Collaborators should decide who will be an author before the work is started and confirm who is an author before submitting the manuscript for publication. The submitting author would normally be the main point of contact with the journal throughout the production process, but does not necessarily have to be the first author listed in the published article.

All members of the group named as authors should have contributed substantially to the drafting and revising of the article, give approval for the final version to be published, and be accountable with regards to any questions on the accuracy or integrity of any and all parts of the article.

Submission of an article for consideration in Media Theory implies that the work described has not been accepted for publication elsewhere, that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere and does not duplicate material already published. Prepublication or redundant/overlapping publication would preclude your article from consideration for publication with Media Theory.
