Colleagues may be interested in the launch of Bath Spa University's new
practice-based research journal:
*International Journal of Creative Media Research *
*www.creativemediaresearch.org* <http://www.creativemediaresearch.org>
We are very pleased to introduce the *International Journal of Creative
Media Research*, which is founded and hosted by The Centre for Media
Research at Bath Spa University. The mission statement of the *International
Journal of Creative Media Researc*h is to be an interdisciplinary,
peer-reviewed and open access journal devoted to pushing forward the
approaches to and possibilities for publishing creative media-based
research.
Championing critical rigour and creative reflection, the journal
will specialise in capturing the emerging tools, approaches and methods of
practice-based and practice-led research. It will publish original
screen-based, sound-based, time-based and experiential forms of creative
media research, spanning works of film, music, media art, creative and
digital writing, curation practice, multiplatform and ludic artefacts that
contribute to fields across Media and Game Studies, Communication and
Cultural Studies, Art and Design, Music, Creative Writing, Drama, Dance,
Performing Arts, Film and Screen Studies, or Education.
We will publish two issues a year: one an open call that publishes on any
topic relevant to the journal’s scope, the other a themed special issue
with a guest editor that contributes new research to one of The Centre for
Media Research’s three areas of specialism: Digital Materialities, Film &
Social Context, or Play & Multiplatform. Essentially, we are interested in
receiving submissions from researchers who want to have a voice in shaping
the future of creative media-based research.
In seeking to push forward approaches to publishing creative media-based
research, the journal will also make use of Bath Spa's MediaWall
<https://www.creativemediaresearch.org/mediawall-award> - an architectural
scale portrait format gallery, consisting of ten 55” panels and standing 4
meters wide and 7.5 meters tall - by establishing an annual *Award in
Creative Media Research*, also to be judged by our international editorial
board, which will provide creatives with a chance to produce, curate and
disseminate creative media-based research for a unique platform and
audience at Bath Spa University. Applicants must submit a 300-word
statement that outlines the research question, the methodology or approach,
and clarifies how the MediaWall’s aesthetic form augments the aims of the
research.
Our journal has a registered ISSN, will be indexed in the Directory of Open
Access Journals, and will assign all published submissions with a DOI
(Digital Object Identifier). It also shares an affiliation with the MeCCSA
Practice Network <http://www.meccsa.org.uk/networks/practice-network/>,
which champions practice within the UK's Media, Communications and Cultural
Studies Association, ensuring that those that teach and research practice
across the academy have a strong voice within the subject association.
*CFP: IJCMR - Open Call*
We are now accepting submissions, and authors have a choice of four
innovative practice-based submission categories to choose from:
- *Single-Piece Explorations* (single video or audio piece accompanied
by 1,500 word research statement)
- *Multi-Piece Portfolios* (mixed media video, image and audio pieces
accompanied by 3,000 word route-map)
- *Practice Discoveries* (6,000 word article accompanied by relevant
video, audio, imagery)
- *Audio-Visual Reviews* (5 minute essay film reviewing a chosen
academic work)
Watch out for the inaugural curated issue of the journal in the coming
months, which will showcase the research of our international editorial
board, but for now you can visit the pre-launch - though fully functioning
- version of the journal here:
