SNCR issues a call for papers twice each year for the peer-reviewed Journal of New Communications Research. All are welcome to submit their original, previously unpublished works to our editorial review committee for consideration. 

Submissions should be based on original empirical research, as well as pieces focusing on the theory, strategy and tactical use of ICT, new media, social media and collaborative tools. Submissions should be in keeping with the mission of the SNCR: to conduct advanced study on the tools, technologies and emerging modes of communication and their effect on media, business, politics, entertainment, culture, education and society. 

Successful submissions will exhibit in-depth, professional/scholarly examinations of these topics, and will be reviewed and chosen based on the quality of research conducted, originality of content, relevance to the Society’s mission and excellence of execution. 

Original Works. Submissions that have been previously posted or published in whole or in part will not be considered for inclusion. SNCR requests exclusive rights to selected papers for six months after publication of the JNCR. 

Literature Review. Research papers should include a literature review.

Format. Please submit written works in a Word or text file. All text, including title, headings, references, quotations, figure captions and tables should be typed double-spaced with one-inch margins. Please use a font size of 12. 

Length. Manuscripts, including all references, tables and figures, should be approximately 3,500-5,000 words, and should not exceed 7,500 words. Submissions that significantly exceed this limit may not be accepted for review. Tables and figures are encouraged. 

Style. For writing and editorial style, authors should follow APA guidelines (the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association). All text pages should be numbered. 

Abstract & Keywords. All submissions should include a written abstract of 250 words or less and some keywords. The keywords will be used by readers to search for your article after it is published.
