Call for papers from Marquette Books LLC:
Eight new open access communication journals that allow scholars to keep the copyright to their submissions are seeking high quality submissions for 2008 issues and beyond.
They are Journal of Global Mass Communication, Russian Journal of Communication, Journal of Health & Mass Communication, Journal of Media Law & Ethics, American Journal of Media Psychology, Journal of Communication Studies, Journal of Media Sociology and International
Journal of Media and Foreign Affairs. Several journals are publishing special issues. More information about the journals and how to submit can be found at www.marquettejournals.org
In addition to being available electronically at no charge to the public, the journals will be published in hard copy form for distribution to library and individual subscribers. The hard copy
subscription rates are 50% to 80% lower than comparable scholarly journals. The first issues will be published in January/February 2008.
Works published in the journals will have maximum exposure to academic and public channels. The contents of each issue will be e-mailed to more than 45,000 librarians, scholars, citizens,
journalists and policy makers around the world.
Most major scholarly journals in the field of communication are available only through paid subscription. Almost all conventional publishers also require submitters to relinquish the copyright to their works. Publishers often earn royalties from the works, but the authors do not. In contrast, scholars who publish in Marquette Books journals keep the copyright to their articles, which means they may republish, resell or distribute their articles at will.
