[Commlist] Call for open access edited book proposals for Wave 20 of the ECREA Book Series in European Communication Research and Education

*CALL for OPEN ACCESS EDITED BOOK PROPOSALS for Wave 20 of the ECREA 
Book Series in European Communication Research and Education *

	

*The Series Editors Göran Bolin, John Downey, Christina Holtz-Bacha and 
Simone Tosoni invite the submission of open access book proposals for 
the Palgrave Studies in European Communication Research and Education.*

The Book Series aims to provide a diverse overview of the work of ECREA 
members and working groups, showcasing a diversity of topics and areas 
within the field of contemporary media and communication research, and 
addressing this diversity from a variety of interdisciplinary 
perspectives, and through promoting collaborative research of our 
members, either within or between ECREA Sections, Networks and Temporary 
Working Groups (S/N/TWGs).

The selection procedure consists of two steps:

Step 1: Editors propose a topic for the volume. The proposals should 
contain: the names, affiliation, and a brief CV (maximum of 1 page of 
A4) for each of the editors, the title of the proposed volume, and a 
rationale (maximum of 1000 words).

The ECREA Book Series Committee evaluates the proposals, decides on the 
acceptance for Step 2, and provides recommendations for the structure of 
the book.

Step 2: If selected, the editors launch a call for abstracts and then 
select abstracts and submit an extended book proposal. The ECREA Book 
Series Committee evaluates the proposal, and, if necessary, provides 
recommendations for additional authors and perspectives for the 
chapters. Step 2 is competitive; at the end of the process, the ECREA 
Book Series Committee selects the proposal to be published as an open 
access book.


*WHAT are we seeking?*

ECREA Book Series Publications need to have a clear theme or focus.

We are looking for timely and cutting-edge topics from the field of 
communication, as covered by ECREA.

*ECREA Book Series Publications aim to promote European media and 
communication research. *We are seeking proposals that have a strong 
European dimension either by virtue of inclusion of regionally and 
ethnically diverse voices and cases, or by virtue of comparative 
research. Proposals should attempt to bridge the divides between 
regional and linguistic academic communities and strive to secure 
regional (East/West/North/South) balance of contributors and/or analysed 
cases. Proposals can include a limited number of authors who are not 
ECREA members and provide insights beyond European perspective (see 
details below).

*ECREA Book Series Publications aim to promote collaborative research.* 
The series publishes edited volumes; single author monographs or 
monographs from a limited number of authors or authors based at the same 
institution will not be considered for publication. Proposals resulting 
from work within ECREA S/N/TWGs as well as those resulting from 
collaboration between ECREA S/N/TWGs are particularly encouraged. 
Proposals resulting from S/N/TWGs events or international projects are 
welcomed if the thematic coherence and the European dimension of the 
topic are apparent. Proposals where the work comes from members of one 
institution or predominantly form one national academic community are 
not considered for publication.

*We are seeking original, previously unpublished work.* Inclusion of 
previously published work is accepted under condition that the work has 
previously not been published in English or was published in now mainly 
inaccessible outlets. In such cases, editors of accepted proposals will 
be required to acquire permissions to translate or republish the work 
(without any extra costs to the Book Series).

*WHO is invited to submit?*

The book series primarily promotes the work of ECREA members although a 
degree of openness towards non-ECREA members is also considered if the 
added value to the Book Series is evident.

At least 50% of the chapters need to originate from ECREA members 
(individual members, or members through an institutional membership). At 
least one of the editors needs to be an ECREA member. These conditions 
need to be met at the latest when the proposal is accepted.

Please note that ECREA Executive Board members cannot be editors of the 
books in ECREA book series but can serve as authors of the chapters. The 
Book Series editors cannot contribute to the content of the books in the 
ECREA book series in any way.

*What is the DEADLINE for submissions?*

Deadline for proposals in the first step are to be sent to the series 
editors by email to (info /at/ ecrea.eu) <mailto:(info /at/ ecrea.eu)> by *15 October 
2023*.

*HOW to submit the proposal?*

The proposals in step 1 should contain: the names, affiliation, and a 
brief CV (maximum of 1 page of A4) for each of the editors, the topic 
and the title of the proposed volume, and a rationale (maximum of 1000 
words).

Proposals in step 2 include extended abstracts for all contributions, 
introductory and concluding chapter.

*QUESTIONS and queries?*

Should you have any further questions concerning the Book Series call, 
please email the Book Series Editors at (info /at/ ecrea.eu)
