JAT
AIMS AND SCOPE
The Journal of Audiovisual Translation (ISSN: 2617-9148) is the first international journal dedicated to audiovisual translation studies. Published by ESIST, JAT aims to be the reference point for high-quality, innovative and in-depth research in all avenues of audiovisual translation studies. From historical perspectives to technology-based studies, from media accessibility in all its forms to linguistic, culture-oriented, psychology-based research, JAT aims to select contributions that will enrich the field and have an impact on both practice and research.
As the only dedicated academic journal in the field of audiovisual translation, JAT encourages the submission of original research papers and practice reports in the field of audiovisual translation (AVT) and media accessibility in areas including subtitling, captioning, audio description, dubbing and voice-over. We welcome contributions on traditional media such as television and film, new media, live events, opera, theatre, museums and other contexts. JAT welcomes both theoretical and empirical contributions that meet a high standard of scholarship and contribute new knowledge to the discipline. JAT also encourages interdisciplinary studies within the broader discipline of translation studies, but also with psychology, cognitive science, media studies, communication studies, sociology, linguistics, inclusive design, accessibility studies and other areas.
JAT is an open-access journal and provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.
