.publicknowledgeproject.org/index.php/dwr.

If you have the site bookmarked on your computer or linked anywhere (a website, for example), please adjust accordingly. This is a relatively seamless process, but we ask for patience as we migrate DOI's to match the new URL.

Kindly,

The DW/R Editorial Team
