MagLab is pleased to share the first issue of the International Journal of Magazine Studies (IJMS). Published annually by the Magazine Media Lab (MagLab)/CICANT, Lusófona University, Portugal, the IJMS is an open-access and peer-reviewed journal that promotes a platform for the exchange of cutting-edge knowledge, fostering a deep understanding of the evolving nature and significance of the magazine formats in contemporary society.
This inaugural edition was jointly organised by Professors Carla Rodrigues Cardoso and Ana Figueiras, coordinators of MagLab, and includes eight articles that offer a comprehensive examination of the diversity of interpretations across various dimensions of the magazine media, plus an invited article signed by David Abrahamson, one of the most respected scholars in the Magazine Studies field. Proving the transnational nature of Magazine Studies, the peer-reviewed articles come from eight different countries: Belgium, Brazil, Finland, France, Georgia, Greece, Portugal and UK.
