Communication Quarterly (CQ), a scholarly, academic journal, is sponsored by the Eastern Communication Association (ECA), the oldest communication association, founded in 1910. CQ publishes refereed manuscripts extending the understanding of human communication and is philosophically committed to an eclectic approach and to the publication of high quality articles. Manuscripts considered for publication may be research reports, critical studies, state-of-the-art reviews, reports of topical interest, supported opinion papers, and other essays related to the areas that compose the study of communication. Articles are philosophical, theoretical, methodological, critical, applied, pedagogical, or empirical in nature. While CQ is supported by the ECA, it does have a national and international readership. Hence, submissions come from diverse geographic areas and cultures worldwide, and are selected by a rigorous process of blind peer review.

CQ, founded in 1953 as Today's Speech, recently celebrated its golden anniversary. Since the adoption of the name, CQ in 1970, the journal has been recognized as a top-tier journal in the field of communication. The requirements for submitting articles are available from Jerry L. Allen, University of New Haven, CT, USA 06516-1999 (email: jlallen@newhaven.edu). Beginning with Volume 53 (2005), CQ has been published and distributed by Routledge, Taylor & Francis, and is available via subscription or through university libraries worldwide.
