\u201cThe JSMS<\/em> was created to advance the study of social media with theory, research and practice from all methodological frameworks,\u201d said cofounding editor Sarah Maben, a communication studies Associate Professor. \u201cWe have reviewed more than 1,200 manuscripts from scholars across the globe and are so thankful for all of our Tarleton partners and supporters.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The journal was incubated by the Texas Social Media Research Institute at Tarleton State University. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Maben and Dr. Credence Baker, Professor of Educational Technology, started the journal to give authors a place to publish cutting edge research devoted to social media and mobile technology. In 2016 Dr. Amber Harris Bozer became the journal\u2019s first associate editor; Dr. Randy McCamey followed shortly after. In 2018 Yvonne Mulhern became the journal\u2019s first book review editor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The journal boasts more than 100 reviewers from institutions worldwide. More than 1,200 manuscripts have been submitted, many from international authors. Downloads of abstracts and full .pdfs have hit the one million mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In her editor\u2019s letter for the most recent issue, Dr. Maben salutes the interdisciplinary team of editors and reviewers who champion social media research. Some reviewers have been with the journal since its inception.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe dedication of our team is humbling,\u201d she said. \u201cReviewers analyze research articles out of their desire to help the next wave of knowledge, offering advice and guidance that shape the new discoveries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The Journal of Social Media in Society<\/em>\u00a0is one of the handful of academic journals based at Tarleton and is supported financially by the College of Liberal and Fine Arts, College of Business, College of Graduate Studies and College of Education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
