Important Update: IJCCR Platform Migration

Dear Readers and Contributors of the International Journal of Community Currency Research (IJCCR),

We are pleased to announce an important development for our journal: the migration to a new, enhanced platform that will significantly improve your research experience.

## What’s Coming

The new platform will feature:

  • Enhanced reference management system ** for better citation tracking and cross-referencing of our articles
  • Improved indexation capabilities ** to help you discover relevant research more efficiently
  • Modern interface and submission system ** designed for optimal user experience

## Our Commitment to Continuity

We want to assure you that this transition will be seamless:

  • No interruption to access **: The current website and all existing articles will remain fully accessible throughout the migration process
  • Complete archive preservation **: All published articles will be carefully migrated to maintain their integrity and accessibility
  • Clear communication **: We will only make the switch once the new system is thoroughly tested and the new website is completely ready

## Timeline

The migration process has started already and will take some time due to our limited resources. But we are committed to ensuring everything is perfectly configured before going live. Your continued access to IJCCR’s valuable research content remains our priority.

We appreciate your patience during this transition and look forward to providing you with an enhanced platform that better serves the community currency research community.

Best regards,

Jens Martignoni, Chief editor& the IJCCR Editorial Team

ABSTRACT

This paper aims to map the negotiation mechanisms used by Banco Palmas in order to make Palmas Digital possible as a community digital bank in the Conjunto Palmeiras’ neighbourhood, state of Ceará, Brazil. Palmas Digital represents an alternative way to offer financial services in a network of community banks that was enabled by a digital payment platform called e-Dinheiro. Using a multilevel framework model proposed in Pozzebon & Diniz (2012), we seek to understand the interplay between different actors and technological artefacts in order to understand the “technology-in-practice”, concept defined by Orlikowski (2000). The multilevel framework model was built to understand social consequences of information and communication technologies (ICT) interactions at a community level.
