International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders (IJLCD)
Journal Descriptions
The International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders is a peer-reviewed scientific and clinical journal that serves as a leading global forum for research into speech, language, and communication disorders. Established in 1966, and currently published bimonthly by Wiley-Blackwell for the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists, the journal promotes the advancement of both theoretical understanding and clinical practice related to communication impairments across the lifespan. Its scope includes studies on developmental language disorders, aphasia, dysarthria, stuttering, voice disorders, swallowing disorders, and social communication disorders, as well as research on assessment tools, diagnostic methods, intervention approaches, and evidence-based therapy outcomes. The journal welcomes high-quality quantitative and qualitative research reports, systematic reviews, clinical discussions, and conceptual papers that bridge scientific inquiry and clinical relevance. Given its multidisciplinary appeal, the journal attracts contributions from speech-language pathologists, audiologists, linguists, psychologists, and rehabilitation specialists working in academic, clinical, and educational settings. As an official outlet of the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists, the journal plays a key role in disseminating knowledge that shapes clinical guidelines, informs best practices, and supports improvements in communication-related health services internationally.
