[ecrea] Call for papers - Journal Estudos do Século XX - "Communication, Journalism and Public Space in the Digital Era"

Call for papers

Estudos do Século XX (20th Century studies) is a journal subject to peer 
review, the purpose of which is to disseminate the findings of research 
performed in Portuguese Contemporary History.

The editorial office is now preparing Issue no. 15, to be released in 
2015, on the subject of “Communication, Journalism and Public Space in 
the Digital Era” and will focus on the fundamental topics of the present 
time. Characterized by the digitalization of the communication flows, 
these are times of deep changes in the field of communication and media, 
with significant impact on different societal spheres and scopes. While, 
on the one hand, the proposed views on communicational processes are 
revisited and the concepts and other methodological tools for studying 
media and the public space are reviewed, on the other hand, the analyses 
of the languages, the place and the role of media and journalism in 
hyper-complex societies are updated. This edition is intended 
particularly to assemble the original inputs of this emerging and often 
scattered productive activity. Our aim is also to foster 
interdisciplinary discussion, which will help strengthen research in 
this field. We thus welcome all submissions fitting within the following 
guiding topics:

1. New theories for new communication processes;
2. Journalism in the digital age;
3. Organizational communication in the digital age;
4. Public opinion and public space in the digital age;

The journal Estudos do Século XX therefore calls for paper submission, 
in the form of scientific articles or recensions, on one of the 
aforementioned topics.

The papers’ draft titles, abstracts consisting of a maximum of 100 words 
and biographical notes (including name, academic degree and institution 
where said degree was obtained, affiliation and complete address of the 
institution, telephone/fax number, email and up to 5 recent 
publications) must be submitted via email (ceis20_bib /at/ ci.uc.pt) until 31 
January 2015. Furthermore, interested parties are also required to 
specify the theme under which they wish to submit their papers.

The authors of accepted papers shall receive relevant notice until 15 
February 2015, and the complete texts must be sent in digital copy via 
e-mail to (ceis20_bib /at/ ci.uc.pt) until 31 March 2015. No submissions will 
be accepted after this date.

All submissions must be original and previously unpublished, and may not 
be submitted for publication in other journals. The papers may be in 
Portuguese, Spanish, French or English language. They are required to be 
in Microsoft Word, using Times New Roman font, 12 points, 1.5 spacing 
between lines, (long quotations and footnotes must use 10 point font and 
simple spacing between lines).

The papers shall consist of a maximum of 50.000 characters (including 
spaces, footers and bibliographical references) and will include a 
maximum of a 100 word summary and five key-words, in Portuguese, English 
and French. The Editorial Board may provide for the translation into 
these foreign languages, if requested by the author. All papers 
exceeding the word limits herein specified will not be accepted for 
publication.

All submissions shall undergo peer review. The coordinator of each issue 
will be responsible for selecting the texts for publication, based on 
the opinions of the referees. The authors will receive notice of the 
opinions and acceptance for publication. The bibliographical references 
and quotations must comply with Portuguese Standard 405-1 (1994) and 
relevant updates. The articles that they do not obey the norms will be
