WPCC – Open Call for Papers

www.westminsterpapers.org

Westminster Papers in Communication and Culture (WPCC)  is issuing an 
open call for papers for its Summer 2021 issue of up to nine 
papers.WPCC is an open access peer-reviewed journal, published online 
established in 2004 and edited from CAMRI (Communication and Media 
Research Institute) at the University of Westminster by Dr Anthony 
McNicholas and colleagues.WPCC is indexed in many services including 
CrossRef, DOAJ, Clarivate Analytics Emerging Citation Index and others 
accumulating over 250,000 views and downloads since its relaunch in 
Autumn 2015 by the University of Westminster Press.

The interdisciplinary nature of the field of Media and Cultural Studies 
is reflected in the diverse methods, contexts and themes of the papers 
published. Areas of interest include – but are not limited to – the 
history and political economy of the media, popular culture, media users 
and producers, political communication and developments arising from 
digital technologies in the context of an increasingly globalised and 
networked world. Contributions from both established scholars and those 
at the beginning of their academic career are equally welcome.

The open call especially welcomes contributions relating to North 
African, South Asia and Middle Eastern and East Asian Media, or on such 
topics as (but not limited to) AI, Big Data, media management, or topics 
relating to CAMRI’s research and teaching programme. However authors 
should not be deterred from submitting in areas outside these topic 
fields in the broad field of communication, cultural and media studies 
and on emerging topics. In addition to research articles (6,000-8,000 
words), commentary (3,000 to 6,000 words), interviews (1500-3000 words) 
and book reviews (1500-3000 words) will also be considered and audio and 
short video submissions, all with abstracts and keywords as standard.

DEADLINE FOR FULL PAPERS
Full papers are expected by 15 March 2021 submitted to the 
WPCCsubmission system. All research and commentary articles will go 
through double peer-review.

Submissions from authors new to WPCC are required to register in WPCC ‘s 
journal system. Those already registered will need to log-in with a new 
password following a change in the journal’s platform. (There should be 
a link from which to reset your password [‘Forgotten your password 
] that will guide you through the simple process).

Publication dates: end May-July 2021.

WPCC is an open access journal and there are no fees for contributors. 
Published by the University of Westminster Press in conjunction 
with CAMRI. All content in this issue and in its archive is available
