Review of Communication

Aims and scopeJournal metrics Editorial board The Review of Communication is a peer-reviewed publication of the National Communication Association. The Review of Communication publishes original scholarship that advances the discipline and practice of communication through the study of major themes that cross disciplinary subfields. Following the intellectually and academically cosmopolitan tradition of the journal, we invite substantive essays that not only review controversies and trajectories in communication scholarship, but also contribute to the major issues that span our discipline. Such macro-interpretive studies may be historical, theoretical, philosophical, qualitative, quantitative, rhetorical, or syncretic. The Review of Communication welcomes essays that build theory, advance our understanding of a method, extend or challenge a current paradigm, bridge a divide, clarify a term or concept, or demonstrate a pragmatic function. To accomplish this mission, beginning with Vol. 20, Review of Communication will publish four themed issues a year. Future submissions to the journal should either respond to a call for articles for one of the upcoming themed issues, or should consist of proposals to guest edit an issue with a detailed rationale for the issue, a 20–25 item bibliography of relevant works on the theme, and a draft of a call for papers inviting authors to address the proposed theme. For more details about how to submit your research to Review of Communication , please review our Instructions for Authors. A list of all current calls for upcoming themes issues can be found here. Unless specifically indicated otherwise, all research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, including screening by the editor and review by at least two anonymous referees. Forum sections are discussion pieces typically invited and reviewed by the forum editor and journal editor only. Read full aims and scope
