Review of Communication Research (RCR) publishes literature reviews and meta-analyses. RCR is an open-access academic journal that publishes comprehensive and authoritative reviews of the current state of the main topics and the most significant developments in the field of communication. These comprehensive critical reviews summarize the latest advances in the field, but also will root out errors and will provoke intellectual discussions among scholars. 

The journal seeks both evaluative (systematic literature reviews, narrative literature reviews, state-of-the literature articles) and quantitative (meta-analyses) papers that make a state of the art of issues in scientific communication. Integrative review articles that connect different areas of research are of special interest.

Articles are published in a continuous publication model, which means that articles are published online as soon as they are ready for publication.
