Abstract
This issue of the Transforming Cultures eJournal concludes the publications arising from an Australian Research Council grant exploring the effects of gender online. I take this introduction as opportunity to introduce the other papers and to summarise my previous research. There is no intention to give a general literature review of research into online gender as I have done this on two previous occasions and several of the other papers in this journal give partial literature reviews.
