New Palgrave/IAMCR book series announcement

IAMCR launches a new books series - “Global Transformations in Media and 
Communication Research” — an IAMCR and Palgrave McMillan Publishers 
cooperation. IAMCR President Janet Wasko signed the contract for this 
series with Palgrave in early February 2014.

The series is seeking to address the challenges posed by fast evolving 
communication developments in a connected world. It aims to capture 
creative and trans-disciplinary approaches in exploring these 
challenges. It also provides a venue for collecting state of the art, 
sound and innovative scholarly perspectives on specific aspects of 
communication transformations.

The new series encourages and promotes publication of research on 
critical communication and media concerns from a variety of theoretical 
and methodological approaches. It intends to facilitate a dialogue that 
reflects diverse geo-cultural perspectives and scientific traditions; 
and encourages the presentation of collectively produced knowledge 
authored by members of the IAMCR — our unique, truly international 
academic association.

Volumes in the series are expected to be mostly edited publications, 
bringing together plural voices reflecting the challenges and 
complexities of today’s communication and media developments. IAMCR 
Sections and Working Groups, which organize and host systematic and 
sustained platforms for intellectual exchange, harbor valuable 
intellectual capital and therefore, in their meetings and other 
exchanges, provide unique opportunities for publishing debates and 
research on key issues.

In an effort to make the richness and quality of communication research 
in other languages than English available to English-speaking 
international scholarly communities, one volume per year will be a 
translated work. In line with IAMCR’s efforts to be as inclusive as 
possible in the global arena, partial support for translation will be 
provided by the Association.

Publishing within the “Global Transformations in Media and Communication 
Research” series offers editors and authors the added value of rigorous 
review process, a channel for smooth cooperation with a major publishing 
company and recognition by an international scholarly community while 
contributing to IAMCR goals of fostering plurality of voices in 
understanding global communications.

The composition of the Advisory Board reflects the geographic 
representation of IAMCR’s membership. A number of IAMCR members are 
invited to be part of the Board.

The first volume in the series will be published in May 2014, to be 
followed by a number of other titles to be announced in the course of  
2014 and 2015.

The new series’ editors are Marjan de Bruin and Claudia Padovani, 
currently Co-chairs of the Association’s Publication Committee.



Submitting proposals for Publication:

Series’ editors are inviting particularly IAMCR Sections Heads and 
Working Groups Chairs to submit proposals for the new series. Editors of 
relevant work published in languages other than English are also invited 
to submit proposals (including details about availability of translation 
costs).

The form to be used for submitting book proposals are available through 
the following link: here (2nd proposal form link – for use with 
scholarly proposals). Detailed instruction and information about the 
submission, review and editorial process will soon be available on the 
Publication Committee webpage.

and Claudia Padovani ((claudia.padovani /at/ unipd.it))
