Aims, scope and focus
Significacao Revista de Cultura Audiovisual is published by Universidade de São Paulo. By OpenAlex counts of its recent articles, its largest topics are Cinema History and Criticism, Visual Culture and Art Theory and Cinema and Media Studies, together about 48.9% of its articles. Its main subfields are Visual Arts and Performing Arts. (generated from OpenAlex topic counts and CAS ranking data)
Significação – Revista de Cultura Audiovisual publishes articles, essays, reviews, and interviews dedicated to studying the media and audiovisual processes and systems by the diverse practices and ideas entailed by their processes of reflection, creation, production, and dissemination. The editorial board defines the interviews and translations. The journal has adopted the continuous publication of papers, which means that all papers are published into a single annual volume which will fill throughout the year as each new paper is published. It invites unpublished original articles (from individual and collective authorship) written by PhDs and doctoral students, in a continuous flow system. Articles that have been previously published in annals of scientific events can be accepted as long as they have undergone revision. Review articles can be submitted by master's students and must address recent studies. That is: the publication year of the reviewed study must be the same or, at most, two years prior to the edition intending to submit the review. Articles submitted for publication must not have been submitted to any other publication. We suggest that neither author nor eventual co-authors have, at submission, any publication within the three prior issues of our journal. The journal is directed at the academic community interested in the different forms of articulation and expression of audiovisual culture, in terms of its historical dimension, and by an interdisciplinary approach. Significação – Revista de Cultura Audiovisual is released in the first month of each publication period.
