25,000 downloads, making it one of the most successful journals in terms of
academic reach in communication studies.

on media research. Its peer-review journal Observatorio(OBS*) is an online,
multimedia, open access, academic character publication. It is an
interdisciplinary online journal which, although focused in communication,
is opened to the contributions of other subjects which claim themselves as
part of the Communication Studiesâ?? areas, from academia to the
business-related world.

Observatorio (OBS*) journal is a publication with international character,
which accepts and publishes texts written in Portuguese, Spanish, Catalan,
Galician, Italian, French and English.
