Perspectives
Contributions from a variety of perspectives are invited, for example,
empirical research (experimental to ethnographic, how simulation has 
helped to advance medical knowledge), in-depth analyses, discussion 
papers, training programs (how simulation helps doctors to be more 
effective, how games help teachers to make the public more aware of 
medical issues), descriptions of simulation/games, literature reviews,
resource surveys.

Simulation & Gaming is the leading international forum for the study and
discussion of simulation/gaming methodology used in education, training,
consultation and research for thirty years.  The quarterly journal examines
the methodologies and explores their application to real-world problems and
situations.  More information can be found at
