Communication Studies
Communication Studies is committed to publishing high-quality original scholarship that examines significant aspects of diverse communication phenomena, processes, and outcomes. The journal publishes research reflective of the breadth of communication concentrations including interpersonal, small group, organizational, intercultural, international, health, media, performance, persuasion, political, public address, rhetorical, and digitally generated communication. Communication Studies welcomes submissions from established and emerging areas of research with various philosophical, theoretical, or methodological underpinnings (including socio-psychological, interpretive, and critical approaches as well as quantitative, qualitative, autoethnographic, performative, and rhetorical methods). Communication Studies is committed to publishing essays and reports of studies that make significant social and academic contributions to advance communication scholarship. Communication Studies supports research and writing free of sexism and other biases.
Manuscripts should be conceptually meaningful, methodologically sound, interesting, clearly written, and thoughtfully argued. Manuscripts must not have been published elsewhere or be currently under consideration for any other publication.
Manuscripts will typically be reviewed by two members of the Editorial Board. The recommendations of the reviewers provide the foundation for final judgment regarding publication. Authors can normally expect an initial editorial decision within two months following the date of receipt by the editor.
Manuscripts must be prepared in accordance with the most recent edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. Submissions should be no more than 7500 words (including tables, references, endnotes, and appendices).
