Journal of Media Practice

Volume 9 Number 1 2008

The Journal of Media Practice is a peer-reviewed publication that

addresses the field of practical work in media industries, art, education

and research. It aims to build a profile of established and innovative

approaches to media practice in those contexts, and to provide an inter-

disciplinary forum where practice in one field stimulates thinking in

another.

The Journal encourages analysis of practical work located on the

shifting boundaries between existing and emerging media forms (film,

television, video, multimedia, the Web) in their many and varied con-

texts. It explores paths that connect education with creative and industry-

oriented practice. This forum is intended for a readership of teachers,

researchers, critics and media practitioners and artists.

Members of the Editorial Board and the Advisory Panel have a

common commitment to the achievement of academic and professional

ends through means centred on practical work. The Journal is edited at

the Department of Media Arts, Royal Holloway, University of London.

Editorial notes

for contributors

I General

Scope

The Journal of Media Practice addresses the field

of practical media teaching and research,

including creative and professional production,

in further and higher education. Considerable

expertise now exists in the design and delivery

of educational programmes centred on a

practical engagement with media forms.

However, there have been few effective ways in

which teachers, researchers and practitioners

with a commitment to developing practical

approaches within academic disciplines have

been able to circulate ideas and accounts of

their work.

In this context, the Journal aims to build a

profile of established and innovative practical

approaches to teaching and research, providing

an inter-disciplinary forum where practice in

one field will stimulate thinking in another. It

will encourage analysis of practical work

located on the shifting boundaries between

existing and emerging media forms, and

explore paths that connect education with

creative and industry-oriented practice.

‘Articles’ for peer review

One important role of the Journal is to provide

the opportunity for peer-review publication of

articles submitted in a research context. These

are evaluated on the basis of the HEFCE criteria

(see Appendix) and published in the ‘Articles’

section. Articles should be between 3000-5000

words.

Anonymity is accorded to both authors and

referees. Referees, normally chosen for their

expertise within the subject area, are asked to

comment on specialist content, on comprehen-

sibility and on relevant contexts. A summary of

the referees’ comments will be provided,

whether or not the article is accepted for

publication.

‘Contexts and Debates’

The Journal is equally committed to providing a

forum for debate of current issues and a

platform for speculative thinking - such work

appears in the ‘Contexts and Debates’ section.

Submissions for this section should be between

1500-3000 words.

Reviews and Reports

Reviews of relevant books, media projects,

conferences and festivals are also welcome, and

should be about 500 words long.

Copy deadlines

The Journal is published three times a year. The

first number of any Volume is published in

February, the second in June and the third in

October, with copy deadlines at the end of

September (No. 1), end of January (No. 2) and

end of May (No. 3).

A Research Context for Articles

Submissions for the ‘Articles’ section of the journal should take account

of the Higher Education Funding Council for England [HEFCE] current

research criteria. In abbreviated form, these include one or more of the

following:

– Original investigation undertaken in order to gain knowledge and

understanding (with direct relevance to the needs of commerce,

industry, the public and voluntary sectors);

– Scholarship. The creation, development and maintenance of the

intellectual infrastructure of subjects and disciplines, in forms such as

scholarly editions, catalogues and contributions to major research

databases;

– The invention and generation of ideas, images, performances and

artefacts including design, where these lead to new or substantially

improved insights;

– The use of existing knowledge in experimental development to

produce new or substantially improved devices, products and

processes, including design and construction.

The definition of research excludes accounts of routine analysis of

processes as distinct from the development of new analytical techniques.

It also excludes accounts of the development of teaching materials that

do not embody original research.
