EDITORIAL BOARD
Drawing inspiration from the International Conference on Live Interfaces, which occurred in 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2020 and 2022, this media-rich journal aims to serve as a platform for eminently live work and dialogue. It seeks to cross-pollinate ideas and communities, interrogating contemporary creative practice in a wealth of different ways.
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
The Editor-in-Chief directs the peer-review process with full editorial independence, ensuring that every submission is evaluated solely on scholarly merit and in strict accordance with the journal’s ethical standards, review policy and transparency requirements. All editorial decisions are made autonomously and free from institutional, personal or commercial influence.
Adriana Sá > CICANT / Lusófona University
Chaired the International Conference on Live Interfaces in 2014 and 2022. Works at the intersection of sound, performance and interactive media, integrating artistic intuition with rigorous research in perception and interface design. Explores how interfaces can function as both expressive art and research-driven inquiry.
ADVISORY BOARD
The Advisory Board supports the ongoing development of the journal by contributing to its aims, scope and methodological direction. While it plays a central role in shaping the journal’s overall vision, it does not participate in editorial decisions regarding individual submissions. For each volume, selected Advisory Board members may serve as reviewers alongside external experts, but their reviewing role is fully separated from their strategic function, and they do not influence the acceptance or rejection of submitted works beyond their formal reviews.

REVIEWERS
Submissions are evaluated by editorial board members and external experts, in accordance with the journal’s peer-review guidelines. The journal follows an open review model in which both authors and reviewers are identified; however, while authors’ identities are disclosed from the outset, reviewers may choose to remain anonymous during the process and even after publication. In all cases, authors discuss reviews and revisions with the editor rather than directly with reviewers. The editor-in-chief keeps a written record of all exchanges and revisions throughout the review process, and this documentation is shared with the Advisory Board after each volume is published. Internal and external reviews follow the same procedures.

MEDIA DESIGN, MANAGEMENT & TECHNICAL SUPPORT
The digital platform of this media-rich journal is both a medium to promote creative research and a creative research output in itself – including concept architecture, graphical interface design, content creation, information management, interaction design, media optimisation, dissemination and archive. Its maintenance and growth depends on intensive dedication, particularly because digital platforms are ephemeral, and ever-changing black boxes of code limit our control over the medium.
