- Additional information
- APRJA is an annual open-access research journal (of which Cox is co-founder and co-editor) produced in collaboration with Transmediale festival for art and digital culture in Berlin. The title “A Peer-Reviewed Journal About” invites the addition of a specific research topic to complete the full title of each issue, addressing the annual festival theme, and following an iterative form: following an open call released through Transmediale, participants collaborate online, and join a research workshop to exchange ideas. Subsequently they produce short articles for a (newspaper) publication distributed at the festival, alongside a public event, held at Haus der Kulteren der Welt, Berlin. Researchers are then invited to develop longer scientific papers for the online journal. The aim is to promote research by a new generation of researchers and promote the very latest thinking in the field.
The overall aim of APRJA is to publish new research that promotes open access but without losing sight of rigorous academic conventions of peer-review. Since 2014, all submissions are anonymized and distributed to independent qualified experts via our advisory board and extended networks. The combined sharing of work online, as part of the workshop and the public presentation at Transmediale further qualifies the academic rigour of submissions through peer critique.
The partnership with Transmediale, the foremost festival for art and digital culture in Europe, brings the journal widespread attention, and an engaged specialist audience and readership. In addition, each issue of the journal is underpinned by wider partnerships with other key institutions to form an expanding network of collaboration: Kunsthal Aarhus (2014); City University Hong Kong (2015); Liverpool John Moores University & Liverpool Biennial (2016); Constant Association for Art and Media, Brussels (2017); Brandenburg Center for Media Studies – ZeM, Potsdam (2018); CRASSH, University of Cambridge (2019); Global Emergent Media Lab, Concordia University (2020).
