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.
