We've been asked what makes our editorial process different. Well ... in some ways, we're not so unique. We're aspiring to be a top-tier journal of International Communication Association (ICA Official Page) and we're generally open to anything that fits "under the ICA umbrella."

It's time again for our bi-monthly reporting! Since we're still in our first hear, we've chosen to do these as "year-to-date" reports to give a full picture of the journal to this point in 2025. A few highlights as we thread along.

Exciting times for the journal, folks. In the last 10 days, we've accepted our first manuscript and issued "accept, pending" decisions on two others.
It's fab seeing the work come together, from remarkably rigorous and detailed peer review to equally detailed and engaging Author replies. =)
