Western Journal of Communication (WJC)

Published quarterly since 1937 then moving to five times a year beginning in 2010, the Western Journal of Communication is one of two scholarly journals of the Western States Communication Association (WSCA). The journal is dedicated to the publication of original scholarship that enhances our understanding of human communication. Diverse theoretical and methodological perspectives are welcome. WJC's longstanding commitment to multiple approaches, perspectives, and issues is reflected by its history of publishing research across rhetorical and media studies, interpersonal and intercultural communication, critical and cultural studies, language behavior, performance studies, small group and organizational communication, freedom of speech, and health and family communication. Research accessible to both scholarly audiences and the learned public is strongly encouraged. The Western Journal of Communication typically does not publish manuscripts over 9,000 words, and submissions that exceed 11,000 words will be returned to the author without review. Manuscripts must not be under consideration by another publication. Western Journal of Communication follows a policy of blind, peer review, and each manuscript typically is read by two or three reviewers with expertise in the study's subject matter and methodology. All comments by reviewers are confidential and shall not be published. Based on the recommendations of the reviewers, the editor will make the final judgment with regard to publication. The editor will make every effort to insure that authors are informed as to the disposition of their manuscript within three months of receipt of the submission. WJC receives all manuscript submission electronically via ScholarOne Manuscripts. ScholarOne Manuscripts allows for rapid and easy submission of original and revised manuscripts, as well as reviewing and internal communication between authors, editors and reviewers via a web-based platform.
