Editor's Focus


Asian Journal of Communication
ejournal

Since its inception in 1990, the Asian Journal of Communication (AJC) has been a flagship publication of the Asian Media and Information Centre (AMIC) in conjunction with the School of Communication and Information at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. It publishes articles that develop communication theory, report empirical research, and describe advances made in research methodology.

The AJC, founded by Prof. Eddie Kuo and the late Dr. Anura Goonasekera, is a refereed international publication that aims to facilitate the understanding of the systems and processes of communication in the Asia Pacific region. It follows a rigorous procedure of blind peer review and maintains a high standard of scholarship. The acceptance rate of the Journal for 2004 stands at 15%.

While still editorially housed in the School of Communication and Information at NTU, the publishing and distribution of the Journal moved from AMIC to Routledge Journals, a division of the Taylor & Francis Group (UK) in January, 2004. Thus, AJC is now available via subscription or through the Internet to hundreds of university libraries worldwide.

The Journal, which currently publishes three issues a year, will become a quarterly in 2006.
