[Commlist] MediArXiv open archive

MediArXiv open archive officially launches!

We are thrilled to announce that MediArXiv—the free, nonprofit, 
scholar-led digital archive for media, film and communication studies—is 
officially launching this week. MediArXiv is an open platform, hosted by 
the Center for Open Science, for media, film, and communication scholars 
to upload working papers, pre-prints, accepted manuscripts 
(post-prints), and published manuscripts. The service accepts articles, 
books, and book chapters, and we plan to support multimedia submissions 
in the future:

FAQs are available on our companion site:

MediArXiv joins the growing movement started by the 
math/physics/computer science-oriented http://arXiv.org over 25 years 
ago, as one of the first full-fledged “preprint” servers conceived for 
humanities and social science scholars. Our aim is to promote open 
scholarship across media, film, and communication studies around the 
world. In addition to accepting and moderating submissions, we plan to 
advocate for policy changes at the major media, film, & communication 
studies professional societies around the world—to push for open-access 
friendly policies, in particular, for the journals that these 
associations sponsor.

We are launching with a 17-member Steering Committee of scholars and 
open access advocates from around the world. The Committee includes 
members from five continents, every rank (including graduate students), 
and along gender and other lines of equity. We support submissions in 
English, Spanish, Chinese, French, Portugeuse, German, Dutch, Finnish, 
and Turkish:
