[ecrea] REFRAME - An open access academic digital publishing platform

Dear Colleagues,

I am writing to the list to let you know about REFRAME 
(http://reframe.sussex.ac.uk). It is an open access academic digital 
platform for the online practice, publication and curation of 
internationally produced research and scholarship. Its subject 
specialisms—media, film and music— are also those of its publisher, the 
School of Media, Film and Music (MFM) at the University of Sussex, UK. 
REFRAME is managed by an editorial board composed of MFM faculty, 
graduate researchers, and other University of Sussex associates, and it 
is supported by an international advisory board.

REFRAME aims to offer a range of scholarly and related creative and 
critical content – from relatively ephemeral or responsive forms of 
research output (project blogs, online film and video festivals, 
conferences and symposia, and audio and video podcasts) through to fully 
peer-reviewed online serials and monographic publications, and digital 
archives and assemblages.

REFRAME channels its content through a dynamic portal website that links 
to and publicises its multiple components. It is also active across a 
range of social media. Its open access ethos is underpinned by a 
commitment to interacting with its audiences wherever possible. Our 
REFRAMED blog will flag up each new REFRAME endeavour, and will also 
digest and link to related online projects, publications, news and 
events (so, do please let us know of any at the email address given below).
REFRAME is launching with two projects: the website for the AHRC funded 
Global Queer Cinema Project (http://reframe.sussex.ac.uk/gqc/) and 
SEQUENCE (http://reframe.sussex.ac.uk/sequence/), an experimental, 
peer-reviewed, media, film and music studies serial publication.

We hope that REFRAME will go on to provide an innovative, engaging and 
productive environment for audiovisual, audio and visual, and written 
digital humanities or ‘Digital-First’ research, scholarship and 
publishing in media, film and music, including the production, curation 
and online archiving of experimental work and research by practice.

Please contact us if you would like to propose a research or publishing 
project for our consideration, publicise a related online initiative or 
website, or offer any feedback.

Thanks for reading.
