This post is also available in: Deutsch

Last week the first issue of the Journal of Quantitative Description: Digital Media was published on the UZH publication platform HOPE. The journal publishes quantitative descriptive social science. It does not publish research that makes causal claims. The journal focuses on evidence that speaks to some substantive question or trend about digital communication processes and media.

The journal has an international editorial team with UZH participation of Eszter Hargittai from the Department of Communication and Media Research at the University of Zurich. The Advisory Board and the Editorial Board of the Journal are also very international.

The first issue with 18 Open Access articles can be read here: https://journalqd.org/issue/view/vol2021

Before submitting a new contribution, a letter of inquiry of max. 500 words should first be submitted on what is being described, how the sample is constructed and how it pertains to digital media. Only after feedback from the editorial team, a detailed submission can be made.

We wish all the best for this journal.

HOPE stands for Hauptbibliothek Open Publishing Environment

HOPE provides a platform to researchers of the University of Zurich for publishing in Open Access journals. This service is offered by the Main Library of the University of Zurich based on the infrastructure of the Zentrale Informatik. For management and publication of scientific journals, the open-source software Open Journal Systems (OJS) is used.
