Media Education Research Journal

Aims & Scope

MERJ offers a forum for the exchange of academic research into media education and pedagogy conducted by academics, practitioners and teachers situated in all sectors and contexts for media education. The journal aims to encourage interdisciplinary dialogue between media education researchers globally; it looks to facilitate the exchange of qualitative, critical, empirical, action and discursive research. MERJ welcomes outcomes of research into any aspect of media education and/or media literacy education, as well as ‘thought pieces’ that address critical issues and debates in the field. Media education as social practice, media education pedagogy, media literacy education, media and technology in education and media education policy are all of interest to the journal.

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.
