[Commlist] CFP: Media & Jornalismo receives articles in continuous flow

The Scopus indexed Media & Jornalismo receives articles in continuous 
flow and accepts proposals for the organization of special issues

Media & Jornalismo <https://impactum-journals.uc.pt/mj/ 
<https://impactum-journals.uc.pt/mj/>>, an internationally recognized 
and Portuguese pioneer journal in the field of Media and Journalism 
Studies (indexed in Scopus and ERIH Plus), invites the national and 
international scientific community to submit articles that fall within 
the thematic scope of the journal and to submit proposals for the 
organization of special issues.

This call for papers and proposals for thematic issues is related to the 
editorial changes that Media & Journalism is implementing and that will 
come into full force in 2024:

1) From the second semester of 2023 onwards, the submission of articles 
will happen in continuous flow, all year round. This measure aims to 
privilege the heterogeneity of themes, responding to a need to cover the 
most salient academic and scientific issues at a given moment, in the 
disciplinary field of communication sciences.

2) From 2024, the continuous flow modality is now accompanied by the 
online first publishing policy, thus reducing the waiting times for 
publication of the different articles that overcome the double-blind 
peer review and ensuring the timely dissemination of the critical 
findings generated that are so important for the systematic accumulation 
of knowledge in the discipline of communication sciences. Articles 
published in the online first publishing modality will continue to 
integrate the Scopus database (in which the journal is indexed) under 
the denomination "Article in Press".  All the articles published in this 
double format, continuous flow and online first publishing, will 
integrate, in due time, and in definitive publication, numbers of the 
journal, which will maintain its biannual periodicity.

3) Also from 2024, all articles accepted for publication will be 
published in a bilingual version (Portuguese and English or Spanish and 
English), the English version being compulsory. The journal seeks, with 
this measure, to internationalize itself and to achieve a different 
dissemination. The costs resulting from the necessary translations 
(Portuguese into English; Spanish into English; English into 
Portuguese), will be borne by the authors of the articles, in a practice 
followed by other important national journals.

4) The free-to-publish policy of submission and the policy of 
consultation at no cost for the reader (free-to-read) will be maintained.

5) The continuous flow of submissions and the online first publishing 
policy do not preclude the organization and publication of special 
issues, whether a) they are proposed to the journal by guest editors 
with recognized research merit, b) they seek to cover a topic that is 
salient in the academic community at the time the proposal is made, and 
c) the proposal is in line with Media & Journalism's editorial strategy 
and main thematic lines. In the case of special issues, the articles 
included and organized by the guest editors are published together and 
immediately after the formatting of the various articles that integrate 
the different special issues.

6) no payment is required from authors // No APC statement, and the 
guidelines are available at
