This year, M/C Journal celebrates its tenth anniversary, and in this special issue we ask: what is the face of publishing today?

We invite submissions that address contemporary cultural/political aspects of publishing, such as recent shifts in print culture, online/open-access publishing, print-on-demand and self-publication, approaches to copyright and intellectual property (e.g., creative commons), the impact of research quality assessments on academic publishing, cross-platform publishing, independent publishing, and so forth. In this era of social networking and continuous peer-review, how has the form of academic publishing shifted and, in a more normative sense, how should it shift? What possible futures can be imagined in publishing and publication and what are the new desires and demands to be "published"? All of these various issues and approaches to the idea of publish will be entertained as we mark M/C Journal's own online publishing milestone.

In 1998, M/C - A Journal of Media and Culture was devised by David Marshall

quality assessments on academic publishing, cross-platform publishing,
independent publishing, and so forth. In this era of social networking and
continuous peer-review, how has the form of academic publishing shifted
and, in a more normative sense, how should it shift? What possible futures
can be imagined in publishing and publication and what are the new desires
and demands to be "published"? All of these various issues and approaches
to the idea of publish will be entertained as we mark M/C Journal's own

The purpose of the magazine is to temporaly shift the gaze of the "reader" from the dominant culture, which, for the group members is mostly a marginal culture. The aim is to expose works from artists from different fields that were conceptualized far from main existing trends. This magazine is published without advertisments and without any official support.
The aim of (H)Earat Shulaym – Journal for Contemporary Art and Heara (comment) events (multidisciplinary events for contemporary art) is to meet new trends on art, artists and public, through the creation of new ways of art exhibition and creation from those that the artistic mainstream institutions propose. The development of this independent work in Jerusalem is a step of the process of deconstructing the centralist Israeli Art map and in the creation of new centers that are independent from the traditional art centers and institutions. In these two projects more than 160 artists took part and more than 230 art works were shown and published.

Journal of Interdisciplinary Music Studies is a biannually published, refereed journal. The journal covers the studies of music sciences, together with the studies of music and sound in the disciplines of humanities, social sciences, cognitive sciences, medical and engineering sciences. Our aim is to establish a wide range of interdisciplinary platform for the scholars studying on music and sound.

The journal accepts submissions of original studies from any academic discipline studying on music and sound such as: ethnomusicology, popular music studies, history of music, music theory, acoustics, anthropology, sociology, psychology, philosophy, communication sciences, linguistics, cognitive sciences, computational sciences, artificial intelligence, biology, neurology and physiology.

Journal of Interdisciplinary Music Studies is published with a limited number of printed versions, only for authors and specified libraries.

Radical Musicology is a peer-reviewed online journal produced in the International Centre for Music Studies at Newcastle University (UK).

Radical Musicology is a peer-reviewed online journal produced in the International Centre for Music Studies at Newcastle University (UK). It was established to provide a forum for progressive thinking across the whole field of musical studies, and encourages work that draws on any and all relevant discipinary and interdisciplinary prespectives.

The journal espouses no particular theoretical line, ideology or programme. However, responding to a perception that the projects going under the names of ‘new’ and ‘critical’ musicology have been succeeded by a certain disciplinary retrenchment or even counter-reaction, we aim to encourage work which explicitly or implicitly interrogates existing paradigms, and which acknowledges that musicological work will always have a political dimension. The politics we favour might be summarised as a desire to democratise the field of the permissible.

Radical Musicology is published in annual volumes, with new content added continuously when available. As well as major academic articles, it includes essay-reviews of particularly significant books, recordings and concerts, and, in the interests of furthering dialogue, also welcomes thoughtful responses to articles.

Please email enquiries@radical-musicology.org.uk for further details or visit http://www.radical-musicology.org.uk/notes.htm for submission guidelines.

They seek a new paradigm of journalism, one that encourages an active dialogue between the author and reader and, also, the subject.

The PixelPress online magazine features projects that use a variety of linear and non-linear strategies, attempting to articulate visions of human possibility even while confirming human frailty. For them, the digital revolution is a revolution in consciousness, not in commerce.

PixelPress works with organizations such as Crimes of War, Human Rights Watch, World Health Organization and UNICEF to create Web sites that deal directly with contemporary issues in complex and innovative ways that circumvent media sensationalism and simplification. They also try to factor in ways that the viewer can help remedy social problems, rather than remain a spectator. Recently we completed a site focusing on how to end polio worldwide; another trying to aid an orphanage in Rwanda; one trying to reclaim the Brazilian forest; and a site featuring the images of photographers from the Vietnam War. And they also create books with photographers such as Machiel Botman, Kent Klich and Sebastião Salgado on social themes, as well as traveling exhibitions using both digital and conventional processes.

As such, the journal will speak both implicitly and explicitly to key debates across varied disciplines, including issues of globalization, mobility, power, and access. Operating at the intersection of culture, creativity, and technology, the journal focuses on the myriad ways technology shapes, transforms, reconfigures, and/or impedes social relations, both in the past and in the present. This investigation at the intersection of technology and culture is not simply thematic. Rather, Vectors is realized in multimedia, melding form and content to enact a second-order examination of the mediation of everyday life. Utilizing a peer-reviewed format and under the guidance of an international board, Vectors will feature submissions and specially-commissioned works comprised of moving- and still-images; voice, music, and sound; computational and interactive structures; social software; and much more. Vectors doesn't seek to replace text; instead, we encourage a fusion of old and new media in order to foster ways of knowing and seeing that expand the rigid text-based paradigms of traditional scholarship. In so doing, we aim to explore the immersive and experiential dimensions of emerging scholarly vernaculars. Visit the Vectors Journal website @ http://www.vectorsjournal.org
