Call for Papers

Open Submissions

The journal welcomes abstract, full manuscript and creative practice submissions on a rolling basis submitted to personastudies@gmail.com, and in response to calls for papers around a central theme. We recommend that you review the About the Journal page for the journal's section policies, as well as the Author Guidelines and Peer Review process. Submissions will be vetted by an editor, and if your proposed paper is considered a fit for the journal, you will receive log-in details for the website via email to allow you to submit to the journal website for peer review. Those submissions accepted for publication after peer-review, but which do not fit into a themed issue, will be published in the rolling issue. 

Forthcoming Themed Issues 

Vol. 10, No. 1, 2024

The first issue of 2024 will be edited by Steffan Just (Univeristy of Bonn) and Pascal Rudolf (University of Pottsdam), and themed 'Personas, Popular Music, and Stardom in Transmedia'. The articles in this issue emerge from a conference and therefore the issue will not take outside submissions.

Issue Proposals 

If you would like to propose an issue theme, either for public call for submission or stemming from an event or research group, please contact us at personastudies [at] gmail [dot] com for further details. We recommend allowing 12 months for the issue development process.
