Asian Communication Research (ACR) is a refereed
international publication that features cutting-edge

ACR welcomes original research articles, theoretical

Editorial Policy
Asian Communication Research (ACR) publishes original works from international scholars
that deal, specifically or in part, with communication phenomena in the Asia-Pacific region in
cross-cultural or international context.
ACR maintains a broad scholarly focus on all aspects of communication without limits to
topics, methodological approaches, and theoretical perspectives. ACR covers all aspects of
communications including the modern mass media, the traditional media, community and
alternative media, telecommunications and information and communication technologies.
While extensive in scholarly interest, submitted manuscripts must establish the significance
of the topic, soundness of the methodology, and appropriateness of the theoretical
perspective. International in scope, ACR seeks to be a general forum for the international
community of communication scholars, with an international reputation and of interest to
international audiences.
With emphasis on bringing to its readers the latest, broadest, and the most comprehensive
findings across communication fields, ACR will publish thematic issues, providing in depth
coverage of key areas of interest. ACR publishes three times a year: May 30, September 30,
and December 30.
