The Digiplay games research bibliography is the largest database of academic and research articles on game freely available on the web. The Digiplay bibliography of computer games research has gone through several changes in its lifecycle. This version is the newest but still undergoing continual updating.

Fully integrated into this new Digiplay web site, the bibliography contains over 2500 references to papers, books, theses and conference papers on computer, video and digital games research. Multidisciplinary in nature, it includes references across the whole range of fields including sociology, psychology, computer science, education, literary studies, health sciences, economics, media studies, and law and so forth from 1949 to the present day.

All the references have COinS data associated with them, so that means that they are compatible with Zotero, the free Firefox extension which allows you to collect, manage and cite your research sources.

You can also use our OpenSearch Plugin to find references in the games research bibliography and other pages on the Digiplay site right from your browser toolbar.
