Journal Guide

The Journal of Global Ethics is an international and interdisciplinary scholarly journal concerned with ethical issues arising in the global context. The journal promotes the study of 'global ethics', encouraging examination of the wide variety of ethical issues that arise in the context of globalisation and global relations. The journal provides a forum for the analysis of ethics and values and their relationship to globalisation, international relations, politics and development, engaging particularly in debates about global justice. The Journal of Global Ethics publishes: * A range of high-quality empirical and theoretical articles * Dialogues, discussions and analyses of ethics in the global context * Articles incorporating research, practice and broader social concerns * Articles crossing the academic-practitioner divide and representing a range of voices, including those of civil society and non-governmental organizations and policy-makers * Reviews, interviews and special features on topical issues * Debates with NGOs, anti-globalisation movements, activists and academics on topical political, legal and ethical issues * Special Issues on contemporary themes, for example, those of global justice, global bioethics, development ethics, corporate ethics, ecological ethics, professional ethics and human rights. The Journal of Global Ethics draws chiefly on the disciplines of philosophy, political science, sociology, theology, economics and law and covers diverse topics such as human rights, international development, biomedical, economic and environmental issues. Thus, the journal invites papers on theoretical, conceptual and empirical analysis of global ethics and ethics of globalisation as well as articles on comparative and normative ethics. It also welcomes critical analysis of various cultural approaches to ethical issues in the global context (for example on human rights, economic globalisation and social justice, ethics of development cooperation and international relations). In accordance with the aim of the journal to cross the academic-practitioner divide, the editors also encourage the submission of articles on policies and experiences related to social movement and NGO activities. The journal does not promote one particular set of values, beliefs or framework of ethics, rather its purpose is to be truly global and to take a cross-cultural approach to all aspects of ethical theory and practice. In order to achieve this the journal has regional editors on the different continents. Throughout, the concern of the Journal of Global Ethics is with equality and justice and its aim is to bring together those who are concerned about the state of ethics in the global context Peer Review Policy: All research articles published in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two anonymous referees.

The Journal of Graphic Novels and Comics is a peer reviewed journal covering all aspects of the graphic novel, comic strip and comic book, with the emphasis on comics in their cultural, institutional and creative contexts. Its scope is international, covering not only English language comics but also worldwide comic culture. The journal reflects interdisciplinary research in comics and aims to establish a dialogue between academics, historians, theoreticians and practitioners of comics. It therefore examines the production and consumption of comics within the contexts of culture: art, cinema, television and new media technologies. The journal will include all forms of 'sequential imagery' including precursors of the comic but the main emphasis will be on twentieth and twenty-first century examples, reflecting the increasing interest in the modern forms of the comic, its production and cultural consumption. Support for the Journal of Graphic Novels and ComicsThe Journal of Graphic Novels and Comics has come along at just the right time. The rapid growth in comics study in the academy, both within and across a number of disciplines, has revealed the increasing need of a peer-reviewed journal that is both interdisciplinary and that looks at comics in all its manifestations. Such a journal would serve as both a central gathering point for interesting scholarship, and as a legitimating force for the new scholars staking out this territory. The journal is well poised to address comics with the dynamism that the medium demands as well as the rigour which has been sometimes lacking. Scott Bukatman, Associate Professor of Film and Media Studies, Stanford University, USA The Journal of Graphic Novels and Comics is a new and greatly needed kid on the academic block that fills a gap in the expanding field of Comics Studies. It's interdisciplinary focus on one of the most enduring art forms of the last century promises to encourage the publication of exciting, new research into the study of comics and the media they impact upon.Angela Ndalianis, Board of Directors, Institute for Comics Studies, Melbourne University The Journal of Graphic Novels and Comics represents the next, needed stage in the development of comics studies as a discipline with its own academic institutions. The journal recognizes the inherently interdisciplinary nature of comics and points to the growing conversation taking place between scholars and professionals. To advance in the academy, comics scholars need the validation of peer review, and comics as a medium needs additional outlets for serious analysis and discussion. JGNC is a welcome addition to and recognition of the growing field of comics studies and the importance of the comics medium in the twenty-first century.Peter Coogan, Director of the Institute for Comics Studies, Washington University in St. Louis, USA DisclaimerTaylor & Francis makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the 8220;Content8221;) contained in its publications.
