Discourse, Context & Media
Discourse, Context & Media is an international journal dedicated to exploring the full range of contemporary discourse work into mediated forms of communication in context. What does DCM seek?Original articles that deal with systematic analysis of discourse in mediated context.Articles that provide new insights and broaden our understanding of mediated discourse.Papers that are primarily interested in mediated discourse, language and communication, rather than in the operation of digital / news / social media solely from the points of view of journalism, communication studies, psychology, cultural studies, history etc.What is Mediated Discourse Research?Emphasizes the impact of media affordances on shaping discourse.Explores technology’s influence on communication.Goes beyond media transmission to understand how mediated contexts affect discourse interpretation.Seeks broader implications of mediation on discourse practices. Mediation refers to how media, platform affordances and/or technology affect the creation, transmission, and interpretation of discourse and communication practices.Engages in actual discourse analysis of linguistic (including multimodal) data collected from mediated contexts.Uses various methods with the aim of understanding mediation.What is NOT Mediated Discourse Research?Merely focusing on media without considering their influence on discourse.Superficia... analysis of discourse data that just happen to be collected from a media platform.Solely critiquing media coverage without addressing the role of mediation.Neglecting the influence of mediation on ideological and cultural dimensions of discourse.Merely applying existing methodologies to new sets of discourse data on a new platform.Discussing theoretical notions without carrying out actual discourse analysis of data.Focusing on specific (linguistic) concepts (e.g. hedging) rather than seeing how such concepts can help us understand the processes of mediation.Simply using content analysis, sentiment analysis, appraisal analysis, statistical analysis, critical discourse analysis, conversation analysis, etc. to describe sets of data without paying regard to the broader issues identified aboveComparative studies contrasting two or more datasets (linguistic, cultural) that deal with a particular feature without linking the findings/explanation to mediationGeneral recommendationsWhile various types of technology-mediated discourses, typically originating in social media, digital media, and news media, will provide much research data for papers that are within the scope of the journal, the journal is not limited only to such types of data.Similarly, not all research on digital media will be automatically relevant for the journal.We encourage authors to pay close attention to “What is NOT mediated Discourse Research” above as not clearly understanding this has been the major source of rejections. Please note that we no longer publish studies that compare news reports on the same topic from two regions/news outlets. If you are in doubt, please contact the editors prior to submission to check whether your paper is generally in scope of the journal.

Drug and Alcohol Dependence
An International Journal on Biomedical and Psychosocial Approaches Sponsored by the College on Problems of Drug DependenceDrug and Alcohol Dependence is an international journal devoted to publishing original research, scholarly reviews, commentaries, and policy analyses in the area of drug, alcohol and tobacco use and dependence. Articles range from studies of the chemistry of substances of abuse, their actions at molecular and cellular sites, in vitro and in vivo investigations of their biochemical, pharmacological and behavioural actions, laboratory-based and clinical research in humans, substance abuse treatment and prevention research, and studies employing methods from epidemiology, sociology, and economics.The rationale for this extensive coverage is the conviction that drug, alcohol and tobacco use/dependence cannot be understood in their entirety from a single perspective and that without an understanding of other areas of research, studies by individual investigators may be limited. The goal of the journal is to provide researchers, clinicians, and policy makers access to material from all perspectives in a single journal in a format that is understandable and which has received rigorous editorial review. The hope of its editors is to promote mutual understanding of the many facets of drug abuse to the benefit of all investigators involved in drug and alcohol research, and to facilitate the transfer of scientific findings to successful treatment and prevention practices.The accepted abbreviation for Drug and Alcohol Dependence for bibliographic citation is Drug Alcohol Depend.Drug and Alcohol Dependence is currently being distributed to all the members of the College on Problems of Drug Dependence (CPDD), the oldest scientific organization in the United States concerned with research on problems of drug dependence. Members of the CPDD are provided with both the print version as well as access to the full text of the current issue and back issues dating back to Vol. 46, Issue no. 1 of the online version as a benefit of membership.The College on Problems of Drug Dependence (CPDD), formerly the Committee on Problems of Drug Dependence, has been in existence since 1929 and is the longest standing group in the United States addressing problems of drug dependence and abuse. From 1929 until 1976, the CPDD was associated with the National Academy of Sciences, National Research Council. Since 1976, the organization has functioned as an independent body affiliated with other scientific and professional societies representing various disciplines concerned with problems of drug dependence and abuse. In 1991, the CPDD evolved into a membership organization with the new name of College on Problems of Drug Dependence.CPDD serves as an interface among governmental, industrial and academic communities maintaining liaisons with regulatory and research agencies as well as educational, treatment, and prevention facilities in the drug abuse field. It also functions as a collaborating center of the World Health Organization.
