*Call for Two Special Issue Proposals*

/Communication & Sport, /a bi-monthly research journal published by SAGE 
Publishing in association with the International Association for 
Communication and Sport, invites proposals for two guest-edited special 
issues. Now in its 6th year of publication, /Communication & Sport/ has 
established itself as a leading journal at the nexus of 
communication/media studies and sport studies.  In 2018, /Communication 
& Sport/ was recognized with a prestigious PROSE Award as the Best New 
Journal in the Social Sciences. It received an Impact Factor of 2.395 
(and 5-year IF of 2.896) and was ranked 14/84 in the Communication 
(Q1) and 17/50 in Hospitality, Leisure, Sport & Tourism (Q2), ahead of 
many strong established journals in both communication and sport 
studies. Â Please visit the journal website for more information about 
its Aims & Scope, the Editorial Board, and sample issues at 
http://journals.sagepub.com/home/com.

Proposals by prospective guest editors of special issues will be 
reviewed by Editor-in-Chief Lawrence Wenner and three Associate Editors 
(Andrew Billings, Marie Hardin, and David Rowe) in consultation with a 
distinguished international Editorial Board. Manuscripts for special 
issues will be solicited via open calls for submissions and undergo a 
double-blind review process under the supervision of the special issue 
editor(s) and Editor-in-Chief.  We seek special issue proposals in two 
categories:

*The first is a "global call"*and looks for special issue proposals that 
will feature scholars, scholarship and topics from beyond the United 
States and the historical British Commonwealth countries (United 
Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand) where research on 
communication, media, and sport is already well established. Priority 
will be given to proposals that focus on broad themes/topics that 
facilitate inclusion of scholars, scholarship, and topics from across 
the globe rather than micro-focused topics centered on one particular 
country or region.

*The second is an "open call"*and looks for a special issue on an 
important and focused topic area. Priority will be given to proposals on 
communication and sport topics that are emerging, deserving of more 
focused attention, and have resonance across our community of global 
scholars.

Proposals should be sent to (lawrence.wenner /at/ gmail.com) 
<mailto:(lawrence.wenner /at/ gmail.com)> by December 1, 2018, with */C&S 
/Special Issue Proposal: Global or Open* in the subject line and 
addressing the following points:

1. Characterization of theme/topic to be addressed.

2. Relevance and timeliness of the theme/topic.

3. Expected contribution to the study of communication and sport.

4. Interdisciplinary interest and impact.

5. Interest to the international academic community.

6. Quality and quantity of expected submissions.

7. Academic qualifications and editorial experience of the proposed 
editor(s).
