Communication Design Quarterly Review (CDQR)

Communication Design Quarterly Review (commonly published and indexed as Communication Design Quarterly or CDQ) is the peer‑reviewed scholarly journal of the Association for Computing Machinery’s (ACM) Special Interest Group on the Design of Communication (SIGDOC). First appearing in 2012 under the ISSN 2166‑1642, CDQ is published on a quarterly basis and is included in the ACM Digital Library. The journal’s mission is to promote scholarship that advances understanding of communication design across academic, professional, and technological domains, emphasizing both research rigor and practical impact. It attracts work from fields such as technical communication, user experience (UX) design, information design, rhetoric, usability studies, and multimodal communication, with submissions including original research, case studies, design processes, empirical investigations, and pedagogical innovations. CDQ serves as a forum for exploring how designers conceive, articulate, and implement effective communication solutions in complex socio‑technical environments. Content typically includes detailed studies of user interaction designs, workplace communication technologies, accessible design practices, and strategies for communicating complex information clearly and ethically. As a SIGDOC publication, CDQ embodies the interdisciplinary spirit of the field, fostering dialogue between researchers, educators, and practitioners and influencing both theory and practice in communication design. The quarterly frequency ensures consistent dissemination of timely and impactful work in this evolving domain.
