Hello AoIR friends and colleagues, I'm sharing this invitation to publish in the Journal of Applied Youth Studies widely, so sorry for cross-posting. I'm especially keen to share with AoIR as one of the journal's recent commentary pieces was written after we met Maria at the AoIR conference in Ireland. After her presentation at AoIR, Maria Murumaa-Mengel (University of Tartu, Estonia) contributed a commentary article about the messy challenges of youth and media research, teaching and activism in the context of war<https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s43151-023-00095-x>. Feel free to share our invitation below with your networks and colleagues. Thanks Natalie Invitation to submit articles: Journal of Applied Youth Studies We invite all scholars working in youth studies and youth-related fields to submit articles to the Journal of Applied Youth Studies<https://www.springer.com/journal/43151>. We’re a relatively young Springer journal (since 2020), that was first published in 2015 through the Centre for Applied Youth Research, at the University of Tasmania, Australia. The journal has recently been indexed by Scopus: Q1 for cultural studies, Q2 for social science / sociology / anthropology, and Q3 for education. We welcome submissions from researchers within and beyond academia, across the research – policy – practice – theory spectrum on issues that concern youth and young adults. The journal is interdisciplinary and welcomes papers from disciplines that engage with the diversity and complexity of young people’s lives, as well as the social, cultural, economic and political conditions that young people and their communities experience. It aims to be of relevance to researchers, students, practitioners and policy-makers internationally. The journal publishes theoretical and policy papers, and qualitative and quantitative analytical articles. We do not typically publish papers from developmental psychology, as the journal focuses on scholarship following a critical, constructivist tradition. We especially welcome contextual or critical engagement with digital media and other technologies in relation to youth. Submissions go through a double-blind peer review, and there are no article processing charges at any stage of submission through to publication. Institutions that have open access publishing agreements with Springer are welcome to arrange open access publishing for accepted articles. Please reach out to us off the email list if you have any questions.
