How to publish in this journal

The set of journals have been ranked according to their SJR and divided into four equal groups, four quartiles. Q1 (green) comprises the quarter of the journals with the highest values, Q2 (yellow) the second highest values, Q3 (orange) the third highest values and Q4 (red) the lowest values.

The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.

Evolution of the number of published documents. All types of documents are considered, including citable and non citable documents.

This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.

Evolution of the total number of citations and journal's self-citations received by a journal's published documents during the three previous years. Journal Self-citation is defined as the number of citation from a journal citing article to articles published by the same journal.

Evolution of the number of total citation per document and external citation per document (i.e. journal self-citations removed) received by a journal's published documents during the three previous years. External citations are calculated by subtracting the number of self-citations from the total number of citations received by the journal’s documents.

International Collaboration accounts for the articles that have been produced by researchers from several countries. The chart shows the ratio of a journal's documents signed by researchers from more than one country; that is including more than one country address.

Not every article in a journal is considered primary research and therefore "citable", this chart shows the ratio of a journal's articles including substantial research (research articles, conference papers and reviews) in three year windows vs. those documents other than research articles, reviews and conference papers.

Ratio of a journal's items, grouped in three years windows, that have been cited at least once vs. those not cited during the following year.

Evolution of the percentage of female authors.

Evolution of the number of documents cited by public policy documents according to Overton database.

Evoution of the number of documents related to Sustainable Development Goals defined by United Nations. Available from 2018 onwards.

• Description
• Aims and Scope
• Editorial Board
• Abstracting / Indexing
• Submission Guidelines

For over three decades researchers and practitioners have depended on Communication Research for the most up-to-date, comprehensive and important research on communication and its related fields.

Important, In-Depth Research and Scholarship Communication processes are a fundamental part of virtually every aspect of human social life. Communication Research publishes articles that explore the processes, antecedents, and consequences of communication in a broad range of societal systems. Although most of the published articles are empirical, we also consider overview/review articles. These include the following:

• interpersonal
• entertainment
• advertising/persuasive communication
• new technology, online, computer-mediated and mobile communication 
• organizational
• intercultural

Why you need Communication Research

• Research and theory presented in all areas of communication give you comprehensive coverage of the field
• Rigorous, empirical analysis provides you with research that’s reliable and high in quality
• The multi-disciplinary perspective contributes to a greater understanding of communication processes and outcomes
• "Themed issues" bring you in-depth examinations of a specific area of importance, as thematically connected articles selected in the standard peer-review process are conveniently presented in a single issue
• Expert editorial guidance represents a wide range of interests from inside and outside the traditional boundaries of the communication discipline

Empirical research in communication began in the 20th century, and there are more researchers pursuing answers to communication questions today than at any other time. The editorial goal of Communication Research is to offer a special opportunity for reflection and change in the new millennium. To qualify for publication, research should, first, be explicitly tied to some form of communication; second, be theoretically driven with conclusions that inform theory; third, use the most rigorous empirical methods OR provide a review of a research area; and fourth, be directly linked to the most important problems and issues facing humankind. Criteria do not privilege any particular context; indeed, we believe that the key problems facing humankind occur in close relationships, groups, organizations, and cultures. Hence, we hope to publish research conducted across a wide variety of levels and units of analysis.

Manuscripts for consideration in Communication Research should be submitted electronically via Manuscript Central ( http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/commresearch ). Authors will be required to set up an online account in the SageTRACK system at this site. For general inquiries, please contact the Communication Research editorial office (email [email protected] ).

The co-editors and editorial board make every effort to review manuscripts thoroughly and promptly. One of the co-editors initially determines whether the content of the manuscript is appropriate for the journal and whether there is sufficient publication potential to proceed with anonymous reviews. Manuscripts that do not pass this initial screening are returned immediately. If a manuscript is sent out for the review process it is typically completed in eight to ten weeks. Authors are encouraged to obtain and incorporate editorial advice of their colleagues prior to submitting their work to Communication Research .

Submissions should consist of a cover file and separate manuscript file.

The cover file should include:

• The manuscript title.
• Author(s), affiliation, contact information, and e-mail address.
• Any acknowledgments.
• Author biographies (100 words maximum for all authors).

