1. Focus and scope

InMediaciones de la Comunicación is a refereed, open access and non-profit academic journal published since 1998 by the Universidad ORT Uruguay.

The journal's purpose focuses on the publication of original articles and/or reviews and the dissemination of interviews, essays and research results in the field of communication and related disciplines, with special attention to social mediatisation processes and the study of contemporary media phenomena. The content aims at researchers, teachers, undergraduate and graduate university students and everyone with an interest in all areas of communication. The published manuscripts are firstly reviewed by the directors of the journal, the Associate Editors, the Academic Committee –made up of experts from different countries– and the Guest Editor of each issue, and are subsequently evaluated through the double-blind system with the intervention of external referees.

From the second semester of 2024, the journal InMediaciones de la Comunicación adopts the continuous publication system with thematic biannual calls. This modality allows the editorial process of the postulated papers to be faster: that is, all articles accepted in the peer evaluation process are immediately published in the website, with the idea that they will be quickly visible and citable. The journal receives contributions written in Spanish, English and Portuguese and the author does not pay any cost for the processing or publication of the papers. InMediaciones de la Comunicación is published in print and digital formats and carries out an editorial policy that conforms to the international standards of academic journals.

Since its inception, InMediaciones de la Comunicación has committed to the promotion of open publication of papers derived from quality research, fostering an approach to the processes of social mediatization and issues that cross the field of communication. Over the years, it has had contributions from renowned researchers and academic referents, who contributed their views on the debates raised by the permanent renewal of contemporary communicational phenomena.
