The Global Media Journal – German Edition encourages national and international media scholars, media professionals, and graduate students to submit scholarly articles, critical essays, graduate research results, book reviews, and opinion pieces related to International and Intercultural Communication. Submission and processing of articles are free of charge according to our Open Access policy.
Submission Criteria
The journal welcomes themes that explore the broad boundaries of communication and media studies, especially in relation to international and intercultural communication studies, including, but not limited to print media, broadcasting, radio, information and communication technologies, alternative media, political communication, journalism, and research methodologies. In consultation with the Advisory Board, Editors select proposed topics. Accordingly, Guest-Editors and Special Editions are welcome and can be submitted to the editorial board.
All manuscripts submitted to GMJ-DE should meet the standards of good academic practice. Furthermore, those manuscripts should be original and not under consideration for another publication while being reviewed.
To facilitate the editorial process as well as the cooperation with our authors, the editorial board compiled the following style guide:
