[ecrea] Call for Articles – Catalan Journal of Communication and Cultural Studies

  Call for Papers

DEADLINE FOR NEXT MISCELLANEOUS ISSUE:* MARCH 31ST, 2016*

Submissions are welcome at any time. Manuscripts that arrive after
31/03/2016 will /not/ be considered for the next miscellaneous issue due
in Spring 2017, but will be subject to the normal procedure for future
issues.

*Miscellaneous issues*

We invite contributions from scholars, researchers and professionals
from around the world who wish to publish their works in a journal with
a truly international scope. We especially encourage young researchers
and (post)doctoral scholars to submit articles.

CJCS accepts original contributions under the following headings and
conforming to the following guidelines:

*Articles*
Articles should be between 6,000-8,000 words. They must be based on
original research or offer well grounded theoretical contributions, they
must be written in a clear and concise style in English and they must
not be under consideration by any other publication. In the first
instance the author(s) must sent one anonymous copy of the article
containing an abstract (max. 150 words) and keywords (max. 6) and attach
a separate sheet with the title of the article, name of the author(s),
institutional affiliation, abstract, keywords, references of the
article, biographical note and institutional address and e-mail. Authors
must avoid any information within the article which make it possible to
infer their identity (acknowledgements must be avoided at this stage and
references to their own work must be done in the third person). All
articles are submitted to a blind peer reviewing process. Manuscripts
will be evaluated on the basis of their originality, the soundness of
their theory and methodology, the coherence of their analysis and their
ability to communicate to readers (including non-specialist readers).

All submissions and proposals must be sent to (catalan.journal /at/ urv.cat)
<mailto:(catalan.journal /at/ urv.cat)> and must follow Intellect’s House Style
Guide
<http://www.intellectbooks.co.uk/journals/page/index,name=journalstyleguide/>. 
Please
read the Notes for contributors
<http://www.intellectbooks.co.uk/MediaManager/File/CJCS%20Notes%20for%20Contributors.pdf>suggested 

by CJCS before submitting.

*Viewpoint*
This section will include research notes, short commentaries,
reflections on current affairs, cultural and media events, short
interviews, etc. Experts, leading scholars, experienced professionals
and senior researchers are invited to submit their proposals which will
be selected also in accordance with academic criteria and depending on
the availability of space. Contributions for this section should not
exceed 3000 words in length and are submitted to review by the Editors.

*Gateway*
The Editors of CJCS will select an article from those previously
published by Catalan academic journals for publication in this section.
Gateway will give international coverage to the best articles written
and published originally in Catalan. The Editors will select the work
using the abovementioned criteria and the authors must seek permission
for translation and publication in CJCS. We encourage researchers to
suggest articles for this section along with an argument for their
suitability.

*Reviews*
CJCS also publishes short book reviews, in English and commissioned by
the Editors, about leading editorial projects in Catalan/Spanish or
English in keeping with the aims and scope of the journal.
