*Call for papers: Special issue of the Journal of Computer-Mediated 
Communication*

what should it be tomorrow)? A special issue examining the state of the 
field


Guest editors

What is computer-mediated communication (CMC)? Further, what is the 
nature of the social and psychological processes vis-a-vis such 
digitally-mediated communication? In the quarter-century since the 
founding of the Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication (emphasis 
added), there have been significant changes in the object of study, the 
theories, and methods used to examine the phenomenon.


The Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication invites abstracts for a 
dedicated issue to consider the scope, theoretical direction, and 
methodological concerns in technology-mediated communication research. 
In the case of a special issue, we will suspend the criteria of 
requiring papers to have a primarily empirical focus. We invite articles 
that will help frame the future direction of research into 
digitally-mediated communication.

We will first seek extended abstracts of 1000-1500 words that outline 
the domain of the paper, the main argument, the literature upon which 
the paper is built, and the proposed contribution to the specific domain 
and to the sub-discipline. Submit papers to (mzyao /at/ illinois.edu) 
<mailto:(mzyao /at/ illinois.edu)> and mark the subject line with "JCMC Special 
issue." The submission should come with a brief biography (approx. 
100-150 words) of the authors. *Abstracts should be submitted by 31 
March 2018*.


Notification of commissioned papers will be made by the end of May 2018. 
Full articles will be due by 1 Oct 2018, through 
https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jcmc 
<https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jcmc>. The manuscripts must conform to 
the formatting standards of JCMC.
