Communication Monographs is a peer-reviewed publication of the National Communication Association. Communication Monographs publishes original scholarship that contributes to the understanding of human communication.
Articles in Communication Monographs should endeavor to ask questions about the diverse and complex issues that interest communication scholars.
The journal especially welcomes questions that bridge boundaries traditionally separating scholars within the communication discipline and that address issues of clear theoretical, conceptual, methodological, and/or social importance.
Diverse approaches to addressing and answering these questions, including theoretical argument, quantitative and qualitative empirical research, and rhetorical and textual analysis, as well as acknowledgement of the often tentative and partial nature of any answers, are welcomed. Approaches to answering questions should be clearly relevant to the questions asked, rigorous in terms of both argument and method, cognizant of alternative interpretations, and contextualized within the wider body of communication scholarship.
In considering the questions and answers posed in submissions to Communication Monographs , a premium will be placed on cogent arguments and on writing that is clear and understandable to readers across the various areas of Communication research.
