The editors of connexions in international professional communication &

<http://www.connexionsinipcd.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/connexions-in-international-professional-communication-and-design-IPCD.png>
.

The editors welcome worksite perspectives that address trends, practices,
methods, and approaches connected to the sections and themes within the
network map.

*Target audience*
The eBook’s target audience is

   - industry professionals, thought leaders and influencers;
   - industry, government, and academic researchers;
   - faculty and students.

*Content for submission*
Submitted work must approach “international professional communication and
design” (I.P.C.D.) consistently and by name to refer to I.P.C.D. as a
cohesive yet complex area of research and practice in industry and academia.

In line with professional communication trends across the world,

   - the interactive eBook will comprise written chapters (with a striking,
   dynamic visual component) and other work with embedded interactive content:
   video clips and audio clips; hyperlinks, websites and web pages; animation,
   images and illustrations; problem-solving scenarios through games, videos,
   and other media;
   - all work will have a striking, dynamic visual component and appealing,
   legible, and clear visual elements.

*TYPES OF DOCUMENTS*
Authors can submit two types of work:

   - Type 1. Written content ranging from 2,500 to 6,000 words, including
   all references. Type 1 work will have striking, dynamic visual components
   and appealing, legible, and clear visual elements.
   - Type 2. Work with predominantly interactive content. Type 2 content
   will include embedded hyperlinks, websites and web pages; animation, images
   and illustrations; problem-solving scenarios through games, videos, and
   other media. This work will range from 10 to 2,500 words, including
   references. Ideally, video and audio clips will be no longer than 20
   minutes.

Although we do not have a proposal stage, we encourage interested authors
to consult with us on their ideas. The editors always welcome questions on
developing content for the eBook. Write to us at
editors at connexionsinipcd.net

To sample approaches content developers and authors have taken to
interactive content, visit these websites: JoVE – Journal of Visualized
Experiments <https://www.jove.com/journal>; Kairos – A Journal of Rhetoric,
Technology, and Pedagogy <http://kairos.technorhetoric.net/>; Vizzies
Visualization Challenge <https://www.nsf.gov/news/special_reports/scivis/>;
Nature <https://www.nature.com/>; and KROMA ART mobile magazine

*Visual content and layout*
We see the use of appealing, legible, and clear visuals as a hallmark of
this eBook series. Visuals should serve as guides to readers who do not
have the time to read the work word for word. All together, visuals should
tell a story and give an overview of the work.

Visual elements should take up at least 30% of the work. Visuals in text
may include data displays, including photos, hyperlinks, animations,
images, and illustrations; screenshots, callouts, and text boxes; embedded
games, videos, and other media.

In-text citations are presented as hyperlinks that lead to the original
source.

*Non-English content*
Authors should supply a English translation for all non-English content
(text or dialogue). For example, a English version will follow immediately
after each non-English section or segment; videos will have subtitles in
English; and an English-language translation of the transcript will
accompany all non-English audio clips.

*Respect for others*
Work must be respectful of gender, sexual orientation, racial and ethnic
identity, disability, and age, both in language and visual content.

*Accessibility*
We require all work to be accessible and work on any device. Authors should
ensure that the content conforms to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
2.1, level AA: https://webaim.org/standards/wcag/WCAG2Checklist.pdf You may
