Prior-Miller, Compiler [email protected] Associate Professor and Meredith Apprentice Professor Greenlee School of Journalism and Communication, Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa and Research Associates* Greenlee School of Journalism and Communication, Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa *Enormous credit goes to the more than 30 associates who worked at different times and often under less than ideal circumstances to compile this bibliography. Multiple Iowa State University graduate and undergraduate research assistants and freshmen honors students contributed their time, effort and insights to compile the database (# = Communication Abstracts), holdings of published research (noted as cc: on file and/or * pdf: on file) and entries in this bibliography. Their collective work made it happen. Graduate research assistants: Mina Issa (2010-2011); Ryan Curell (Spring 2010); Samuel Berbano (2009); Ko-Jung Chen (2007-2008); Deshara Thomas (2004-2006). Undergraduate research assistants: Sarah Korneisel (Fall 2011-Present); Jamica Fonseca (2008); Nicolle Stumpf (2003-2004); Sarah Greenlee (2002-2003); Jaclyn Hruska (2001-2002); Genelle Nissen Deist (1999-2000); Jayne Bullock (1992-1993); and Kellie Esch (1987-1992). Freshman honors students: Rebecca Alhers (Spring 2011); Josh Larson (Spring 2008); Kathy Huting, Suzanne Edson, Amanda Crawford (Spring 2005); Andrea Butson and Michelle Kalkhoff (Spring 2004); Joela Kemp and Megan Eagan (2002-2003); Ruben Hidalgo (Spring 2001); Morris Smith (Fall 1995 to Spring 1996); Jason Ellingson and Courtney King (Spring 1994); Murray Williams (Spring 1993); Theresa Wilson and Kelly Farrell (Spring 1992); and Suzanne Cobb (Spring 1991). This bibliography is a living document. The work began with a census and analysis of abstracts of scholarly research on magazines provided in Communication Abstracts, volume 1, 1976. Each year, a team has worked to identify citations, reviewing each issue’s index and every abstract published in hard copy from 1976 through 2006. 1 The 8th edition Draft includes all citations and changes entered after August 23, 2010, the beginning of the Fall 2010 term at Iowa State University up to August 6, 2012.

Bibliography of Published Research on Magazine and Journal Periodicals (8th ed.). Ames: Iowa State University, [email protected] Introduction The searches have continued using the Communication Abstracts electronic database from 2007 forward. Entries from 2001 forward continue to be added as they are identified and placement verified. To this foundation have been added citations from American Periodicals (beginning with Volume 1, 1991; complete through 2010, with 2011 and 2012 in progress), the on-line Journal of Magazine & New Media Research (beginning with Volume 1, 1999; complete through 2011). Other citations of research on magazines are added as they become available. For the8th edition, the research team has fact checked every entry and evaluated the placement for each article’s citation. Accurate placement of citations by conceptual units has been an on- going challenge. With the explosion of research following the turn of the century, emerging critical masses of research forged new units. Other units expanded. Changing technology has been an on-going challenge to accuracy. The associates have worked alone and in teams of two to four students over a period of almost 25 years to compile the approximately 1,500 studies listed in this edition, The first entries were made using an Osborne’s CPM system. After the bibliography file was transferred to Windows in the early 2000s, multiple upgrades have followed. Each change of platform and software upgrade has introduced errors. Changes and new features in the 8th edition include: • approximately 500 new citations, with more being added almost daily; • doi: coding, where and as it is available; • on-going addition of keywords to entries, to include theory and research methods; • on-going editing of entries for accuracy and consistency in style; • on-going refinement of article placement, with cross-listings to increase usefulness and accuracy of the data base. The foundational framework for the bibliography is a blend of the sociology of mass communication perspective and the transmission model of communication as applied to magazines as a medium of communication. The bibliography is designed to incorporate research that 1. explores the social history of the emergence and growth of the field of magazine publishing; 2. analyzes the ongoing social system within the field; and 3. evaluates diagnostic categories and criteria for investigating communication problems and structure as they occur in the magazine industry and magazines as a medium of 2 communication. 2 Adapted from Mayer N.

Bibliography of Published Research on Magazine and Journal Periodicals (8th ed.). Ames: Iowa State University, [email protected] Introduction The bibliography is organized by empirical research questions. Cross-listings are provided to increase conceptual accuracy and accessibility to studies. Research on electronically distributed magazines, including e-zines and scholarly journals, is included. Research on television magazines is not. Entries are listed within units and subunits in reverse chronological order, beginning with the most recent citation, and alphabetically within years. Style is adapted from pre-2000 American Sociological Association style. In spite of our best efforts, the bibliography likely contains errors in citations and placement. There may also be omissions. For these I accept full responsibility and welcome alerts to the respective needs. Please e-mail observations and suggestions, corrections and additions to: [email protected]. Funding for this project has come from diverse sources. • Initial funding at the inception of this project was provided through several Iowa State University Faculty Research Incentive grants. • Three special research grants from the Freshman Honors Program at Iowa State University made possible the ongoing development of the bibliography. • Additional funds were provided through Iowa State University’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Small Grants program (Spring 2008) and a • Kappa Tau Alpha Chapter Adviser Research Grant (Spring 2008).
