Call for Papers

Research Articles

The Journal of Communication Technology (ISSN 2694-3883), the official journal of the Communication Technology division of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication, is currently accepting manuscripts for review.

JoCTEC welcomes scholarship from a broad area of inquiry, with the expressed mission to bring together research that facilitates discussion and cultivates understanding of the ways in which communication technologies are changing not only media processes and content, but also audiences, institutions, and society at large. We ask for submissions with a particular focus that pertains to communication technologies, this includes but is not limited to studies of advertising, science, networks, health, politics, history, policy, public relations, management, economics, ethics, minorities, visual communication, and social media.

JoCTEC is not limited to a particular theoretical and methodological perspective. We welcome research that informs debates from comparative empirical perspectives and more conceptual and theoretical approaches. What remains at the forefront for our journal is that scholarship is systematic and rigorous concerning communication technologies and their impacts, no matter the disciplinary precision of the inquiry.
