Subject: MediArXiv open archive officially launches!


We are thrilled to announce that MediArXiv—the free, nonprofit, scholar-led
digital archive for media, film and communication studies—is officially
launching this week. MediArXiv is an open platform, hosted by the Center
for Open Science, for media, film, and communication scholars to upload
working papers, pre-prints, accepted manuscripts (post-prints), and
published manuscripts. The service accepts articles, books, and book
chapters, and we plan to support multimedia submissions in the future:

FAQs are available on our companion site:

MediArXiv joins the growing movement started by the math/physics/computer
science-oriented http://arXiv.org over 25 years ago, as one of the first
full-fledged “preprint” servers conceived for humanities and social science
scholars. Our aim is to promote open scholarship across media, film, and
communication studies around the world. In addition to accepting and
moderating submissions, we plan to advocate for policy changes at the major
media, film, & communication studies professional societies around the
world—to push for open-access friendly policies, in particular, for the
journals that these associations sponsor.

We are launching with a 17-member Steering Committee of scholars and open
access advocates from around the world. The Committee includes members from
five continents, every rank (including graduate students), and along gender
and other lines of equity. We support submissions in English, Spanish,
Chinese, French, Portugeuse, German, Dutch, Finnish, and Turkish:

As a free, nonprofit, community-led digital archive, MediArXiv is fully
committed to the Fair Open Access principles:
