We are very pleased to announce that Volume 3 of Screenworks is now online and the call for Volume 4 has been announced.

Edited by Dr Charlotte Crofts and Associate Editor Steve Presence at the University of the West of England, the third volume of this ground-breaking peer-reviewed online publication of academic screen media research demonstrates the broad range of research that is currently being undertaken through practice, which includes multi-screen 'expanded' cinema, site-specific installations, live AV performances, practice-as-research into childhood, experimental documentary, philosophical mediations on the platonic ideal and an exploration of the ontology of the digital camera lens. Each work is accompanied by a supporting research statement, offering a 'route map' of the research process and the peer reviews are published alongside the work in a system of open peer review.
Volume 4 of Screenworks will be an open call of rolling publications. This means that in the spirit of reactive online publishing we will review and publish work on a rolling basis as it comes in, rather than waiting for a full Volume before publication. The call will open on 24 Sept 2012 and close on 21 Jan 2013, with a view to publishing each work as soon as the reviewing process is complete. All work will be published by June 2013 at the latest, accruing a full Volume of work for the academic year. For more information about the peer review process and how to submit your work please go to the Call for Submissions page:
