Call for papers

The Romanian Journal of Communication and Public Relations (RJCPR) welcomes original contributions from the fields of communication studies, media studies, and public relations, as well as from related areas in the social sciences. RJCPR focuses on media and communication research, and prioritizes studies that tackle recent evolutions in these fields, including those that are technology-driven (e.g. automation, big data, and the use of AI). Prospective authors may submit both empirical and analytical works which have not been published elsewhere, and are not under evaluation with other publications. The papers should be methodologically sound, thoroughly argued, and well crafted. They must not have been published elsewhere or be currently under review for any other publication.

RJCPR also welcomes contributions to its book review section. We accept reviews of important academic books published in English, and we encourage reviews of books published in other European languages. Occasionally, the Journal publishes book symposiums, in which authors discuss their books with reviewers. While in this case review essays are invited by the editors, we do accept proposals, from both prospective reviewers and authors of books.

Submission

Before submitting your paper, please remove identification (meta)data as well as the author(s) name(s) on all pages except the title page of the submitted paper. We prefer files in .doc or .docx formats (MS Word), but we also accept .odt files (LibreOffice Writer).

Submissions must follow the Guidelines for Authors . Manuscripts should be submitted by email to elena.negrea@comunicare.ro . All submissions are desk evaluated. Initiating the peer review process is at the discretion of the editors.
There are no submission or article processing fees (no APCs). All published papers will be available in open access on the journal’s website.

 Timeline

The Journal is issued three times per year, in April, July, and December. Papers may be submitted at any time. Manuscripts selected by the editors will then be peer reviewed as soon as possible. Please note that this process can take up to 3 months from submission.
