Metacritic Journal for Comparative Studies and Theory

Aims & Scope

Metacritic Journal for Comparative Studies and Theory is an open-access, double blind peer-reviewed, online publication for academic research, published twice a year (July and December) by the Faculty of Letters, Babes-Bolyai University of Cluj, Romania. It promotes free-access for academic work, and it welcomes authors who want to share their research and resources with their peers. It encourages, recognizes, and rewards intellectual excellence  in interdisciplinary and intermedial approaches of literary culture, visual culture, and theory. The journal welcomes papers in English (or, for regionally oriented topics, Romanian) from the following domains: comparative studies, including digital and posthuman studies; literary studies, cultural studies, including social and gender studies; media and film studies, literary criticism and theory, cultural poetics. All articles must explore metacritic, reflexive dimensions of the issues covered, whether their objectives are theoretical, methodological, pragmatic, or analytic.

A twelfth criterion — whether APC fees are clearly disclosed — is not scored here; it is left out of the total rather than counted as a failure. Publication charges appear in the metrics card above.

Based on the Think.Check.Submit framework by DOAJ, COPE & OASPA. All data from verified open sources.

Source: OpenAlex · Each year’s green bar = citations earned by that year’s papers, counted to date — so recent years look lower simply because their papers haven’t had time to be cited yet.
