Journal Guide

In the development of multimodal interfaces, this journal offers a standard reference for multidisciplinary work.
As implied by the word Interfaces rather than Interactions in the title, the journal seeks to illustrate verifiable realisations over purely theoretical musings. The journal focuses on multimodal interfaces developed with an emphasis on user-centric design. Thus, usability and architectural considerations are also key targets.

The Journal on the Use of Force and International Law (JUFIL) is a new peer reviewed journal covering all aspects of the law governing the use of force (jus ad bellum), as distinct from other areas of international law relating to security issues, such as International Humanitarian Law or International Criminal Law. The Journal aims to provide a forum for top quality international research into all facets of the law governing the use of force, covering issues such as the nature and scope of the inherent right of self-defence, the use of force authorised by the UN Security Council and force employed for humanitarian purposes. As such, it has a focused mandate, whilst engaging with the 'jus ad bellum' broadly defined, ensuring a wide appeal.

Journalism is a major international, peer-reviewed journal that provides a dedicated forum for articles from the growing community of academic researchers and critical practitioners with an interest in journalism. The journal is interdisciplinary and publishes both theoretical and empirical work and contributes to the social, economic, political, cultural and practical understanding of journalism. It is edited by Howard Tumber and Barbie Zelizer.

Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly (JMCQ) is a quarterly, peer-reviewed journal that focuses on research in journalism and mass communication. Each issue features reports of original investigation, presenting the latest developments in theory and methodology of communication, international communication, journalism history, and social and legal problems.

Journalism Practice provides opportunities for reflective, critical and research-based studies focused on the professional practice of journalism. The emphasis on journalism practice does not imply any false or intellectually disabling disconnect between theory and practice, but simply an assertion that Journalism Practice’s primary concern is to analyse and explore issues of practice and professional relevance. Journalism Practice is an intellectually rigorous journal with all contributions being refereed anonymously by acknowledged international experts in the field. An intellectually lively, but professionally experienced, Editorial Board with a wide-ranging experience of journalism practice advises and supports the Editor.

Journalism Practice is devoted to: the study and analysis of significant issues arising from journalism as a field of professional practice; relevant developments in journalism training and education, as well as the construction of a reflective curriculum for journalism; analysis of journalism practice across the distinctive but converging media platforms of magazines, newspapers, online, radio and television; and the provision of a public space for practice-led, scholarly contributions from journalists as well as academics.

  Journalism Practice’s ambitious scope includes:

• the history of journalism practice;
• the professional practice of journalism;
• journalism training and education;
• journalism practice and new technology;
• journalism practice and ethics; and
• journalism practice and policy.

Journalism Practice complements current trends to expansion in the teaching and analysis of journalism practice within the academy, reflection on the emergence of a reflective curriculum and thereby helps to consolidate journalism as an intellectual discipline within the landscape of higher education.

All articles in Journalism Practice have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymised refereeing by two anonymous referees. Instructions for Authors can be found here. 

"Our field has long needed exactly this journal. Too often, much too often, in other academic journals, the professional practice of journalism is an afterthought - if it is a thought at all. With a distinguished, professionally-oriented, international editorial board, Journalism Practice promises to fill ably the largest void in our field."
Jack Lule, Joseph B. McFadden Distinguished Professor of Journalism, Lehigh University