The manuscript file should:

• Include an abstract of no more than 150 words.
• List 4 to 5 keywords.
• Be de-identified: It is important that authors’ names do not appear anywhere other than on the cover file (if questions arise in specific circumstances, when de-identification might be more revealing than including the authors’ names, please contact the editorial office).
• Be submitted as MS Word files (Windows Vista users, please save files down to the pre-2007, “.doc” versions).
• Be prepared in accordance with the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association , 7th edition.
• In particular, the entire manuscript should be double spaced, and manuscripts should have 1 inch margins on all four sides.
• References should be carefully edited to ensure consistency with APA guidelines and include DOI numbers.
• Statistics and statistical analyses should be reported in line with APA guidelines including standard deviations and effect sizes when applicable.  Confidence intervals must be reported when bootstrapping is utilized.  Further, inclusion of correlation matrices as online appendix is strongly recommended (as this information facilitates meta-analyses).
• Figures and tables should be placed at the end of the manuscript file and numbered in the order they appear in text. Tables should be editable, formatted in line with APA guidelines, and have a clear title.
• An in-text callout (example: “[Figure 1 here]”) should be inserted on a separate line just after the paragraph where each figure or table appears.
• All figures should be submitted in the original program in which they were created (JPG, TIFF, or EPS; Microsoft Application Files are acceptable for line art).
• Any scanned images should be set at 1200 dpi for line art and 300 dpi for color or grayscale.
• Appendices should be used sparingly and should be lettered to set them apart from numbered tables/figures.
• Online appendices can now be used and do not count towards the 12,800 word count limit. They are hosted on the Communication Research site and linked to the article metadata and viewable in the TOC and article page itself. Upon submission, authors can denote appendices as "Online Appendix" and otherwise simply include them in the submission files, while following APA guidance for appendices.
• It is recommended that the paper is below 12,800 words in length; authors may provide supplementary materials to be published later as online appendices

Previously copyrighted material:

• Authors are responsible for gaining permission to reproduce any copyrighted material in their submissions, including images and quotations of more than 300 words.
• If another manuscript drawing on the same dataset has been submitted or published previously, please explain how it differs from this manuscript in your cover letter.
• Permission in email format is acceptable.
• Authors may also submit a Copyright Permission Request Form completed by the copyright holder.
• Payment of any fees the copyright holder may request is the author’s responsibility.
• Because obtaining reprint permission can be time consuming, it is recommended that authors begin this process as soon as possible.

Submission of a manuscript implies commitment to publish in the journal:

• Authors submitting manuscripts to the journal should not simultaneously submit them to another journal.
• Authors should not submit manuscripts that have been published elsewhere in substantially similar form or with substantially similar content.
• Authors in doubt about what constitutes prior publication should consult the Communication Research editorial office (email [email protected] ).

Language editing support:

• Authors who want to refine the use of English in their manuscripts might consider utilizing the services of SPi, a non-affiliated company that offers Professional Editing Services to authors of journal articles in the areas of science, technology, medicine or the social sciences.
• SPi specializes in editing and correcting English-language manuscripts written by authors with a primary language other than English.

Open Science Badges:

Articles submitted to Communication Research and accepted for publication after 7/1/2019 are eligible to earn badges that recognize open scientific practices: publicly available data, material, or preregistered research plans. You can also find information on the Open Science Framework at https://osf.io/tvyxz/wiki/home/

To apply for one or more badges acknowledging open practices, please check the box(es) corresponding to the desired badge(s) in the online submission form and provide the information requested in the relevant sections. To qualify for a badge, you must provide a URL, doi, or other permanent path for accessing the specified information in a public, open-access repository. Qualifying public, open-access repositories are committed to preserving data, materials, and/or registered analysis plans and keeping them publicly accessible via the web in perpetuity. Examples include the Open Science Framework ( OSF ) and the various Dataverse networks. Hundreds of other qualifying data/materials repositories are listed at http://re3data.org/ . Preregistration of an analysis plan must take place via a publicly accessible registry system (e.g., OSF , ClinicalTrials.gov or other trial registries in the WHO Registry Network , institutional registration systems). Personal websites and most departmental websites do not qualify as repositories.

Authors who wish to publicly post third-party material in their data, materials, or preregistration plan must have the proper authority or permission agreement in order to do so.

There are circumstances in which it is not possible or advisable to share any or all data, materials, or a research plan publicly. For example, there are cases in which sharing participants’ data could violate confidentiality. If you would like your article to include an explanation of such circumstances and/or provide links to any data or materials you have made available—even if not under conditions eligible to earn a badge—you may write an alternative note that will be published in a note in the article.

If you or your funder wish your article to be freely available online to nonsubscribers immediately upon publication (gold open access), you can opt for it to be included in Sage Choice, subject to the payment of a publication fee. The manuscript submission and peer review procedure is unchanged. On acceptance of your article, you will be asked to let Sage know directly if you are choosing Sage Choice. To check journal eligibility and the publication fee, please visit Sage Choice . For more information on open access options and compliance at Sage, including self/author archiving deposits (green open access) visit Sage Publishing Policies on our Journal Author Gateway.

