Submissions

The Media Psychology Review is an open-access academic online journal published under the Media Psychology Research Center. The Media Psychology Review’s goal is to promote media psychology as an interdisciplinary and emerging field by bridging the research-practice gap. Media Psychology is continually evolving and includes legacy and digital technologies, information flows and manipulation, big data, algorithms persuasion, mobile engagement, trends on popular culture, and social technologies.  Far beyond “media effects,” media psychology addresses questions of user behaviors, content creation, impact, structural design, and social influence.  The rapid evolution of the digital landscape provides opportunities to reexamine the applicability of accepted wisdom and findings to our complex digital world. We invite scholars, practitioners, faculty, and students to share their research and visions.

Please email your submission and any supporting materials to Editor@mprcenter.org . You may also contact us through the website contact form.

All entries will be peer-reviewed. Please include a cover letter with your manuscript.  There is no submission fee.  Authors will be notified by email with an explanation and brief suggestions but we do not provide referee reports.

Because the MPRC is published electronically, we accept and publish submissions on a rolling basis.
