The ECREA Ukraine Task Force, in cooperation with the Ukrainian Institute of Media and Communication, invites media and communication researchers, as well as scholars from related fields, to a webinar on publishing in top-tier academic journals, with a specific focus on the United States.
Approaches and expectations in U.S. academic journals often differ significantly from publication practices in other regions. This webinar will explore key aspects of American academic culture and provide practical guidance on manuscript preparation, helping participants better understand the requirements that increase the chances of successful publication.

Previously, he worked at West Virginia University’s Reed College of Media. Before entering academia, he gained over 15 years of experience in international PR agencies. His research focuses on public interest communications, international PR, disinformation, and crisis communication. He is also a member of the editorial boards of two US-based academic journals.
