    The ECREA Book Series Committee invites the submission of open access book proposals for the Palgrave Studies in European Communication Research and Education.

    The Book Series aims to provide a diverse overview of the work of ECREA members and working groups, showcasing a diversity of topics and areas within the field of contemporary media and communication research, and addressing this diversity from a variety of interdisciplinary perspectives, and through promoting collaborative research of our members, either within or between ECREA Sections, Networks and Temporary Working Groups (S/N/TWGs).

    The selection procedure consists of two steps:

    Step 1: Editors propose a topic for the volume. The proposals should contain: the names, affiliation, and a brief CV (maximum of 1 page of A4) for each of the editors, the title of the proposed volume, and a rationale (maximum of 1000 words). 

    The ECREA Book Series Committee evaluates the proposals, decides on the acceptance for Step 2, and provides recommendations for the structure of the book.

    Step 2: If selected, the editors launch a call for abstracts and then select abstracts and submit an extended book proposal. The ECREA Book Series Committee evaluates the proposal, and, if necessary, provides recommendations for additional authors and perspectives for the chapters. Step 2 is competitive; at the end of the process, the ECREA Book Series Committee selects the proposal to be published as an open access book.


    WHAT are we seeking?

    ECREA Book Series Publications need to have a clear theme or focus. 

    We are looking for timely and cutting-edge topics from the field of communication, as covered by ECREA.

    ECREA Book Series Publications aim to promote European media and communication research. We are seeking proposals that have a strong European dimension either by virtue of inclusion of regionally and ethnically diverse voices and cases, or by virtue of comparative research. Proposals should attempt to bridge the divides between regional and linguistic academic communities and strive to secure regional (East/West/North/South) balance of contributors and/or analysed cases. Proposals can include a limited number of authors who are not ECREA members and provide insights beyond European perspective (see details below). 

    ECREA Book Series Publications aim to promote collaborative research. The series publishes edited volumes. Single author monographs or monographs from a limited number of authors or authors based at the same institution will not be considered for publication. Proposals resulting from work within ECREA S/N/TWGs as well as those resulting from collaboration between ECREA S/N/TWGs are particularly encouraged. Proposals resulting from S/N/TWGs events or international projects are welcomed if the thematic coherence and the European dimension of the topic are apparent. Proposals where the work comes from members of one institution or predominantly form one national academic community are not considered for publication.

    We are seeking original, previously unpublished work. Inclusion of previously published work is accepted under condition that the work has previously not been published in English or was published in now mainly inaccessible outlets. In such cases, editors of accepted proposals will be required to acquire permissions to translate or republish the work (without any extra costs to the Book Series).

    WHO is invited to submit?

    The book series primarily promotes the work of ECREA members although a degree of openness towards non-ECREA members is also considered if the added value to the Book Series is evident. 

    At least 50% of the chapters need to originate from current ECREA members (individual members, or members through an institutional membership). At least 50% of the editors need to be current ECREA members. These conditions need to be met at the latest when the proposal is accepted.

    Please note that ECREA Executive Board members cannot be editors of the books in ECREA book series but can serve as authors of the chapters. The Book Series editors cannot contribute to the content of the books in the ECREA book series in any way.

    What is the DEADLINE for submissions?

    Deadline for proposals in the first step are to be sent to the series editors by email to info@ecrea.eu by 31 October 2024 (deadline extended).  

    HOW to submit the proposal?

    The proposals in step 1 should contain: the names, affiliation, and a brief CV (maximum of 1 page of A4) for each of the editors, the topic and the title of the proposed volume, and a rationale (maximum of 1000 words). 

    Proposals in step 2 include extended abstracts for all contributions, introductory and concluding chapter.

    QUESTIONS and queries?

    Should you have any further questions concerning the Book Series call, please email the Book Series Editors at info@ecrea.eu.

    During the conference in Ljubljana, ECREA invites you to participate in the ECREA Interventions that will be held on September 26, where experts will explore the evolving landscape of academic publishing. The discussion will begin with participants sharing their experiences in publishing and getting published, focusing on both the successes and the obstacles they’ve encountered. The panel will then delve into critical issues such as identifying predatory journals, the impact of new open-review models on journal publishing, and the future of print and digital formats in book publishing. The session will also consider how ECREA can further support its members and contribute to the broader academic community.

    In addition to the ECREA Interventions, the conference offers a diverse program featuring plenary sessions, special panels, and special workshops. For more details, please visit: https://ecrea2024ljubljana.eu/ecrea-interventions/

    Keynote speaker and renowned scholars Vesna Leskošek and Jelena Kleut will address critical issues in their keynote lectures at the upcoming ECREA 2024 conference, offering insights into the challenges facing contemporary societies, their social and media systems.

    On Tuesday, September 24, Vesna Leskošek will delve into the precarious state of the welfare system in her keynote lecture titled “Communicating the Welfare State through a Discourse on Welfare Fraud,” held at Cankarjev dom’s Gallus Hall. Leskošek will explore the subtle dismantling of the welfare state, driven by campaigns against alleged benefit fraud. She argues that these campaigns, which stigmatize welfare recipients and spread mistrust, threaten the very fabric of social order by undermining the redistributive role of the state and fuelling populist ideologies.

    On Thursday, September 26, Jelena Kleut will discuss “The Interplay of Uncertainties in Transitional Media Systems” at the Faculty of Social Sciences. Her lecture will examine the growing uncertainties in media environments shaped by institutional failures, global platforms, and structural inequalities. Drawing from research conducted with students in the Western Balkans and local Serbian communities, Kleut will highlight how both top-down and bottom-up uncertainties shape the public’s trust in media and their ability to navigate information in an era of disinformation and crisis.
