Its activities encompass the study of how information is produced, circulated and received; media narratives and digital environments; media, information and algorithmic literacy; and graphic, editorial, digital, visual and interaction design as mediators in the construction of meaning.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>A SPACE CONNECTING KNOWLEDGE AND SOCIETY<\/h3>\n<p>IndexCom was established to provide continuity and independence for scientific and editorial initiatives in communication. The association helps ensure that rigorous knowledge reaches beyond academia, circulates, sparks debate and has a social impact.<\/p>\n<p>Our work takes an interdisciplinary, evidence-based approach, with particular attention to scientific quality, editorial ethics, open access and collaboration between universities, research centres, associations and industry stakeholders.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>OUR MISSION<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Advance scientific research in communication through critical, interdisciplinary and collaborative approaches.<\/li>\n<li>Bring knowledge to diverse audiences through public engagement and knowledge transfer.<\/li>\n<li>Promote high-quality, ethical scholarly publications, preferably with open access.<\/li>\n<li>Foster media and information literacy and critical thinking.<\/li>\n<li>Build lasting national and international cooperation networks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>A GROWING ECOSYSTEM<\/h3>\n<p>IndexCom provides a shared framework connecting different projects. The journal <em>index.comunicaci\u00f3n<\/em>, Indexfera, Index P\u00f3dcast, webinars and the future IndexCom Conference are complementary expressions of the same commitment: researching, publishing, teaching and sharing knowledge about communication.<\/p>\n<p>This ecosystem enables initiatives to develop their own identities while sharing resources, experience and a common scientific purpose.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>HOW WE WORK<\/h3>\n<h4><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Research and knowledge transfer<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>We promote applied research projects, academic meetings and activities that bring their findings to institutions, professionals and the public.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Scholarly publishing and open access<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Publishing is central to our work.
