== Overview ==

[http://www.culture-communication.unimelb.edu.au/platform Platform] is an open access, online journal publishing graduate (ie Honours, Masters and Doctorate) papers from international contributions. The journal is published by the Media and Communications Program at the [http://www.culture-communication.unimelb.edu.au School of Culture and Communication], [http://www.unimelb.edu.au University of Melbourne].

A new journal coming out of the University of Melbourne’s School of Culture and Communication has set its sights on disseminating new academic work from around the globe. The journal of media and communication, Platform, is exactly that; a platform for bouncing out new ideas. Not only because it is a journal specifically designed to support and publish Honours, Masters and Doctorate students (getting work published in academic journals is very competitive and hard to get when you’re competing with seasoned academics) but also because the journal is open access.

Platform submissions are refereed by a diverse international board of established and emerging scholars from different areas of Media and Communication and it is edited by graduate students at the University of Melbourne.

If you’re a PhD or Masters student working on something good in the Media and Communications field, then get your submission in for volume 2 due for release in January next year.

Again, we were pretty excited about this so we posted a case study about it on the CC Wiki here.
