Call for Papers & Abstracts — International Conference on Communication and Media Studies
Our call for papers in communication and media studies invites researchers, educators and practitioners to submit abstracts for presentation in Oxford on 14–16 May 2027. We welcome empirical studies, theoretical and critical work, computational analyses, qualitative and ethnographic research, systematic reviews, practice-based research and evaluations of media policy and professional practice from any country. The call is open to doctoral candidates, early-career researchers and established scholars alike.
Submitting is straightforward. You submit an abstract of 150–250 words with three to five keywords and choose how you would like to present: orally, with a poster, or live online. A full paper is optional at this stage. If you would like your work considered for the proceedings, you can include the full paper with your abstract or send it later, by 6 June 2027.
Each abstract receives double-blind peer review under the oversight of the Scientific Committee, and you receive the decision by email within 7–14 business days. Authors of accepted abstracts then register to confirm their presentation; final registration closes on 4 May 2027. Because decisions are made on a rolling basis and registration closes soon after the abstract deadline, we strongly recommend submitting well before the deadline, so that you have time to receive your decision, register and plan your travel.
Once accepted and registered, you present your work and your abstract is published in the ISBN Abstract Book. Full papers that pass double-blind peer review are published in the proceedings with an ISSN and a DOI. Selected full papers may be considered for publication opportunities in Scopus-indexed journals; final acceptance depends on paper quality and the decision of journal editors.
Yes. Submit each paper separately. If more than one of your papers is accepted, additional papers can be added to your registration for an additional paper fee.
Is a full paper required?
No. An abstract is enough for review and presentation.
