</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">Research in visual and audio-visual communication is one of the youngest</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">within the social sciences. There are no established criteria to</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">conduct this type of research, however, the fields of psychology,</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">education, art history, ethnography, cultural studies, and multimedia</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">studies can provide some guiding principles toward building empirical</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">knowledge. </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">Articles for this special issue of Prism can address a very wide range of</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">perspectives on audio-visual and visual communication. Articles might:</FONT>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">development, or other areas.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">The uniting factor for the articles in the special issue will be their</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">attention to visual and audio-visual communication factors, and their provision of</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">these visual and audio-visual materials online on the site, accompanying</FONT>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">Articles will be published online after being reviewed on a case by case process (rather than closing off the issue after a pre-established deadline). This ability to build the issue as a living document and create a dialogue between its successive contributions will differentiate PRism as an online publication. </FONT></P>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">A special edition team for the audio visual communication topic will assist the editors to set up the 'online living archive' process, including assisting with refereeing. Please contact Annick Janson if you are interested in joining the special edition team for 2006. All team members will have their contributions acknowledged on the site.</FONT></P>
