The main guidelines of the Journal editorial policy are oriented to the 
concepts of "citizenship" and "participation", understood from a 
communicational point of view, involving processes and devices of 
knowledge circulation and opinion formation in the political field in 
general, and in specific areas of public policy such as health, 
education, science culture, public opinion, gender and identity.

As examples of priority interests areas one finds the following: 
journalism and public opinion; citizen, participatory and public 
journalism; responsibility and accountability of institutions, 
governments and companies; media and public sphere; social movements in 
the areas of environment, science, health, ecology, culture, identity 
and gender; media and political parties; political representation; new 
forms of online participation; methods of analysis of participation; 
digital democracy; media, deliberation and participation; communitarian 
communication; communication and development; policies of recognition 
and comparative studies of communication in different geographical and 
cultural contexts, among others.

"Communication Studies" is intended to include various approaches, 
methodologies and lines of research, defining itself as a journal of 
Communication Sciences with an interdisciplinary profile and open to a 
plurality of methods.

The journal "Communication Studies" accepts articles in different areas 
of Communication Sciences, journalism studies, advertising, public 
relations, media studies, reception studies, political communication, 
communication theories, communication epistemology, sociology of 
communication and other related fields.
