About the Series
Cambridge Elements in Politics and
Communication publishes research focused on the
intersection of media, technology, and politics. The series emphasizes
forward-looking reviews of the field, path-breaking theoretical and
methodological innovations, and the timely application of social-scientific
theory and methods to current developments in politics and communication around
the world.
Individual Elements contributions are at a
length (20,000-30,000 words) that is longer than a journal article but shorter
than a book. This length allows for more scope and depth than is available
through the article format while also enabling authors to write on a shorter
timeline than would be feasible with a scholarly book. Elements publish within
12 weeks of acceptance after full peer review.
Communication technologies are constantly
changing, affecting and in response to the political environment. The
accelerated publication speed possible in the Elements series will enable
authors to quickly communicate innovative scholarship focused on current trends
and enduring questions in media and politics.