As part of our commitment to ensuring an ethical, transparent and fair peer review process Sage is a supporting member of ORCID, the Open Researcher and Contributor ID . ORCID provides a unique and persistent digital identifier that distinguishes researchers from every other researcher, even those who share the same name, and, through integration in key research workflows such as manuscript and grant submission, supports automated linkages between researchers and their professional activities, ensuring that their work is recognized.

The collection of ORCID iDs from corresponding authors is now part of the submission process of this journal. If you already have an ORCID iD you will be asked to associate that to your submission during the online submission process. We also strongly encourage all co-authors to link their ORCID ID to their accounts in our online peer review platforms. It takes seconds to do: click the link when prompted, sign into your ORCID account and our systems are automatically updated. Your ORCID iD will become part of your accepted publication’s metadata, making your work attributable to you and only you. Your ORCID iD is published with your article so that fellow researchers reading your work can link to your ORCID profile and from there link to your other publications.

If you do not already have an ORCID iD please follow this link to create one or visit our ORCID homepage to learn more.

Journals Publishing Communication Research

NCA has prepared a list of more than 100 journals that publish scholarship in the discipline of Communication. The list includes the 11 journals published by NCA (in boldface, below), as well as journals published independently or by other associations. NCA does not include on this list journals that have been identified as predatory or pay-to-publish journals . The list is categorized by the journal’s primary focus—a journal may appear in more than one category.

While these journals publish Communication scholarship in some form or another, they're not all similar in their aims and scopes for publishing research—some publish book reviews only, while others concentrate on social scientific research. Some only publish historical scholarship, while others are oriented toward publishing public relations case studies. Finding the right outlet for your research is a critical and sometimes difficult task.

Journal overview

• Aims and scope

Communication Research Reports publishes original research in the form of brief empirical articles (approximately 3,500 words maximum, and no more than two tables or figures; accepted papers are usually edited to 10 double-spaced pages prior to press) on a variety of topics of human communication. Empirical studies in the general contexts of interpersonal, organizational, communication traits, intercultural, nonverbal, small group, health, persuasion, mass, political, relational, computer mediated, life-span, and instructional communication are appropriate for submission. Consistent with the mission of the journal, the main portion of submitted manuscripts should focus on the method, results, and interpretation of the results. However, manuscripts must contain a concise theoretical rationale and relevant literature review. All data analyses should report relevant effect size statistics, and we recommend reporting other diagnostics (such as, but not limited to: observed power, tests of significance inflation, and test of insufficient variance, among others) at the Author’s discretion. Papers that do not adhere to the required guidelines may be rejected by the editorial office.

Select manuscripts that have gone through the review process and been received favorably by both reviewers and the Editor may be designated as Brief Reports. Brief Reports will be approximately 2000 words maximum, (with limited space for tables and figures; Brief Reports are usually edited to 5 double-spaced pages prior to press), with the focus highlighting a specific finding and its implications for the discipline. All sections traditionally included in a manuscript will be required, but must be brief and to the point. Authors interested in submitting Brief Reports as their original submission should contact the journal Editor prior to submission.

CRR also encourage the submission of articles designates as a Spotlight on Method or Analysis. These articles will be solicited by the Editor and will take the form of either a Brief Report or Empirical Article (based on consultation with the Editor) highlighting topics that will range from novel methodological approaches and/or statistical techniques to common misconceptions/issues of contemporary controversy related to method/analysis. Such articles are prepared in close collaboration with the Editor, and may be peer reviewed. The Editor reserves the right to include one such manuscript in each issue of CRR. Authors interested in submitting method or analysis spotlights should contact the journal Editor prior to submission.

Building Students’ Oral Presentation, Research Literacy, and Critical-Thinking Skills Through Three-Minute Presentations

• Steven D. Seidel Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi Author
• Stephanie R. Rodriguez Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi Author
• Gina A. Hawkins Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi Author

The three-minute thesis (3MT™), developed by the University of Queensland, is a tool that has been used to help graduate students articulate their research in a concise and engaging manner. This article describes processes for using a three-minute presentation (3MP) for classroom use to improve students’ research literacy, critical-thinking, and oral communication skills. Quantitative and qualitative retrospective self-report data collected suggest that the use of 3MP assignments positively impacts these skills. The 3MP format can be used for a wide range of assignments.
