    The following may be of interest to theoreticians/practitioners working
    in the broad-based field(s) of 'urban culture' and 'writing the city'.

    For the forthcoming MEDIA ISSUE of the online 'Journal of
    Psychogeography and Urban Research', we strongly encourage submissions
    which comprise an attempt to re-think urban writing in both fiction and
    non-fiction forms.

    Additionally we strongly encourage submissions from media
    practitioners/researchers working with urban subject matter in a form
    deliverable across internet media such as QuickTime, Windows Media
    player or similar for an online audience.
     
    Primarily, the role of the journal is to establish new ground for
    debate, to encourage new research and thinking on the urban, and to
    question existing orthodoxies and methodologies pertaining to urban
    research.

    Proposals may therefore take the form of:

    * Academic Articles/Papers
    * Revised Conference Papers
    * Working Papers
    * Audio/Video in a variety of 'internet-ready' formats
    * eBooks for Microsoft Reader
    * Photography

    In the case of Academic Articles/Papers, all textual contributions must
    be written in English and should not have been published, or submitted
    for publication elsewhere. All submissions should be accompanied by a
    150-300 word abstract (including 6 keywords) for purposes of review.
    Submissions undergo blind peer review. Therefore, the author(s) name,
    address and email should appear only on a detachable cover page and not
    anywhere else on the manuscript. If a submission is accepted, a disk
    version of the manuscript will be required. Submissions must be fully
    referenced and may contain endnotes (but not footnotes).

    In the case of Video or Audio content being submitted for review, please
    submit a 150-300 word abstract in the first instance. Large file
    attachments containing video or audio content are being accepted at this
    stage.

    All submissions should be submitted to the following address:
    editorial@psychogeography.f9.co.uk

    Or by surface mail to:

    PPUK
    PO Box 1059
    Southampton
    SO16 5AG
    United Kingdom

    General enquiries should be sent to admin@psychogeography.co.uk

    =========================================

    Prospective contributors who are based in the UK should note that in its
    regular review of research performance in the United Kingdom, the Higher
    Education Funding Council (HEFCE) has stated that digital publications
    may be submitted for RAE assessment and should be subject to the same
    quality criteria as papers published by 'traditional' means.

    All contributions to The Journal of Psychogeography and Urban Research
    will be reviewed by two referees with academic expertise in the
    appropriate area. Contributors will be kept up to date on the status of
    their contributions via regular email correspondence.
