*"The Future of the Field: Past, Present, and Future of Communication Research in Ibero-America"*

RAEIC, Revista Española de la Asociación Española de Investigación de la Comunicación, invites proposals for articles for its upcoming issue on "The Future of the Field: Past, Present, and Future of Communication Research in Ibero-America," which will be published in October 2023.

The deadline for submission of final texts is June 15, 2023.

Editors: Manuel Goyanes (Universidad Carlos III de Madrid) and Thaiane Oliveira (Universidade Federal Fluminense).

Description: Studies on communication research in Ibero-America have traditionally been an inexhaustible source of evidence documenting the origin and evolution of the field, dominant scientific patterns, and the impact of Ibero-American research in Spain and the world (Vessuri et al., 2014; Martínez-Nicolás & Saperas-Lapiedra, 2016). In recent decades, this line of research has been consolidating, largely thanks to the structured efforts, but also the voluntary efforts, of many researchers from different traditions and sensitivities (Piñeiro-Naval-Morais, 2019; Caffarel et al., 2018). Regardless of the origin of these contributions, it is fair to say without fear of being wrong that communication research in Ibero-America enjoys great prestige within our borders, but efforts to integrate it into the competitive international market are still rudimentary, despite recent progress and the formation of circuits of excellence in scientific publication. In this context, it is interesting to revisit the ferment of our field, critically analyze what has brought us here, and consider the expectations and practices with which to anticipate the future. However, this task is not easy. As has been highlighted, there have been many previous studies that have contributed to our understanding of the methodological and theoretical nature of the field, although in recent years there has been some repetition and exhaustion (Walter et al., 2018). The aim of this special issue is to revitalize this intellectual terrain through the proposal of theoretical and empirical studies that, from a critical, provocative, and challenging perspective, examine the practices and patterns of communication research in Ibero-America (Goyanes, 2017). Through problematizing these practices and mechanisms that are taken for granted, this special issue will seek to propose alternative or challenging scenarios that help fertilize a more interesting and diverse intellectual terrain (Herbst, 2008). As a whole, this line of research is relevant because it stimulates a critical attitude towards the nature of the field, as well as the norms, values, and practices that govern communication research. Based on these objectives, we encourage further exploration of the following aspects:

Thematic areas:

Inequalities, biases, and lack of representativeness in communication research Critical studies on dominant scientific paradigms and their impact on communication research Theoretical and/or empirical reflections on new ways of articulating and disseminating communication research in national and international journals Critical studies on the relationship between power and knowledge in the process of production and dissemination of scientific communication (endogamy/invisible schools) and systems of co-optation The role and impact of accreditation agencies in the development of communication research, their professional profiles, and identity
The role of multilingualism in Ibero-America in communication research
Critical studies (scientometric and bibliometric) of research and production patterns in Ibero-America and Ibero-American research in international journals Critically reflected and theoretically grounded reflections on the evolution of studies and research in the field of communication and its subfields. Other thematic areas that offer a provocative and challenging perspective on the state, agendas, and evolution of communication research.

The RAE-IC does not charge any fees for submitting or processing articles. Additionally, publication in the journal is also completely free of charge.
