- W2032036729 abstract "The Catalan Journal of Communication & Cultural Studies (CJCS) had its genesis in casual conversations among the members of the Department of Communication Studies at the Rovira i Virgili University in Tarragona during the years 2007 and 2008. We were certainly excited about the idea of publishing a quality academic journal, yet it was difficult to find answers to questions such as: why should we launch a new journal? Would this journal meet with any interest in our field? What would it add to the already existing publications? Would any publisher be interested in the Catalan cultural field? Among all these uncertainties the only thing that was quite clear to us was that times had changed: communication and cultural studies within the Catalan context was now a richer reality than five years before; the rules of the university system were now demanding higher levels of quality in their evaluation of scholarship; and the need to internationalize academic output was more pressing than ever. But how could we bring this project to fruition? Around that time we received a communication from Intellect looking for new journal proposals. Without thinking twice, we looked for national and international alliances, we worked out the focus and scope of the journal and we began to write up the project. Two decisions were already taken: it must be a blind peer-reviewed journal following the standard academic practice regarding the selection of articles for inclusion, and it must be an English-language publication. The reason for these conditions was that no other completely blind peer-reviewed journal produced with the backing of a Catalan academic institution such as Rovira i Virgili University was available in English in the field of communication and cultural studies. We submitted the project to Intellect’s 2009 call for journals and, a few weeks later, we received a positive reply from the publishers. This, in our view, proves two things: on the one hand, Intellect’s commitment to seeking out and fostering new ideas and niches in the academic field and, on the other, of the growing stature and confidence in Catalan culture and society in the international sphere. We had the feeling that scholarship in the cultural and social disciplines in Catalonia had been too inward looking for too long, and the time had come to raise our heads and look around us. But let us explain what CJCS is about, and what are we proposing with the journal." @default.
