You have reached The Official Website of Jonathan Bishop. I am regarded by Incisive Media to be one of ‘Britain’s foremost exporters of online community and e-learning research to the USA and Mainland Europe‘. I am regarded as the leading authority in the world on Internet trolling and increasing participation in online communities, having over 20 peer-reviewed research articles published, written over 12 letters and op-eds on the trolling since 2011 and been quoted in over 8 different news media publications on the topic since then. I also run the Trolling Academy initiative, which has informal learning opportunities, accredited courses, expert opinion, and a directory of support websites for victims of flame trolling.
My online community research is among the best in the world. My seminal paper, ‘Increasing participation in online communities‘ has received the following accolades:
- Rated as one of the Top 8 Posts about Online Communities by FeverBee - The Online Community Guide.
- Ranked as one of the Top 25 Hottest Computer Science articles of 2007.
- Ranked as one of the Top 20 most cited papers of all time in Computers in Human Behaviour.
This website I have set-up will give you a chance to see my work for yourself and make up your own mind. The website provides access to nearly everything I have written or communicated in durable form since gaining my first degree in 2002. Since that time I have kept a weblog and blog, where I provide thoughts on a number of topics – some of them more developed that others, some which I still believe and some which I no longer believe.
