CY 34 is a forum for the exchange of interdisciplinary and internationally diverse scholarship relating to communication in its many forms. Specifically, we are seeking state-of-the-discipline literature reviews and essays that advance knowledge and understanding of communication systems, processes, and impacts. Submitted manuscripts should provide a rigorous assessment of the status, critical issues and needed directions of a theory or body of research; offer new theory; and/or expand the boundaries of the discipline. In all cases, submissions should be comprehensive and thoughtful in their synthesis and analysis, and situate a body of scholarship within a larger intellectual context.
A distinguishing characteristic of CY 34 will be its strong international orientation. Associate editors from six continents and editorial board members from twenty countries will help ensure that the volume is global in scope. Each published manuscript will include a response from a scholar working on a different continent in an allied area. Another distinguishing characteristic of CY 34 is that it can accommodate submissions of up to 60 pages, which allows for in-depth treatment of a topic (though more concise submissions are welcomed as well).
Manuscripts should be submitted electronically via a Word attachment to Charles T. Salmon, Editor, CY 34, at CY34@msu.edu no later than January 15, 2009. Early submissions are welcomed. Only completed manuscripts will be considered for review. The volume is scheduled to appear in print in May, 2010.
All submissions must be prepared in advance for blind review, with all identifying aspects removed. The title page must be submitted as a separate word document, and should include all contact information (i.e., mailing address, e-mail address, telephone number, and fax number) for all authors as well as a list of keywords that will help in the identification of appropriate reviewers. Potential contributors may certainly review relevant literature published in any language, but submissions must be written in English and adhere stylistically to APA, 5th edition.
