 MAIN TOPICS OF THE CONFERENCE 
<div>
 
 1. Gender Studies
</div>

 Gender Studies are becoming increasingly important in a society in which inequalities caused by gender, among other reasons, are persistent. Meanwhile, the pressure not only to understand these inequalities but also to eradicate them is equally tenacious in the best academic studies traditions. In this conference, therefore, we wish to consider the intersection between these type of studies and the academic journals of communication.

 2. Open Science

 The powerful influence of open science and open publication, with the definitive support of the European Union, other governments and world agencies, is producing enduring changes in the ecosystem of academic publishing and scientific evaluation.

 3. New Opportunities

 Open science is bringing about new opportunities based on the authors' necessity to find ways to comply with the mandates of open publishing of their research results, financed through public funds. These new actors are making a strong appearance in the field of databases and organizations that provide auto-archive solutions, but also alternative metrics for impact, promotion and dissemination of academic content.

 4. New Pressures

 New regions and areas of the world are being incorporated into the science system. At the same time, the evaluation processes of science are centered around publication and impact metrics, despite the existence of parallel correction factors such as those represented by the Leyden Manifesto and the San Francisco Declaration, which obligates to consider the weight that the metrics should have in these processes.

 5. Towards a lasting change of scenery

 The digital publication, that is, the progressive disappearance of science in printed form, which also affects books, the unstoppable scenario of open publication, the appearance of new actors in the management, and the treatment of academic publications. These phenomena are configuring a change of scenery. This contrasts with the closed nature of some vital instruments for the analysis and management of academic production, so it is foreseeable that these tools will put their current central role in all processes in crisis. 

 There is also a crisis in the conventional model of scientific publication, which has barely changed in its 300 years of history. New scenarios call for changes in many aspects of scientific publication, and in its metrics and forms of analysis. However, all changes must preserve despite all the spirit of science evaluated through external procedures. The union of all these factors promises exciting changes at all temporal levels, therefore, in the short, medium and long term. One of the objectives of the YMCA 2019 is to try to gather as many shreds of evidence and points of view as possible in the forecast of such changes.

 The main objective of the 3rd lnternational Conferences on Academic Communication Journals is to explore and debate one of the basic activities of researchers and scholars in Communication Studies: publishing in scientific journals.

 After the research activity, scientific journals represent the necessary step to make research visible and valuable. Also, academic journal publishing has become an essential element of the academic career and funding opportunities.

 According to this reality, this conference brings together the research community, publishers, editors and academic institutions offering an opportunity to discuss and understand the role and importance of Academic Journal publishing in the Communication field.

 The conference is organised by Pompeu Fabra University every two years with the specific goals specified hereafter.
