Journal of Communications
|
||||||||
| The Journal of Communication is published quarterly by the International Communicantions as well as Oxford University Press. In these journals, communications scholars/scientists publish their findings of different communication studies and experiments. | ||||||||
| The format that they follow when explaining these studies are basically in the scientific method. The first paragraph is italicized and summarizes what the study is about, the hypotenuse, and the results. Then, in some, of the studies there is an analysis and any theories that connect to the study. In all the entries the method is explained and then the results of them are told. In some, tables and graphs are used to better emphasize and explain the findings. After the discussion of results, all the scholars lists the references that they used to acquire the information used in their research. | ||||||||
| The journals cover an array of communication studies, but there were a lot of studies that focused on politics, aging, marriage, and stereotypes. Also, advertisements were limited. In all four journals there were at least one, no more than four, page of ads. All were located on the back inside cover; if there were more than one it was on the opposite page. These ads were communications oriented. They announced important events, or listed new communications book releases that Oxford publishes. | ||||||||
| Even though the intended audience was other communication scholars, college students could comprehend the vocabulary and understand the studies and their findings. The journals were worth reading and there are very appealing experiments that were done. | ||||||||
