Rhine Ruhr Center
The "Living Handbook of Science Communication and Science Studies" is a freely accessible online platform that provides information about the science system and communication between research and society.
The "Living Handbook" of the Rhine-Ruhr Center For Science Communication Research (RRC) is continuously being developed. The RRC is looking for research articles and popular formats that throw light on the science system and science communication from the standpoint of both research and practice.
Each research article should deal with a certain topic, be approximately five pages in length and written in English. The research articles —in the style of a citable handbook contribution — provide an overview of the current state of research on the respective keyword. They also open up new perspectives on the topic, marking open questions and ambivalences, and building bridges between theory and practice.
Editorial support will be provided:
- double-blind peer review
- English editing/proofreading
- citable publication: DOI and open-access publication
- no submission charge or submission deadline
Every section includes space for curated popular items: essays, videos, podcasts, image galleries, and social media content allow us to approach the respective topic in an entertaining, analytical, and surprising fashion. If you have an idea for a popular science item or know of one, the RRC is pleased to receive:
- content that opens up new perspectives and addresses a wide audience
- a wide variety of formats—such as essays, photos, videos or podcast episodes
If you would like to become part of the Living Handbook and submit an article or suggest a topic, please send an e-mail to Aleksandra Vujadinovic (aleksandra.vujadinovic(at)h-brs.de).
