Call for Papers & Abstracts — International Conference on Communication and Media Studies

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.

Abstract submission closes on 23 April 2027.

What Acceptance Leads To

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.

Can I submit more than one abstract?
