Article Types
Academic manuscripts
The journal of Applied Journalism and Media Business Studies focuses on practical issues media outlets confront today. Its main interest is in research and studies that help media actors – journalists, proprietors and publishers – improve their output. The editors are interested in topics covering problems media outlets face in our digitized world. Contributions from both academics and practitioners are welcome. The editors expect academics to illustrate in their contributions how media and communication theories and paradigms are to be applied to the real world of media firms. The editors expect practitioners – journalists, executives, publishers and proprietors – to write short or long essays on their experiences and the real situations where their activities take place.
JAMS accepts original articles which should not exceed 8000 words in length. Manuscripts should not be currently under review elsewhere. Since the journal does not target professionals only, the articles should be free from jargon and should be written as clearly and concisely as possible to make them readable by media practitioners.
Presentation
Academic manuscripts should be double-spaced throughout (including all quotations and footnotes). Full names of the author(s) should be given, a full address for correspondence, and where possible a contact telephone number. Authors should include an abstract of 100 to 150 words, and 5 key words under which the article should be indexed. Current and recent academic and professional affiliations should be supplied for inclusion in “Notes on Contributors,” together with a list of major publications (with dates and name of publisher) and forthcoming books.
References
Authors should confirm to APA style. Thus authors should use inside reference style rather than footnotes.
As an author, you are required to secure permission if you want to reproduce any type of material, or extract from the text of another source. This applies to direct reproduction as well as “derivative reproduction” (where you have created a new figure or table which derives substantially from a copyrighted source).
Articles from Practitioners
Submissions by media practitioners are not subject to rigorous peer review. The practitioners – journalists, executives, publishers and proprietors – are encouraged to write in their lucid journalistic style short or long essays on their experiences and the real situations where their activities take place.
