The Canadian Journal of Communication

The objective of the Canadian Journal of Communication (CJC) is to publish Canadian research and scholarship in the field of communication studies. In pursuing this objective, particular attention is paid to research that has a distinctive Canadian flavour by virtue of choice of topic or by drawing on the legacy of Canadian theory and research. The purview of the journal is the entire field of communication studies as practiced in Canada or with relevance to Canada.

The CJC is an online, quarterly journal. Back issues are accessible with a 12-month delay as Open Access with a CC-BY-NC-ND licence. Access to the most recent year's issues, including the current issue, requires a subscription.

New Platform and Peer Review System

The CJC is very pleased to announce a new publishing partnership with University of Toronto Press. The journal has transitioned to a new web hosting platform as well as a new submission and peer review system as of July 1, 2022.
