[Commlist] CFP: Communication & Sport - Call for Special Issue Proposals

Communication & Sport Call for Special Issue Proposals

Communication & Sport, a bi-monthly research journal published by SAGE 
Publishing in association with the International Association for 
Communication and Sport (IACS) and International Communication 
Association (ICA), invites proposals for two guest-edited special 
issues. Now in its 11th year of publication, Communication & Sport has 
established itself as a leading journal at the nexus of 
communication/media studies and sport studies.  Please visit the journal 
website for more information about its Aims & Scope, the Editorial 
Board, guidelines for articles, and sample issues at 
https://journals.sagepub.com/home/com.
This is an open call, in which the journal is soliciting 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 by prospective guest editors of special issues will be 
reviewed by Co-Editors Andrew Billings and Marie Hardin, and the 
journal’s associate editors, 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 
the journal editors.  Up to two proposals will be selected from among 
those submitted, one for manuscript submissions in 2024, and the other 
for manuscript submissions in 2025. Selected special issue editors will 
be notified by mid-August 2023. There's no payment from the editors and 
the authors required.

Proposals should be sent to (commandsporteditors /at/ gmail.com) by July 1, 
2023, with C&S Special Issue Proposal 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. How the proposed issue would advance new, understudied areas in the 
field.
8. Academic qualifications and editorial experience of the proposed 
editor(s).

Please ensure that this information is included on a separate page and 
that no information identifying the proposed editors is found elsewhere 
in the proposal.
