Scholastica has announced the launch of a new University of California Press journal, Media+Environmemt, using its platform. The journal will explore the nexus between digital media platforms and environments as media, and is using Scholastica’s open access publishing platform for website hosting and design as well as Scholastica’s peer review system and end-to-end typesetting service.
Media+Environment is a fully open access interdisciplinary humanities journal. The journal is free to read and free to publish in and uses a CC BY 4.0 licence for all articles. Articles are available in PDF and HTML, as well as full-text XML, enabling text and data mining. Media+Environment was founded by UC Press in partnership with the Carsey-Wolf Center and the Division of Humanities and Fine Arts at the University of California, Santa Barbara; the University of Vermont; and Monash University.
Media+Environment is now publishing and accepting submissions. The journal also has an active blog, including calls for submissions within thematic streams.
In addition to launching Media+Environment using Scholastica, UC Press is working with Scholastica as a partner peer review software and typesetting service provider for some of its other journals, including Case Studies in the Environment, Civic Sociology, and Global Perspectives.
