About the Journal

Review of Communication Research publishes both evaluative (systematic reviews, narrative literature reviews, state-of-the-literature reviews) and quantitative reviews (meta-analyses) 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 root out errors and provoke intellectual discussions among scholars.
