The Chinese Journal of Communication (CJoC), launched in 2008, is a new venture of scholarly publication aimed at elevating Chinese communication studies along theoretical, empirical, and methodological dimensions, while contributing to the understanding of media, information, and communication phenomena around the world. The new refereed journal is an important international platform for students and scholars in Chinese communication studies to exchange ideas and research results, both with each other and globally. Interdisciplinary in scope, it examines subjects in all Chinese societies in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau, Singapore, and the global Chinese diaspora, which, in total, account for a quarter of humanity.

The CJoC welcomes scholarly works using social scientific or humanistic approaches on such topics as mass communication, journalism studies, telecommunications, rhetoric, cultural studies, media effects, new communication technologies, organizational communication, interpersonal communication, advertising and public relations, political communication, communications law and policy, and so on. Articles employing historical and comparative analysis focused on traditional Chinese culture as well as contemporary processes such as globalization, deregulation, and democratization are also welcome.

In addition to research articles, CJoC will include reviews of the field and subfields in Chinese communication studies as well as key issues in the Chinese media industry including film, Internet, mobile communication, creative industry, to mention just a few. A particular section is devoted to book reviews on various communication processes in Chinese societies.

All research articles published in the Chinese Journal of Communication (CJoC) have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two anonymous referees.
